Well, my friend's mother told her once,

"Don't ever have sex with someone you wouldn't mind waking up married to."

I think that was in reference to the idea that if you are going to do a deed that could result in something as significant as a baby, you want to be really choosy about it.

There is nothing you can do sexually that will absolutely guarantee you will never get pregnant.

I wish more people could fully understand this, and make their choices accordingly.

Guys who want their gf's to go on the pill need to know that, in 87% of women, hormonal birth control causes a big drop in sex drive. That can last for years after she stops taking it.

Some other methods are more effective, and don't mess up your sexual compatibility!

Another point, just because a couple is married, doesn't mean they want a kids. It's common for married couples to use abortion clinics too. A couple might already have kids and not be able to afford another.

"The resulting figures shocked NAF President Vicki Saporta, who called to tell me that every year since 2008, a whopping 72 percent of NAF clients looking to terminate a pregnancy were already mothers" Most surprising abortion statistic: The majority of women who terminate pregnancies are already mothers. - Slate Magazine

I stopped using the pill after trying multiple and discussing with my gyn. They all murdered my sex drive. The mirena has hormones, but like other women I know who used it, it didn't hurt my sex drive. I'm surprised it isn't more popular over here.

Guess what they use to chemically castrate repeat child sexual offenders?

Depo-provera.

Fine. But then I don't want to hear them crying when they have to pay child support.

It's amazing how easily men can disappear and not have to pay. I currently know two guys who left the country to avoid paying child support.

How do their friends react? How would those same friends react if the woman left the country, and left the baby on the guy's doorstep?

We're married and have been for the last 15yrs. We also have 4 children but we had ALWAYS used 2 forms of birth control until we were ready to add to the family. He had a vasectomy a few years ago, but I still don't trust that 100%.

Just because someone is married or in a long-term relationship/commitment doesn't mean that they want to have a child.
