After tracing the salient aspects of the changes in sexual activity and birth control practices in Italy among recent generations, this paper examines the dichotomies used to classify contraception methods, especially in light of the recently availability of hormone-based emergency contraception pills. Using the data collected from self-administered structured questionnaires completed by four hundred girls, ages fourteen to sixteen, in the Molise region of Italy, this paper comments on their choices and knowledge about different options to prevent pregnancy and the acceptance of emergency contraception as part of their contraceptive behaviour.
