Actually, Campus Health is selling birth control at a reduced price like last year. Look at the bottom right corner of this page for more info http://www.mcmaster.ca/health/

Don't have sex. If that's impossible, try the ancient Egyptian method of birth control. If you are looking for more modern methods you could always engage in alternative sexual activities.

Abstinence education fails (see USA). People will have sex, and there's nothing you can do about it. Providing low-cost contraceptives is the best solution anyone can provide anywhere. Campus Health, in partnership with the MSU will be providing low-cost contraceptives just like last year.

You need to book an appointment. Call 905-525-9140 and enter the extension 27700. Have your student card and timetable ready.

Or you could go into the campus health centre in the basement of the student centre MUSC B101.

There are also free condoms in B106 : ). I think we're out of lube though.

Yes, yes they will.

Amen to that.

Lol apparently the crocodile thing they used AIDED in contraception because it made a better environment for spermies to swim around in.

Some interesting forms of past birth control: http://www.momversation.com/blog/mos...ontrol-methods

Sex is badddddddddddddddd. But telling people not to do it is like leaving a rope with a "don't pull me" sign. You know you shouldn't... but you will.

No it's not actually like that but it's fun to think of it that way.

Also note that they also sell emergency contraception (which also requires an appointment) for when accidents happen! Just wondering, can you buy extra Plan B pills in case you need them when the clinic isn't open?
