    I love when this post/thought pops up because it just outs people who have no idea how pregnancy works.

      What about this is not how pregnancy works, exactly?

        Mostly the “every night” part. There are only about 6 days a month when women can get pregnant iirc. And unless she’s getting a random train of dudes, there’s pretty significant diminishing returns on repeated loads (not that they hurt, mind you). It’s just kind of a childish comparison.

          I don’t see how that means they don’t know how pregnancy works. Yeah, you could track it, or you could just cover all possibilities.

          If you are trying to be efficient about it and/or are having difficulties. For the majority of people, forgoing birth control and doing it every other day is more than enough to get pergnant.

          Well that’s complicated. A LOT of people who can get pregnant don’t have regular cycles, don’t have predictable ovulation, don’t know or have all the regular signs of ovulation, etc, that make tracking fertile periods tough. They are also people who bleed during ovulation, or have sporadic bleeding throughout their cycle, or bleed frequently from sex, all of which can confound predicting ovulation.

          To compound that, sperm can live up to 5 days in the receivers reproductive tract extending a typical ovulation period to 11 days. https://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/sperm-and-semen-faq

      “people”, in this instance, are evidently you, which is ironically why we need more than half-assed sex ed

        What’s genuinely wrong with this for real though? I’m very confused. I have more than enough sex education.

        Responded above but mostly the “every night” bit. That’s not how cycles work. Not saying a woman can’t be getting constant creampies but that’s not exactly automatic when someone is trying for a baby.

    You say: We aren’t trying for a baby, but we’re not avoiding it either.

    I hear: I’m off my birth control and we’re raw-dogging like 5 times a day.

    And when they do get pregnant I’m the asshole for saying “congratulations on your successful ejaculation!”

    Socially acceptable, How about this song from the classy 1920s:

    "Oh I got nipples on my titties the size of my thumb

    I got sumthin’ between my legs that’ll make a man cum"

    I don’t remember the last rest of the lyrics but damn what a banger

    I swear I’ve seen people say stuff like this seriously, is this actually what some people think?

    I don’t like kids, but you see some odd reactions from people these days, like on /r/Childfree.

    Disliking children is not a personality.

      This has nothing to do with disliking kids. It’s just poking fun at how we euphemise things sometimes.

      On another note, I really fucking hate kids lol. I’m so glad I’ll never have them. How much I loathe them is nowhere near how obnoxious people get about their kids. They make them their whole personality way more than I ever will make being child free mine.

      I saw someone describe it as “anti-natalist” which i feel is way more apt. Don’t want kids? Child free. Hate people for having children/make up strawmen to grind an axe all the time about it? You’re anti-natalist.

        Anti-natalism is the belief that it’s immoral to bring in new sentient beings into the world and isn’t inherently bad to be, I’m sure most of them don’t attack people who have kids constantly.

          This.

          People don’t have kids because they ponder the possibility of creating a new person. (They exist, but they’re the rare exception.) They have kids because they want the minime or the cute thing, and are not thinking about the angsty horny teen that toddler will become, or the struggling adult getting abused by The Man. (Unless the family is rich, in which case, how dare the brat have a personality, or is LGBT+ or wants to do theater rather than take over the business)

          And then, my kid (by blood) and grandson (by marriage) are going to face a massive global population correction in their lives which will shape their entire lives the way Dresden affected Vonnegut. I love them both and am jolly sorry they are just going to have to deal.

          I also get the drive to breed is compulsory. The baby machine has been honed across eons of evolution to overwhelm resistance. Those who can go childfree, I encourage to do so. But those who do have children, even in a society that disregards them, I get it, and figure we should spoil them as much as we can.

          Ah I guess the terms have become somewhat conflated then. Either way, there are definitely large swaths of the child free crowd that are incredibly hostile to parents and children.

            I think in both cases, a line gets crossed when people start hating the kids themselves. I’m not talking about having an aversion-- some of them genuinely hate kids. Even if I believed it were an atrocitious act to bring children into this world, even if I were to find children unpleasant(1), it’s not the kids’ fault.

            (1) Oh hi! 👋 You saw my footnote! Just wanted to make clear I’m talking about a hypothetical person here. I personally like kids and don’t find them unpleasant. Just making sure you know that so we don’t start a pointless argument. Have a fantastic day!

      Thank you for saying that. I loathe the child free people, and I don’t have kids. They’re all so stringent!

    I just like that someone is getting laid every night and that is part of their best life. In fact, I assumed the hot messy creampie woman is managing her fertility as she sees fit.

    Also jizz is totally a drug. Dopemine, I think.

      And yet the doctor tells me I have to stop snorting jizz because it’s “bad for my lungs”. Like, ok narc smh

        That raises some good questions about how to best absorb dopamine from jizz. I suspect anally is super-effective.

        Inhalation of nebulized jizz probably less so, but worth a try.
