Human Sexuality and Reproduction 101

cchrisler · September 2009

If you or DH aren't ok with possibly becoming pregnant, don't have unprotected sex. My (potentially flamable) thought of the day.

I think you're making this up.

JoyousJulia · September 2009

I don't think that's flammable at all. It's just common sense.

*blondiem* · September 2009

Der, genius.

What about the people that are on/using BC that are the 1% or whatever, that do get pregnant?? Should everyone just refrain from having sex all together?

LOL. busted;)

S&D_2005 · September 2009

But I thought a woman couldn't get pregnant if she was on top...you know...because of gravity Wink

OOOH! OOOOH! PICK ME! PICK ME!

Mjmksb04 · September 2009

I ditto that sentiment, but on the other hand I have no problem with people using Plan B.

Settle down. Since no birth control methods (to my knowledge anyways) are 100% effective, you take the measures you can to prevent pregnancy. If it happens it happens, deal with it then. But not taking ANY measures whatsoever to prevent it doesn't sound like someone who wants to avoid pregnancy. Thats all I'm saying

Agreed. And I don't need settling. I was just asking you a question.

newportbride715 · September 2009

I agree w/ this basic sentiment, but things can happen to anyone who has sex, so I'd never judge or withhold understanding from someone who beomes PG accidentally.

I'm glad, the 'der genious' led me to believe I offended someone.

It should have been "Der, GENIUS!" kind of like "Duh!!!"

TMs1stBaby · September 2009

Thanks for the update. Seriously though, people do make mistakes. They fall victim to sudden lack of will power. I knew I wasn't on BC, and yet, I went on vacation, had too many drinks, thought I was well past my ovulation window and bam! Unplanned pregnancy. Life goes on.

Except a pregnancy that occurs as a result of unprotected sex isn't an accident.

Yes, life does go on. I'm not knocking unplanned pregnancies in general. I'm just personally uncomfortable with the terminating of them because of 'falling victim to a sudden lack of will power' or whatever the situation is.

So, you are okay with unplanned pregnancies so long as they are not terminated. Got it. Lot's of people are uncomfortable with the idea of abortion. This is sort of a round about way of going there.

Yes, exactly. A good percentage of our population were unplanned pregnancies and thats exactly why I'm against the terminating of them I guess. Not really trying to have a pro-life debate or anything but yeah I guess thats what it really is! I'm not saying everyone should 'plan' a pregnancy, just saying they should be aware that if you have sex it can happen so if you don't want to be pregnant dont have unprotected sex.

Seriously, something on here must have sparked this discussion. What was it?

Then again, maybe we wouldn't be in the enviornmental crisis we are in if everyone just terminated their unplanned pregnancies and we only had planned babies

Don't be ridiculous. Of course you are trying to have a pro-life debate. Or at the very least, you are trying to make a pro-life statement and have people rally around you. Saying that you aren't trying to stir people either to your cause or rile up a debate smacks of either delusion or a head injury.

And really, since the rest of your argument is basically "Don't want to be pregnant? Suck it up, whiner," you aren't preaching protected sex. You're preaching no sex, even within marriage, unless you are prepared to raise another child.

If that's your stance, fine. But don't pretend otherwise. Even to yourself.

ITA with LF. I don't really get the point of this whole thread though. Do you just not want to hear people biitch about getting KU when they didn't mean to?

Brookie-Cookie · September 2009

For the record, I was all thumbs uppy when I thought it was a post agains people whining about if they were pg or not after having unprotected sex. My thumbs up have nothing to do with anything about a pro-life debate. I am staunchly pro choice

Hippinski · September 2009

So...are you of the same mindset as punk and think that women who medically can not carry another baby to term should have their uterus removed to avoid any chance that they might get pregnant? Just wondering.

No, I think she is in the mindset that if you don't want to get pregnant you should use proper protection and not just wing it and hope for the best and then whine for 2 weeks about maybe being pg.

Quit reaching.

Hippinski · September 2009

Brookie-Cookie:

So were Lori & Totty reaching too? Because they pretty much got the same thing from reading this thread as I did. Or at least that's what it seemed like. It looks like the OP is saying that you shouldn't have sex unless you are prepared to raise a child that could result from having said sex.

That's what the original post seemed to say, but as she goes on, it's reached a place of "If you have sex, realize you could have kids, and if that happens, you better f$^%ing bring them to term and raise them."

My point was entirely that where she started wasn't where she was ending up. I could go with her on not being shocked if you have unprotected sex and wind up pregnant. Where she's gone from there? Um, heII no.

No, I'm not saying you shoudnt have sex within marriage unless you plan on getting pregnant, I'm saying if you have sex and don't take ANY precaution don't complain about it or complain about maybe feeling g

That is my main intention with the post, obviously supported by my pro-life stance. My opinion.

Around my cause? I dont have a cause I'm stating how I feel which is if you take NO measures to prevent pregnancy, dont complain when you get knocked up. Simply said.
