When I hear "natural method" I think of finding out the woman's menstrual cycle and figuring out when it's safest to copulate with the least fear of conception... But love does strange things to people. If he's hooked enough to put up with what he is asking about, leave him be, I say. Right now that would be a "no way!" warning flag to me for romantic involvement, but if it doesn't come up before the person falls for the other with that mindset, what are you to do?

And in a case you just described.. It spells total disaster for me. That is why I suggest LM to find out what exactly would he be in for, should he marry this girl.

Popularly known as Gambling with hormones on the Catholic roulette wheel. It's about as reliable as telling teenagers not to have sex.
EDIT: bad quoting.

And Madam, you know that most Polish people use anticonception anyway! So aren` you exagerating a bit about living in middle ages? I don`t like the fact that you are creating such a bad image of Poland on this board.

LM,
Didn't know you are Polish. Off the subject though:
I have a friend from NY whose Granddad was from Poland. Every time he became pissed off or angry at my friend he would say, "What's wrong with you, what are you, a Slav?" (At first, I though he always called him a slob). Can you elaborate on this, as I have yet to receive an explanation?

Well, i don`t understand, as he had a Slav ancestor himself! Are some immigrants ashamed to say they are of Polish decscend? Do you Americans know that it was thanks to Polish social movement and Polish Pope that Cold War has ended. Not to mention our resistance during 2 WW.... We deserve some respect, fortunately Bush always highlighted USA alliance with Poland.

The poles, amongst others, were sold out by Churchill and FDR at Yalta. Should have listened to Patton-he wanted to steamroll Stalin right into the ground!

If we'd done that we'd all be calling each other comrade right now. Russia would have obliterated us.

Being an iconoclast for shear shock value rather than reason is never defensible.
That being said,
The US/UK had the liberated Europe, Poles, Lithunaians, Yugoslavs, Baltic states, and who knows, maybe even the Germans in a fight against Stalin (don't think they were too happy being carved in two). Most importantly, and rather more ominously, they also had a little thing called a hydrogen bomb.
I think you the type who would being calling others "comrade" no matter the outcome.

All sides took the decision of least conflict, which after years of blowing each other to smitherines was the probably the best one for everyone.

The Soviets did most damage after a failed German invasion against a Germany fighting a war on two fronts. The US was also singularly focused on wartime production. Nice books, you've been reading. Check the dates: VE was in May, VJ was in August. They had the bomb long before, and in time for a drop on Red Square.
Least conflict for who? The poles, lithuanians, yugoslavs, and others in the baltic states who were massacred? (Oh yes, they are not included in your everyone).
Don't even discuss MacArthur's ideas for China.
Again, stop reading Putin's school boy history book.

So we'd have had a slow steady nuclear destruction of everyone, including Poland, rather than occupation. Sounds like a fine way to save european lives to me.
Furthermore, starting another war straight away would have cast America as the aggressor, which looks kind of bad when you've been capitalising on europes conflict beforehand. Little chance of their allies in europe assisting them in warmongering after that.
Short version: Lots of people dies as a result of the decision that was reached, a hell of a lot more would have died if we'd sallied forth into yet another conflict. ergo, best choice of a bad bunch of options.

How quickly you change tact and ammend your argument.
Germany established bases in the winter war in Finland, as Finland holding back the russians, wanted to see Stalin defeated. The Fins also had a successful airforce and airbases. They pushed the frontline further south than the current border. anywhere in Finland seems like a great place to launch some bombers to St. petersburg and moscow to me. Where does nuclear devastation of Poland come from in your world? Do you just make these things up? Capitalising on conflict beforehand? Churchill had to come to the US and grovel before congress just to get basic aid shipments, and again for arms.
