Actually, it did at that time. That, *plus* birth control pills.
But there was always the possibility of rape, which she was paranoid about at the time. Something about having been molested by someone she trusted fairly recently at that time. And she was concerned enough about it to talk to me about it all.
Umm . . . I was being a smart aleck, expecting the answer to be that she was already married at the time. I did briefly consider the possibility that she was single and paranoid about rape, but not in the sense that she had any special _reason_ to be paranoid. My problem is that I don't usually think of such things: I know that they happen, but they're just not something that comes to mind first. Or even second.
A couple of years later, the problem had corrected itself, and she has a daughter now.
That is great!
