Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rhythm method requires couples to abstain from sex during the fertile period of the menstrual cycle, which can cause psychological stress and anxiety about the possibility of pregnancy. This can be a major disadvantage for couples who struggle with abstinence or heightened anxiety. The other answer choices are incorrect: A is incorrect because a high success rate would be an advantage, not a disadvantage. B is incorrect because the independence it gives to the woman could be seen as an advantage or a disadvantage depending on the individual couple's preferences. D is incorrect because adhering to the requirements of the menstrual cycle is not necessarily easy, especially for irregular cycles or for those who have difficulty tracking their fertility.
