Abstinence is a form of contraception.
This is a debate that I have with my PE teacher a lot! I say it is'nt, but he says it is. When I ask other teachers they say that it's not but 'In context' it is.
I would like to settle the score once and for all, and shove it in his face.

Abstinence is the most effective contraception, it is 100% effective. Not one woman has ever become pregnant following abstinence. Sex is a form responsibility, and taking part in the activity must have responsibility attached, therefore, either it is parenthood or the right contraception that being abstinence or condoms. Side: It is.

Unless she is raped, or artificially inseminated. Now that is not abstinence now is it, it is rape or artificially inseminated. Those are separate issues. Stay on topic. Abstinence is a voluntary restraint from indulging in bodily activities that are widely experienced as giving pleasure as opposed to rape is involuntary or AI is a alternative choice for voluntary impregnation. Side: It is.

Contraception is a way to prevent pregnancy while having sex. Abstinence is the avoidance of sex. In order to be contraception it must be a part of sexual intercourse or foreplay. Calling abstinence a form of contraception is similar to calling clear a colour. Side: It is not.
I cannot find any other source that refers to a contraceptive as something that must be a part of sexual intercourse or foreplay. The definition states that anything, tangible or not, that prevents conception is a contraceptive. What led you to define it the way you did? Side: It is.
What led you to define it the way you did? The need to have a specific divide so that, for example, missing an important date due to a traffic jam doesn't make the traffic jam (or lateness) a form of contraception. You need to use a method or technology while having sex for it to count as a contraceptive. Lack of sex couldn't be a contraceptive without making any and all distractions and interruptions to sex contraceptives themselves. Side: It is not.

Thats like saying driving your car is a form of contraception, in fact doing anything except having sexual intercourse by this argument is a form of contraception, oral sex or masturbation is also a form of contraception. This doesn't work, how can abstinence be contraception as in order for it to be a contraceptive the act has to take place and the conception has to be blocked. Side: It is not.
