During the period of low BBT and in the first three days of high BBT, contraceptives such as condoms should be used.

32. CERVICAL MUCUS METHOD The change in the cervical mucus during ovulation is the basis of the Billings Ovulation Method . During ovulation, the cervical mucus becomes copious, thin, and watery , allowing sperm to swim more easily. It also exhibits the property of spinnbarkeit , meaning it can be stretched between the fingers without breaking, indicating high fertility.

33. OVULATION DETECTION Uses at over-the-counter kit that requires the urine sample of the woman. The kit can predict ovulation through the surge of luteinizing hormone that happens 12 to 24 hours before ovulation.

43. DIAPHRAGM A circular rubber disk that fits the cervix and should be placed before coitus. Diaphragm works by inhibiting the entrance of the sperm into the female reproductive organ and works better when used together with a spermicide.

44. MALE CONDOMS Is placed on the erect male reproductive organ before penetration into female reproductive organ to trap the sperm during the ejaculation.

45. FEMALE CONDOM Made up of latex rubber sheath that are pre-lubricated with spermicide. They are usually bound by two rings. The first inserted against the opening of the female reproductive organ and the inner ring covers the cervix.

49. VALUES INFUSION: Biblical Citations Regarding Responsible Sexuality Gal. 5:16-19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

50. 1Cor. 6:17-20 The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

51. 1Cor.5;1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans…..Let him who has done this be removed from among you

52. 1Cor. 5;11. But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater , reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”

53. Col. 3:5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming.

54. Lev. 20:10- Punishments for Sexual Immorality 1. If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor , both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.. If a man lies with a male as with a woman to a woman , have committed an abomination. If a man takes a woman and her mother also, it is depravity; If a man lies with an animal , he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal. If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it , they shall surely be put to death.

55. Thes . 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality ; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; fornication ( sexual intercourse between unmarried man and woman)
