For the first time ever, I noticed condoms were on sale at the drug store the other day. With a coupon in the paper and everything!

Pull and pray might seem advantageous but it's one mighty expensive gamble, especially if you've irritated the higher powers lately.

Inexpensive things that end up costing you money?

Historically frugal sex occurs after a couple gets married and has children.

Don't have sex unless you are ready for the cost of children or living with an STD. That would scare most people in abstinence. I just have to laugh because there are so many people with "accidental" kids.

At my age, all I can expect is sweaty sex and a smile. And its a good chance both are accidents.

According to my OB, the combination of timing and withdrawal are actually pretty effective. Basically, you have to abstain for about a week and a half out of every month, starting about on the fourth day following the start of a woman's period. At all other times, the key is for the male to exit stage left before he takes his bow.

Of course, for those who really can't take a chance on a pregnancy, a basic, generic birth control pill isn't really that expensive if you have insurance and is probably worth the cost of the co-pay.
