[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really, unless he's over 40 and dating women who don't want more (or any) kids. Most women date because they eventually want to get married and have kids.

What will happen is that it just won't be worth it for women to have sex with men until the men commit to a long term relationship which may produce children. [/quote]

You can tell this an old person board. The younger generation really doesn’t fear unwanted pregnancies, the women have been on birth control since HS, etc.[/quote]

Nearly half (41%) of all pregnancies today are still unplanned. The failure rate for the pill is about 92%. Condoms alone are even less effective. I feared an unwanted pregnancy from 19 up on birth control. I am mid 40s. I can still get pregnant. I was off the pill for 48 hours and had an unplanned pregnancy in my mid-30s. A friend got pregnant while on the pill twice (she was not married and very young). I also know an IUD baby. Women still do fear unplanned pregnancies.

I am extremely pro choice, without restriction on abortion whatsoever.

But totally separately, I hate idiots.

The failure rate for the pill is not 92 percent. That’s the success rate. Moreover, in your scenario, you had an obvious failure where you stopped taking the pill for two days. And apparently you had sex during that time and didn’t immediately get the morning after pill when you realized - because otherwise you wouldn’t have ended up with an unplanned pregnancy. I’d say you’re not super responsible with birth control over all. So you’re a good candidate for condoms.

Don’t have sex if you forgot the pill for two days. If you take the pill as instructed, it generally works without pregnancy. If you’re unlikely to remember to take the pill daily, use backup. In 15 years of being on the pill, I only forgot to take it for one two-day period and I instantly realized and went to PP and took the morning after pill. [/quote]
