In this episode Chad takes responsibility as the fall guy for this men-talking-about-women’s-health episode, while Ben loosely associates so as to maintain the safe appearance of neutrality. The two have to hold their mouths in the closed position for fear of gaping dumbly at all the utterly fascinating insights shared in this interview.
- What are some things dads need to know about what their young daughters are going through during their teen years?
- How does the Creighton Model Fertility/NaPro Technology differ from more traditional approaches to women’s health?
- In what ways does the use of the pill adversely affect a young woman’s future fertility? (And what is Ben’s burning question about contraception at the end of the episode?)
