Fantasy Contraception	comment	In the fantasy genre, you sometimes run across some unusual methods of preventing pregnancy. Maybe the characters "know the right herbs," or maybe they have a magic pendant, or maybe humans and elves can't breed, or maybe they're sterile for some reason that only exists in that particular world. It doesn't usually matter what the method is, but it's not the contraception that would be found a modern-day, real-life setting. Many authors don't bother with it — the characters have sex and the plot continues apace. Nothing new there — authors of many genres want their characters to have sex, but don't want pregnancy to be part of the plot. But some of them feel a need to explain why the one did not lead to the other. Perhaps they think that their characters will look careless if they are not clearly stated to have used contraception. Perhaps they think that they will look careless if they don't tell their readers that "yes, I did think of that, thank you." Maybe the sex happens often enough that otherwise someone would pretty much have to get pregnant just out of random chance. Whatever the cause, they decide to specifically mention the steps taken by their characters to avoid an unwanted pregnancy, rather than just leave it unsaid. But in fantasy, there are limited options, since modern types of contraception will generally seem out of place (some of them are actually Older Than They Think, but the average viewer might not know this because Reality Is Unrealistic and they still weren't necessarily common). The answer? Just plain make something up, or else dig up something that's real but relatively unknown. Or for that matter, fictionalize a real method — the ones that find their way into fantasy works are sometimes safer, sanitized versions of how it really works. It rarely matters what — the point is, the characters can entertain themselves as frequently as necessary without the writer having to worry about biological cause and effect getting in the way of the story. If a fantasy setting has Eternal Sexual Freedom and the writer bothers to explain why, this is probably the most common excuse. The particular method may be Applied Phlebotinum. In settings where it exists, it can often be one of the Women's Mysteries. Some methods, especially the herbal ones with a grounding in historical fact, are more likely to be Fantasy Abortifacients than Fantasy Contraceptives, though authors tend to ignore the distinction. Sadly, most of the specifics have been lost with the rise of modern medicine so their effectiveness is only speculative. Compare Magical Abortion.

Fantasy Contraception / int_13616bef	comment	The Inda universe takes the concept a step further. Women don't drink an herbal potion to prevent pregnancy; they won't get pregnant unless they drink it in advance. It's one of many little peculiarities of everyday life caused by the magic latent to the world. Of course, this, combined with the magically-induced nonexistence of STDs, leads to lots and lots of loving.

Fantasy Contraception / int_16fc4335	comment	Heralds of Valdemar In the setting, there are two different herbal compounds available for female Heralds (and presumably anyone else). Moonflower is a combination contraceptive/period-regulating drug that appears to be at least as reliable as the modern birth control pill. Should you slip up, though, they have at least one herbal abortifacient, "childbane", which is a bit harsher on the body but still readily available. In the first trilogy Heralds are incapable of loving anyone beyond friendship unless magically forced to with a lifebond, and that plus their very hazardous lives makes avoiding pregnancy a particularly high priority. Gryphons, meanwhile, have to go through several steps before doing the deed in order to become fertilenote If you're curious, females must fast and then gorge themselves to trick their bodies into thinking food for offspring is plentiful, and males must lower their body temperature through rest or magic to bring sperm out of dormancy. And the sex has to be really good afterward for a successful conception — the better the deed, the higher the chances of multiple offspring. As a created species, this was set up deliberately — they only get kids if they really want them. Risk-free sex at all other times is a bonus.

Fantasy Contraception / int_247422c7	comment	Similarly, in Honor Harrington, women can get a 5-year contraceptive implant. It's actually mandated for any front-line female officer, but they have a right to extract the implant at any moment, but pregnant women are taken off ship duty and reassigned to safer (less radioactive) postings until they give birth or (more likely in this setting) put the fetus into a tube to be brought to term artificially. Implants are supposed to be replaced every 5 years. Honor spends some time on a prison planet and is listed dead. When she comes back, a clerical error means that her implant is not replaced on time, so she gets pregnant during her affair with Earl White Haven.

Madavi never mentions taking the herb after she starts having sex with Smador; he made sure to only sleep with her when she wasn't 'in heat' and so assumed they'd be in the clear (they're both quite young and know very little about reproduction). They find out that biology doesn't quite work like that when Madavi does indeed get pregnant.

