Being born and raised in Sudan, I have experienced a much different culture. Where I lived the population was mostly Muslim. In Muslim culture, abstinence is the only method that is taught. You are taught to save yourself for marriage. There are no condom or birth control pill commercials so I think that many people in Sudan don’t really know about the all of the contraceptives. In The United States, sex is a much more open topic therefore a person will know a lot more. Some religions don’t believe in contraceptives at all and as a result couples could have many children. I was born and raised Muslim and I taught to not have sex until I got married. There is nothing wrong with using birth control after you get married if a couple is not ready to get pregnant.
Interesting, i feel all cultures are taught abstinence of course, but never knew some religions did not believe in contraceptives. Interesting to find out in Sudan there are not any birth control commercials.
