I was really, really bad about this during college. I took tons or risks (unprotected sex, etc.), because we didn't have AIDS on our horizon, etc. STD education was limited, and it just didn't seem to be possible. I was very lucky that I didn't end up with a kid during that time. My wife is anal about taking medication, so there has never been an issue with her getting pregnant without us planning it. The two kids we have were planned and conceived almost on the day we planned it (we charted her temperature after she got off the pill).