The only illegitimate children come from marriages where one partner is sterile, and the term "bastard" is a lot more insulting for Dragaerans than for humans. This helps enforce the Fantastic Caste System since while short-term relationships between members of different Houses are not unknown, they almost never produce offspring and are illegal, and when they do, they are shunned and houseless.

Fantasy Contraception / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: There are some references in the novels and side materials about Nanny Ogg both serving as a midwife and providing aid to girls who are pregnant but don't want to be. As she is shown to be a competent herbalist, it's apparent that an abortifacient is implied. Several other witches have been shown or mentioned trading in aphrodisiacs and contraceptives, allowing people to "sow their wild oats while ensuring crop failure, if you know what I mean...". Nanny's cheerful attitude towards sex means that she is most commonly associated with this sort of business, but in her first appearance, even Granny Weatherwax set up a shop dealing such potions while in Ankh-Morpork. There is also mention of girls having to be "good at counting" to avoid pregnancy, which could refer to timing sex to your menstrual cycle — in Real Life, a very chancy method, but in a place where belief shapes reality, perhaps not as much. Pennyroyal is mentioned several times. It is a genuine abortifacient, though not a particularly safe one, as it can cause haemorrhaging. Regular contraception also exists, however; it is stated several times that without Mr. Sonky, and the rubber product named after him, Ankh-Morpork's housing shortage would be even worse. Terry Pratchett is actually quite proud that he could include a condom factory in Anhk-Morpork because it grounds the city and its culture firmly in reality. You could never get away with that in Middle-Earth.

Fantasy Contraception / int_58e15212	comment	Axis of Time, in the 21st century, women can receive an implant that can be controlled via a tablet and provides 100% contraception until such time as they choose to deactivate it or it stops working on its own (it has a finite life). Julia Duffy's implant is nearing its life, and she fears having a child, so she initiates the implant's final function, which permanently sterilizes her. When her husband finds out, they have a big fight over it, followed by a divorce. Then he dies in a plane crash... maybe. Since then, she becomes a mess, drinking and screwing her way through the war, regretting her decision and blaming herself for his death. She finally gets better when she starts to go steady with Prince Harry.

It's moderately expensive and therefore not available to most people — but most player characters in Exalted don't have any problem making the big bucks. And large doses can induce abortions, very large doses can render a character permanently sterile. There's also a Merit in the Player's Guide that allows one complete control of one's own fertility.

All girls and hermaphrodites are given a birth control implant upon reaching puberty, and only have it temporarily "switched off" when they earn a childbearing certificate (women are only allowed two children). As it also keeps a woman from having a period, nobody seems to mind. Cordelia has hers removed entirely after marrying Aral Vorkosigan (Barrayaran medical science being a couple generations or more behind Beta Colony's) and becomes pregnant almost immediately.

Fantasy Contraception / int_629cd094	comment	Although it's not really an issue in-game (with one major exception for female characters in a romance with Alistair), Grey Wardens in Dragon Age: Origins are apparently sterile (or practically sterile). The darkspawn taint apparently has an impact on the character's vigor; Morrigan in particular mentions some rather lurid tales about the Grey Wardens' fabled endurance. Word of God states that Grey Wardens can conceive with a normal person (though the chances of success are notably reduced) and produce completely healthy offspring, but a pair of Wardens together is all but sterile. The prequel novel Dragon Age: The Calling has the newly-recruited Duncan being approached by a young female mage who wants to test out the rumors of the Grey Wardens' endurance. In the same novel, a female Grey Warden conceives a child from King Maric who is named Alistair. Dragon Age II doesn't really address the issue, though Hawke is a normal human and only one of the love interests (Anders) is a Grey Warden. Though Sebastian has taken a vow of chastity and Isabela is implied to be infertile. Wynne mentions that mages seldom have babies by accident because "there are ways to prevent it". However, considering that Wynne herself had an "oops" baby once, their contraception methods aren't 100% effective. (Fans like to speculate on how, exactly, this works. Some note that there's actually a spell called "Barrier"...)

