to maintain an erection. Sometimes, men have lot of interest in pornography.

Often, couples visit counsellors so that advice can be sought on various
methods of contraception. A doctor or a counsellor must always be consulted
before contraceptive pills are taken. These pills have progesterone and estrogens

powerful hormones bring about an interruption in the monthly cycle, it must be
consumed only under medical supervision. The doctor keeps a check on all the
side effects.
