Sooo...if you don't ever want kids, you should never, never, ever have s*x?

Question

In nature, s*x is a requirement for the survival of the species. For humans, s*x also comes along with an enjoyment and sometimes a spiritual, emotional connection. So for humans, it's just something that they do, most times without the desire to reproduce.

But for those humans who don't want ever want to reproduce, should they deny themselves the other pleasures of a sexual relationship? Just in case, to avoid an unwanted pregnancy?

Yes, we have technology today like condoms and birth control, but what about those women who prefer not to put man-made, harmful chemicals that could have long-term negative effects in their bodies, along with the possibility of a condom breaking? Lots of people are having responsible s*x, but sometimes things happen.

Are these women, who in the event of becoming pregnant may choose to end the pregnancy, completely void of morals in your eyes? And people now are saying that having more kids is harmful to the earth, there are lots of children still in need of homes, we are having food shortages, and looking at the economy the chances of becoming prosperous are becoming more and more slim.

I'm not saying that abortion is a good thing, but do you think it is always a selfish act, every time?

Answer 1

Gals should get their tubes tied, Guys a vasectomy (as I did) if that is their attitude.

Answer 2

Its usually guys that take advantage of this. But if the couple just wants it for the enjoyment use a condom or have the girl take a pill.

Answer 3

there are a lot of things you need cleared up:

1) if a woman never wants children she can get her tubes tied.  and i agree that the pill can harm women in the long run.  but if you understand that abortion is murder, than you understand there is no reason to do it.  find a way to not get pregnant.

2) no one is saying women who have abortions are void of morals.  i think the abortion industry is at fault.  think about it, the abortion industry makes money off of unwanted pregnantcies.  the whole basis for there existence undermines women's power by telling women that if they aren't married and they have a baby there life will be over.  

3) there is no food shortage, there is unequal food distribution.  think of how much food restaurants, hospitals, and normal households waste.  think of how much grain is given to cattle for americans to eat when that grain should be going to developing countries.  we need to change the way food is distributed globally, not abort children so that there are less people to feed.

Answer 4

I agree with you. However, bottom line is you use protection or practice "pulling out" and hoping for the best.

Answer 5

you need family planning

Answer 6

How silly is this line of reasoning?

Think about it.

Answer 7

No and no.  Abortion is not always selfish - I don't find using my loofah to remove dead skin cells selfish and therefore I don't find removing a small cluster of cells from my uterus selfish either.  As for s*x, yes, as a person who does not want to bring a child into this f*cked up world I feel that I still should enjoy s*x.  I use birth control and condoms for my safety.  I don't think that someone else's morals should be thrust upon me.  I don't forbid some religious zealots from having 15 children and being an AR senator so they should not forbid me from not having children.  

Answer 8

Ok clearly, well judging by your picture at least, you are no stranger to s*x. I think that even if you do not want kids, you can enjoy s*x, however, repeats of abortions are not ok. A first abortion is not ok, you need to give that child, that soul a chance to live, not punish it for your mistake!!

Answer 9

I don't want children, so I take precautions. I doubt that I'll stop having s*x for fear I might get pregnant. If I got pregnant, I would not have an abortion. Every action has it's consequence. Abortion probably is a selfish act, but I'm not one to tell people what to do with their body, especially if I'm not willing to step up and take that unwanted child.

Answer 10

there are often special circumstances.. the thing the parent must give the most thought to is not to their own convenience, but to how the life of the child would be. it's not selfish to give up a child because its life is guaranteed to be horrible.

Answer 11

No pull out.

Answer 12

"but do you think it is always a selfish act, every time?"

Always.
