Updated

Julie particularly identified with what Janice had written, although her circumstances are very different. She also was affected by the stories of Ganymedes, and Tony #3. I've added a new section inviting readers to write in to say how the stories have affected or helped them.

Added July 12, 2009

"You can tell someone to bump that 0% on early recanalization of a vasectomy that included cautery just a tiny bit. The lesson in this story is for everyone to do the right thing and get tested twice with two negative results before stopping the use of contraceptives."
