Sperm is the problem
Inspired by Gabrielle Blair's book, Ejaculate Responsibly, sperm is fertile 24/7 whereas an egg is fertile for 12-24 hours per month. This means that an egg is only a part of the pregnancy equation 2-3% of the year.
Plan V wants to shift the trend toward preventing pregnancy at it's primary source: sperm
