Five common misconceptions about contraception that young people should be aware of.

In today's increasingly open sexual attitudes and with more widespread sex education, many young people believe they have sufficient knowledge about sex. However, a recent survey in the UK has found that many young people have very dangerous misconceptions about pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. The UK's "National Campaign to Prevent Unplanned Pregnancy in Teenagers" surveyed young people aged 18-29 and found the following five major misconceptions. Misconception 1: If a woman has not used contraception and has not become pregnant, she is likely infertile.
59% of young women believe that if they haven't conceived despite using contraception, they are infertile. This is a dangerous misconception. Unless supported by medical examinations, such conclusions should never be drawn. Furthermore, the risk of unintended pregnancy is as high as 85% for those who do not use contraception.
Myth 2: Taking birth control pills is more harmful to women's health than unintended pregnancy.
37% of women believe that the health risks of oral contraceptives outweigh those of unintended pregnancy. This is not true. The health risks of pregnancy are 20 times higher than taking oral contraceptives for a year.
Myth 3: Wearing two condoms is safer.
28% of men believe that wearing an extra condom provides an extra layer of protection. The truth is quite the opposite: friction between two condoms makes them more prone to breakage, increasing the risk of unintended pregnancy.
Myth 4: Standing during sex can prevent pregnancy.
This misconception has been prevalent for a long time, especially among young people. In fact, regardless of the position used for sex or the location, the chances of conception are roughly the same.
Myth 5: I already have enough sex knowledge.
90% of young people said they have enough sex education to prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. However, at the same time, 60% admitted they know nothing or very little about birth control pills, and 30% have only a superficial understanding of condoms.
