Should women be more proactive regarding contraception?

[Laize]

You can't at all, but hey. Whatever makes someone feel better about not being able to get laid.

(This has been my shallow response for the month. Stay tuned in August for another riveting session!)

Really? Anyone who lacks the desire to fuck anything that moves is simply someone who can't get laid?

You're how old now? Because in the real world, adults can make choices without giving a shit about social pressure.

Takes two to tango.

Well played, sir. Well played

Doesn't change the fact that, besides being used in the past to prove the Pope was in fact male, they have no use whatsoever nowadays. (Officially, at least. I doubt he doesn't go around enjoying the fine top-class prostitutes of Rome)

I thought they had altar boys for that(mandatory priest joke).

Don't have sex before marriage.
1-Your parents will thank you
2-Society won't be able to call you a whore (unless you go wrong afterwards)
3-You won't have accidental pregnancies, people get pregnant when they're married, that's pretty expected and accepted
4-Your husband may thank you

Alright wow. This is completely sexist and an absolutely disgusting and ignorant comment.

1) It's YOUR bodies not your parents. Your parents should be thankful that they brought you up responsibly if anything.
2) Society shouldn't be able to call you a whore to begin with. Once again, your bodies not theirs. Shouldn't be judgmental about it, especially when the "whore" part is being inherently directed at the female.
3) It's our sex education systems, or lack thereof which fails people and doesn't fully educate them and inform them of all their options and how to properly handle situations. In most cases we say exactly what you're saying "Just don't do it" and look the other way, which is the EXACT reason why we have such high un-expected pregnancy rates. What if you want to have a child out of wedlock too? If you're fully capable of having and supporting a child and want to, why not?
4) You are extremely sexist. Why should your husband ever thank you for this? You could have at least said "Husband/wife" or "Spouse may thank you", but this idea is outdated, ridiculous, and disgustingly sexist. Men don't have to save themselves for women, so why should women have to save themselves for men? It's a double standard, and one which should not exist. Sex should be had to enjoy, but safely.


That being said;

Yes, women need to be more proactive.

It's simple. The pill is not for everyone. In order for the pill to be it's maximum effectiveness it needs to be taken everyday at the same. exact. time. Not when you feel like it. Not when you remember it, but same time every day. Or else you leave room for error. It's also a plan that should NOT be used with non-monogomous partners, or partners you're not sure about their sexual health. Why? Doesn't protect from STI's.

There are other forms of birth control which remove the human error aspect but are more invasive, but are less talked about because we don't talk enough about sex ed or make it taboo.

Now even if girls don't want to take a form of birth control themselves, as one may understand, they should be more proactive in the carrying and possession of condoms. See now the problem is, as a societal whole we label these girls, much like the above quoted poster would, a "Whore" or a "slut", for being sexually comfortable, and control of their bodies. Slut shaming. Now a guy doing that would face no such accusations. We chastise girls like these for being responsible when in fact they are being in control and proactive just as they should be. Equal parts, if you will.

It's hard to say if one should be more responsible than the other. It should be equal parts but the female should be constantly on top of her options as she has more than her male counterpart.

You're how old now? Because in the real world, adults can make choices without giving a shit about social pressure.

You realize that most of what you said was not only completely out of a non contextual vacuum, but you're making sweeping generalizations about a world which your inept calculating abilities do not represent in the slightest.

You could take your fictitious formula for sexual risk and apply it to anything and not make a single advancement forward in life. You could take my clearly labeled shallow response and edit it to say "Whatever makes someone feel better about never trying anything new" and it would still completely apply while your unrelated, bitter response would still be totally irrelevant.

"Fuck anything that moves?" Really, dude. While your not exactly the ViP in this thread, I'd like to think most of your posts at least try to be on topic and well thought out. This one just made you seem like a cornered dog, barking off the first thing that came to your mind when no one was attacking you in the first place.

Women should be on contraceptive of their own.

But that does not make not using a condom okay. Condoms help prevent STDs, birth control pills or whatever else never will.


And ignore the people saying you have to wait for marriage. Times are changing and these are old geezers or idiots. For starters, not having sex out of wedlock was started by the Bible. Religion isn't as widespread as it once was, and not everyone is religious anyway.

Also, when such rules were made, people were often married by 13 or 14 years old anyway.
