Erin phoned me last night in her usual 'people are so fucking stupid' mood. With one leg in the air from my most recent drinking injury, I really have to wonder why she depends on me for a 'normal' opinion.

So here it is:

Unprotected sex.

There. I said it.

Now, with all honesty, how many of you out there have had unprotected sex? I'm betting it's a large number. Society, schools, teachers, health class, etc. tells us unprotected sex is bad.

Honestly though? I see very little wrong with foregoing protection when you are in a serious, monogamous relationship.

I don't mean the pill, or depo or anything like that, I more meant condoms.

To be blunt here, I fucking hate condoms. I only see a need to use them if you are uncertain as to where the second party has been, so to speak. But even then, how many people have had drunken one night stands and just forgotten?

In actuality, condoms are only about 83% effective, after factoring in improper use.

But even as I write this, I am discussing it with Mr. X. He shined a light on a different side of it for me. For all you men out there, how much do you really trust your significant others? They tell you that they're on The Pill, or something to that effect, but is there a niggling little doubt in the back of your mind?

And how many girls out there have inadvertantly said yes to the question "are you on the pill?" when they really meant to say no?

Or you could take a different standpoint altogether. This one pertaining to my last entry. If something is meant to happen, there is nothing you can do to stop it. If you are meant to get pregnant, no condom in the world can protect you, and vice versa.

I read a book not to long ago, about a woman who was trying to concieve. She stated "Had I known it was this hard to get pregnant, I would have had more fun in high school". There is so much bullshit propaganda out there telling us one unprotected encounter will lead to an unwanted pregnancy. In actuality, for most people it is very difficult to get pregnant due to the mass amount of chemicals and hormones found in just about everything today. Now don't get me wrong. To all those impressionable minds out there, I may be completely ass backwards so don't go testing my theory.

But to all you childless, unprotected sex having people out there, you know what I'm talking about.

Re: Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't
i am one that can state the unprotected sex leads to children, i had 4, the last 3 within 16 months of each other, why becasue we thought we couldn't make a baby everytime so why sweat it. everytime he threw his pants onthe bed i was pregnant. It happens more than you think and to bring an unwanted child into this world is an injustice to the baby and to the parents. The other part of unprotected sex is people lie and you will pay for the lies sometimes for the rest of your life and at times with you life. i love sex but not that much. wiht my hubby i haven't had protected sex since we were married, if i ever did any other man he wold have a condom on or he wouldn't get near me, and i would examine him for std before i got near him. it's just not worth it period. but that is just my opinion and i'm an old woman

Re: Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't
16 months - nine months for the baby = 7 months of sexual inactivity? Or 7 months of unprotected sex with your husband without conceiving?  because that kind of proves brandy's point about the overzealous teachings of sexual education.

Re: Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't
no there is a period of time after concieving that you can't get pregnant, normally it's the time of breast feeding of 4 - 5 months, i breast feed all mine, also the first month you don't because of the episeotomy, it has to heal and if you have more than one child you would not believe how often you don't have sex, up all night with the baby & exhausted, but i won't argue the point. i don't think it's over zealous, my opinion. have all the unprotected you want i think it is immature and irresponsible but that too is my opinion. check the rates of std and aides in countries that have unprotected sex...i love life too much to throw it away on one night. it's not just pregnancy.

case in point, my youngest had sex with his girlfriend unprotected. she swore it was her first time and it WAS his. 4 months later he had to be checked for genital warts, nasty STD, you can never trust any one except the one that is devoted to you and then there is still a question

have at it, fuck yourself silly, but we always pay the piper.

Re: Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't
you know what.  You're gonna be mad, but you just said it all.  I couldn't even have added anything to it, brilliant.  And you know that "people are so fucking stupid" 'mood'?  That's not really a mood because mood assumes that it changes.  I always think that.  I love your normal opinions.  Seriously. I want to be the next Kinsey.  There's so many questions I'd love to ask the world but I know there's a lot no one would admit.  I know that because there are questions in your post that ring true for at least me, and I am dying to know everyone else's answers.  Especially for the "are you on the pill?" question.  Except if it was made public, I'm sure guys would just walk around perpetually with a condom already installed onto their penis.  ALthough.. that would eliminate the "awkward search for the condom" problem.  hmm, i love you

Re: Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't
For me, unless I've had a vasectomy or use some other form of highly effective male birth control (there are some out there, though they aren't popular in the US yet) I will always use a condom for intercourse. I would NEVER rely on a woman saying she can't get pregnant. Too many use that line to trap men with a baby, and there also the honest ones that still wind up getting pregnant. Most of the time I simply skip intercourse and have fun with everything else

Re: Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't
Some of us don't say a line to trap people with a baby, some women just think guys are silly and deserve whatever's coming to them for asking us if we're on the pill after he's come in you 16 times.  I mean, hypothetically.

Re: Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't
I've never bothered to ask anyone if they were on the pill or not. I feel if it's important to me that the other person not get pregnant, I'm better off focusing on what I can control to keep it from happening. Basic solutions I've used so far have been: learning taoist techniques that make it near impossible to ejaculate during sex (it's very fun to have someone TRY to make me do so, but still I wouldn't rely on this too much, it's mainly for having sex about as long as one wants), sticking with making out and giving oral, and of course, gay sex is fairly safe as far as pregnancy goes, though I never got another guy to wear a condom and I'm not interested in STDs, so no more men for now.

In studying native americans and ancient greeks on my own and a bit in college I found that gay sex was often used as birth control. Men would solely be with other men until they were ready to have a family. I'll always have a special place in my heart for the polygamous, largely bisexual cultures of old

Re: Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't
Erinbear has a point. I once had a guy ask me "you're on the pill right?" after two months of having sex with me, condomless. Being me, I replied "no, why? should I be?" Of course I couldn't keep a straight face, but you should have seen the look I got.

Message to men everywhere: Ask FIRST!

Re: Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't
I believe if I was out and about having sex the issue would not so much be about pregnancy but what you may get as a result of saying the heck with it and having uprotected sex...I have one friend who died from HIV/AIDS and another that has multiple sclerosis that is a result of her husband having herpes. I think they would both thing condoms were appropriate in their circumstances.

peace and God's blessings,
rod
