The comic panel to the right — from Condoms and the Pill, a Planned Parenthood comic from 1956 — certainly rings some bells, doesn't it?
Features a women so terrified at the thought of having a fourth baby she won't even let her husband KISS her. The husband gets so starved for sex he can't concentrate and jams his hand into heavy machinery at the plant! Amazing time capsule showing US views toward condoms and other birth control to be still heavily stigmatized as late as 1962.
If only I'd known this stuff beforehand, at least one of my ex-girlfriends would not have had to pull her tampon out of her nostril
