I changed the word 'safety' to 'effectiveness' because the Pearl Index evidently concerns itself only with how well unwanted pregnancies are avoided. Rating various methods for safety would involve measuring the number and severity of unhealthy side effects. Wesley
This article really needs a list of values for various methods. Those should also be added to the repective articles, as it has been in Oral contraceptive. -- Apoc2400 01:18, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
Maybe it is just me being stupid, but how come there is no mentioning of the relation to the amount of sexual activity the involved persons have? And in particular, how that correlate with the choice of method of birth control?
A special case of the above could also be the effect on the sexual lust that some methods have, which may indeed decrease the chance/risk of getting pregnant, but not really in the way you would normally want.

This section takes up more than half the article and a lot of it looks like OR. I think that for reasons of WP:WEIGHT it should be cut down. TallNapoleon ( talk) 20:56, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
