(Please disregard my earlier flame on this subject, if you read it.)
Well, people seem to want to be "swept away", to be irresponsible--even, in
the women's case, to themselves. Remember Erica Jong and ziplessness. All
too often, if people have to stop and think about what they're doing, they
don't do it at all. 

I've also tried to think of movies where birth control was used, and "Summer
of 42" was the only one I could think of (and there it was introduced as "what
every Man carries in his wallet" and what kids are embarrassed to buy). There
are a few movies featuring unwanted pregnancy though....
