[Mrs. Don-o]

Personalized algorithm-based digital bio-technology, more effective than the Pill but without the cancer.

Sounds like an idea whose time has finally, finally, FINALLY come.

They could simply put on a picture of Nancy Pelosi. That will do the trick.

There is already a calendar application that tracks a woman’s cycle. I know about this because my friend says he use it to track his wife’s cycle and he knows what days she’s going to be in the mood based upon her being mid cycle

I still think the aspirin is the best birth-control drug. Place it between your knees and hold it there.

[refermech]

So if she gets pregnant, who gets sued?

[Mrs. Don-o]

I don’t think either the husbands or the wives would favor the approaches you suggest...

[Bodleian_Girl]

One wonders if they harvest any personal information.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Yes, there are effective, do-able calendar approaches, and they’ve been getting better and better for the past 50 or 60 years. This app seems to be just the latest in making things super-accurate and at the same time not dauntingly complex.

You can use it for either postponing or achieving pregnancy.

Or, as you say, for figuring out when the wife is likely going to be mmmmmmmost mmmmmmmmellow toward the couple coupling thing.

Mmmmmmmm...

There’s-an-app-for-that.... bump

[Mrs. Don-o]

Depends if the couple was trying to avoid, or achieve, pregnancy.

Shouldn’t be any lawyering involved.

[Tax-chick]

I assume it still requires the choice to abstain if it is to be natural. The article mentioned “protection” as an option.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Oh, Lordy! If the whole world knew my Basal Body Temperature!

[newnhdad]

if you need s phone to keep up with your activity, maybe you need another hobby.. like cold showers..

[Vince Ferrer]

Sounds good, but this not the first NFP app out there.

[AC Beach Patrol]

Thank God there is another way to slow down the exploding white population in the West.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I think you’re right -— it’s not the first. Maybe it’s the most sophisticated: results in 2.12 seconds, 96% user-effectiveness.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Right you are.

[Mrs. Don-o]

This is good for achieving pregnancy as well, by choosing intercourse at the most-fertile times.

Experience seems to show that NFP couples end up having more kids anyway, because over the years, they end up wanting more kids.

It certainly allows for choosing to optimize reproductive success across the fertile years --- unlike, say, sterilization.

[inchworm]

Everyone will use it except those who subscribe to a murderous religion that advocates taking over the world.
