As with sexual consent, no one can force you to use contraception. The contraceptive choice should be an intimate act, made knowingly, freely for yourself and/or shared with someone you trust, your partner(s), with the aim of having sexual relations free of the procreative act.
However, contraceptive practice can also involve a high degree of risk in cases of intimidation, coercion or violence. When you are unprepared for, or unable to consent to, contraceptive practice, there is an increased risk of not observing the method perfectly, and therefore a high risk of unwanted pregnancy.
