I was talking to my girlfriend about contraception, and she gave me some wrong information. She said, “Soda is good for that, it doesn’t do anything.” How can I take such a ridiculous thing seriously? Honestly, at that moment, I was torn between laughing and getting angry. How can people believe such things? Do you think it’s right to argue about these kinds of issues, or should one just stay completely silent?
Drinking gazoz won’t protect you, your girlfriend is basically telling a urban legend. I think you should talk seriously about this. If you’re hesitant, you can go together to a gynecologist or a pharmacist to learn about birth control methods. I believe it’s time to have an open conversation.
So, how did you react when you said that? Did you just stay quiet, did the topic end, or did you discuss it? It’s quite a critical thing, after all.
@sorgulayan Actually, I fell silent at that moment because it was so ridiculous, but then I asked, ‘Are you serious about this?’ He said yes, but I realized he wasn’t joking. I mean, the guy genuinely believes it 
I just want to say one thing, I’ve heard similar things in my neighborhood too. For example, they used to say, ‘if you squeeze a lemon, it protects you’ or something like that. It might not be so unbelievable, you know. Your partner might have heard other things as well.
@mahrem_saf Lemon or something like that won’t protect you, it’s all urban legend. These things require knowing the right protection methods. Both sides need to understand this and take responsibility. The outcome will be bad with misinformation.
What kind of logic is this?! Lemon, soda, whatever. Are we really learning such important matters from neighborhood gossip, for God’s sake?
