LOL. No really, in a way it does. I can explain. My wife and I had two children. She tried several methods of birth control but they never agreed with her. We really can't afford any more children at this point, and her career is kicking into gear now so if we have another child it will be a few years from now. Sooooo, the only option was really condoms. I am not fond of those things.
