So both my wife and I wish we could transfer the knowledge this comic provides as I would have talked with her to get one just after we were married and if she knew she might have hit planned parenthood at 18. The author is I think something like 10 years younger than us. Maybe a bit less. Its the type of thing that makes you want to live in the future. I came from a family of seven kids and I know my parents did not really get condoms until late in life and I had this conversation with an elderly lady when I was in college who grew up in the south and was pregnant when she had believed the stork brought babies. Drives me crazy the folks in my country who want to be like the past. Of course what they want is for lesser folk to live like the past while they reap the fruits of a modern life.

    IUD insertion is often painful, standard of care only recently updated to include pain management. Women would essentially have to self medicate with Tylenol and ibuprofen if they were even knowledgeable about how painful the procedure can be.
