Does drinking salt water immediately after unprotected sex help prevent pregnancy?
Of course not. If it were that easy to prevent pregnancy, birth control wouldn’t be such a big deal. The reality is that there is nothing you can do after sex to prevent pregnancy except get an emergency contraceptive pill and take it as soon as possible. They only work within the first few days. These were invented precisely because none of the other things that people have ever tried have worked.
That’s some old wives’ tale, don’t be deceived. I swear I can’t believe these old canards are still floating around out there. With all of the information available to almost everyone online, there’s no excuse for even asking this question. Think about it. What is it that is in salt and water that would make woman miscarry the baby she is carrying? Neither one of them is an abortifacient. How much salt would be enough, do you think? Come on. Stop living in a fantasy world. You either get on a reliable birth control or you would have to take responsibility for your lack of responsibility.
