Oh look. It’s the cool mom. You have the alcohol too, right?

I predict a friend will one day need to accompany your kid to get Plan B.

DP. Just because you have a bad kid, doesn’t mean that others do.

Your a simple thinker, arent you?

It’s your mirror, sweetie.

Eh, I'm not the one talking about "bad kids."

Some kids are bad. I am wondering why are you trying to deny that…

Anonymous wrote:Somewhat tangential but since we’re discussing talking to kids about sex: we should also talk WAY more about how hard it can be to get pregnant when you want to and how common miscarriages are and how upsetting they can be even if you weren’t sure you wanted the baby. This thread is reminding me of my (inadequate) sex ed that low key convinced me than any sex I had without a condom would inevitably result in pregnancy. Seven months of trying for my first baby was a really upsetting surprise.

Teens are much more fertile than 20 and especially 30yr olds. I mean older teens used to be married and giving birth in the early 1900's and centuries before that mid teens were moms. Our bodies aren't supposed to have many kids starting in the late 20's and 30's. Your eggs are old, sperm are slower.

That’s not true at all! Teenage girls are about as fertile as early 40s women. Pregnancy is possible, but because hormones are still regulating and out of whack, miscarriages and other fertility/genetic problems with fetus are more likely. Peak fertility for women is 20s and early 30s, when the hormones are more balanced.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

I suspect sock puppetry (comdomry?). There can’t be that many ignorant weirdos who think you get pregnant from anal and long for the days of chastity belts.

The trolls who came here to troll the politics board have branched out and apparently have nothing else to do.

I wonder what their kids are doing while they are trolling people on mom and dad message boards, possibly having unmarried sex? I know most of my conservative rural friends did.

So you won’t buy birth control and think only threatening your kids will keep them abstinent. Um ok.

You do realize it works for a lot of kids, right?

It doesn’t AT ALL. They just won’t open up to you or tell you anything. Even when they go to college.

Weird. I waited until I got married at 29.

Ewww lol

You realize you are an anomaly.

DP. How on earth is waiting to have sex an “eww”?? I was in my mid-20s & engaged before having sex. My brothers also weren’t having sex as teens.

Not test driving the car before buying it is not a good practice.

Human beings aren’t cars & shouldn’t be bought. We’ve been together for over 25 years & it has worked out for us.

Times are different now.

Yes they are. But people are exactly the same as they’ve always been.

First, the percentage of teens engaging in sex is significantly lower now than they in 2017 quoted above.

Second, while I've never heard of anal sex resulting in pregnancy, it IS possible to get herpes while using a condom While wearing a condom does reduce the risk of getting herpes, it does NOT eliminate it. https://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/the-facts/genital_herpes_508.pdf I know three people --two female, one male--who got herpes despite using a condom. My understanding is that it is actually more common for a male wearing a condom to be infected by a female than the other way around. However, it can definitely happen both ways. You can also get herpes from oral or anal sex.

Haha! Not even close, Mrs. George.

Yes to BC if your child is biologically female of course.

But to be inclusive, if your child has a penis, and is / may date a person with a penis, you really need to have them on PREP.

Do it now. If your pediatrician is not familiar with PREP, you really need to get a new pediatrician.