Fantasy Contraception / int_6c39a620	comment	Ascendance of a Bookworm: People with significantly different Mana levels can't have children with each other, making Uptown Girl situations quite rare. There are twists to this, however: Having a much higher or much lower quantity of mana in regard to one's own family is far from being unheard of. Those with significantly high levels of mana compared to the rest of their family have a chance of marrying up. Those with significantly low levels of mana compared to the rest of their family are put up for adoption in the lower classes, made servants in their own household or sent to the temple, which means that those not sent to the temple will be marrying down compared to what their lineage should have allowed for. In the temple, people of noble birth with extremely low mana cohabitate with commoners raised to be their attendants. People are forbidden to marry, but the discrepancy in status between masters and attendants means that sex still happens, usually without the attendant's consent. Child by Rape happens frequently enough that up until some time before Myne took over as orphanage director, the pre-baptism orphans were being cared for by former Sex Slave attendants who had been dismissed for getting pregnant by their masters. Someone who is both female and a Mage Born of Muggles runs the risk of becoming a Breeding Slave for the Supernatural Elite.

A female version is also quite common, as are mentions of contraceptive potions for either sex. Subverted in at least one fic. Ginny states that the reason she's pregnant again (she has as many children as Molly) is because she would rather raise all the children God gives her than use contraception potions which taste awful. And subverted in another fic, where they discover that since both Harry and Ginny were Parseltongues (she got it from her experience in Chamber of Secrets), they are both extremely fertile and no amount of spells or potions will keep them from conceiving. The only thing that works? Muggle condoms. And even THAT'S not foolproof, they do break once. Face The Strange has the castâ€™s form of birth control be a spell that turns semen into water.

Fantasy Contraception / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire uses tansy tea relatively realistically: as an abortifacient, not a contraceptive. It is used in one character's backstory to terminate an unwanted pregnancy ("unwanted" in the sense of politically inconvenient to the mother's family; she herself very much wanted to keep the baby). It's strongly implied that there are in fact unpleasant side-effects, as after her abortion the character in question has several stillbirths and eventually one underweight, sickly child, suggesting that the herb permanently affected her ability to bear children. The trope is played straighter with "moon tea," which includes tansy as just one of its ingredients and appears to work as a relatively safe and effective Plan B contraceptive with few (if any) side effects.

This turns out to be notably plot-relevant in a few of the books. On one occasion, the lack of an amulet is what the viewpoint character notices, because it was very relevant to the situation he and his client were in. Also relevant to the plot, as her already being pregnant helped set a crime in motion. Later in the series, use of amulets allows Singe the ratwoman to suppress her breeding cycle, which is essential for her independence as ratpeople are very prolific if Nature is allowed to take its course.

Authors make mention of characters not only using traditional birth control methods like condoms and pills (and variants on the latter like wafers or potions) but implanted contraceptive lacrimas or wearable anti-fertility charms that may be removed if the user changes his/her mind, the use of area-effect enchantments to create suppression fields, the "humans and Celestial Spirits can't breed" explanation — most of which also serve to prevent the spread of STDs. Frequently, however, if characters who have sex are mentioned as using any of the above, there exists a magic type or set of extraordinary circumstances that will override the contraceptive in question.

Grand Maester Mellos brings one such to Rhaenyra in "King of the Narrow Sea". If Rhaenyra drinks it, that's an admission she had sex; if she doesn't, that would bolster her innocence but risks pregnancy. The scene ends there without seeing what she decides. In the books, it's called "moon tea". It's implied to be a very early-term abortifacient to be taken preemptively, weeks before a period or lack thereof confirms or denies pregnancy. While in this case it's handwaved, there's some acknowledgement of the idea that it's not perfect when Mellos says it has to be prepared very carefully, and otherwise it can be either ineffective or dangerous. In " The Lord of the Tides", Aegon Targaryen rapes Dyana, a servant at the Red Keep. Aegon's mother Alicent has such a tea brought to Dyana to ensure a bastard of Aegon won't be born out of this.

This bit of worldbuilding is used to explain the skewed population ratios between the adults and children of the Hooligan tribeâ€”during the Dragon War and the conflict with the dragon nest, it was very hard for Hooligan women to bring babies to term; this is why Hiccup was seen as so precious by Stoick, why Hiccup's cadre has only six teenagers in a tribe of hundreds of people, and why the tribe is so accepting of outsiders: because they need immigration to keep their numbers up. The information about the quills is a closely held secret by the Hooligan healers out of fear of people misusing them and getting the dosage wrong, which would be lethal. This is pretty much inverted from the situation in the books (see Literature).
