Share Adolescents engage in unprotected sex and other risky sexual behaviours because of some wrong beliefs and impressions about how to prevent unwanted pregnancy. These risky sexual behaviours predispose adolescents to sexually transmitted infections, unsafe abortion and other reproductive health problems. Oftentimes, misconceptions about the usefulness of condoms and other contraceptives expose many unmarried adolescents to the risk of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Some young people have the misconception that pregnancy could be prevented by the use of hard drugs, laxatives, white chlorine, and boiled alcoholic beverages. In South-Eastern Nigeria, a study that explored some of the mistaken beliefs about condoms and other methods of preventing pregnancy among adolescents indicated that some still use hard drugs, laxatives, white chlorine and boiled alcoholic beverage as emergency contraceptives.
