    For the uninitiated, NFP is Natural Family Planning - the practice of avoiding coitus during ovulation as a form of birth control. It’s seen as a natural form of birth control compared to artificial birth control in the form of condoms and the pill.

    It’s strange to me that the Catholic Church singles out birth control as needing to be natural, but not much else.

    It’s around 75% effective at preventing pregnancies, but doesn’t stop STIs obviously.
