The MAP is really the same medication as the birth control pills with just stronger dosing instructions. I can't imagine not having birth control pills.
As far as birth control promoting promiscuity it most certainly does. If I didn't think I could have tons of safe sex in high school and later in college I probably wouldn't have had as much sex as I did. If each sexual act presented a real genuine risk of pregnancy I'd probably have been far less willing to put myself in that sort of danger. But with birth control I felt pretty safe more or less to the point that the risk seemed minimal and I took the task of taking birth control and using condoms seriously in order to enjoy the mental comfort of not feeling like sex was going to ruin my life. I believed I could avoid getting knocked up before I was ready, I had good reason to believe I could put trust in the pills, and they worked.
