It’s Friday. Let’s Talk Birth Control.

Listen. It’s Friday night.Your group chat is blowing up, somebody’s planning a sneaky link, and a whole lot of people are about to make decisions with ZERO real talk about birth control. Again. 🙄

We’re not doing that anymore. Not on my watch.

Because contraception isn’t just about “not getting pregnant.” It’s about control. It's about clarity. It's about knowing what you want and not letting bad information, pressure, or silence make the decision for you.

So let’s run it back with some Friday truths:

Truth #1: You can love sex AND love your future.

Let me say it louder for the folks in the back. Wanting pleasure, intimacy, or just curiosity? That doesn’t cancel out your goals, sis. Contraception helps you do both. You can be sexually active and in charge of your life plan. Those two things are not enemies.

Truth #2: “He said he’d pull out” is NOT a method.

Babes. Respectfully? That man cannot control his PlayStation, let alone his reproductive timing. Withdrawal is not great birth control — it’s hope in a trench coat.

Truth #3: If you’re googling it at 11:37pm, you probably needed this convo days ago.

Emergency contraception (a.k.a. Plan B) is not your backup plan for poor communication. Also, it’s not an abortion pill. It won’t work if you’re already pregnant. It’s most effective the sooner you take it, so waiting until Sunday morning is not the move.

Truth #4: Contraceptive choices should rotate with your real life.

On the pill but forget it half the week? Hating your periods on the shot? Annoyed by the IUD side effects? Cool, let’s change it up.

Contraception isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your needs, your goals, and your lifestyle might change — your birth control can too. That’s not a failure. That’s a level of grown woman everyone can aspire to.

Truth #5: Silence is NOT safety.

Teens are out here getting pregnant, catching infections, and making big decisions in total silence. No guidance. No support. No truth. We don’t gate keep around here. We educate. We empower. We talk like we give a damn.

So yeah. It’s Friday. And whether you’re chillin', cuffed, or curious — know this:You deserve real information, real options, and real conversations that don’t make you feel small for wanting to know your body.

Because smart is sexy. Prepared is powerful. And birth control? That’s your business. But it’s also your RIGHT.

Stay safe, stay ready, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Your future self will thank you. 💅🏾
