My point exactly. Pigeonholed much?

Thoughts?
It's not something they are doing on purpose.
That's the way they are wired.
Biologically, it makes sense. They are the ones with everything to risk if they get pregnant.

Heard of oxytocin?

What are we talking about here? Condoms and the pill are about equally as effective.

I mean serious birth control or tubal ligation.

So the consensus here is that women have more to risk so that's why they form this insatiable emotional attachment?

Remove pregnancy from the equation. Then what?

If there is no need why to sex?

If I want to take up a new sport, it won't be sex, it would be indoor soccer.

I prefer sex with someone I have a strong emotional attachment too, someone I love. For me personally, it is so much better that way. I'm married so it comes pretty easily and whenever I ask.

IF I were single however, I still wouldn't be having sex freely. I don't see how it complicates sex if there is no sex. Maybe that would complicate things for for him but too bad. I'm sure he won't have a problem finding someone else to give up the goodies. I'm just not interested in being used OR using someone for physical pleasure.

I don't have all these hang-ups about porn or him looking...heck I like porn and I look too, but I'm not about to let men use me as a receptacle for their semen.

She was on the pill. And they both can fail.

And FYI - condoms also fail against protection against herpes and warts due to area coverage.

Tubal ligation also fails and has complications:

Tubal ligation: Risks - MayoClinic.com

Like I said: exchanging one set of complications for another.

The pill is a joke. It's as effective as asking a guy to put on a condom.
