Venting Sex seems like a trap for procreation.

[Darkover]

It feels good, and most people enjoy it, but the reality is that many pregnancies aren't even planned. If we were formed with a button we could turn on and off for when we're ready for a child, I think the population wouldn't be nearly as high as it is today. People crave the pleasure of sex, but that desire often leads to something that wasn't exactly planned or wanted. I think the desire for kids comes second to the desire for sex itself.

 

[Freebandzgang]

Its an instinct most humans have. We evolved to enjoy it so people (a long time ago) would have more offspring. If no one enjoyed it the population would have died a long long time ago. But now with the knowledge and technology we have it is being used as more of a "pleasure tool" than to procreate. People just do it now because it feels good, not because they want kids (which is the reason it feels good). Its natures way of keeping the human race alive.

Procreation decided on rational thought alone is unlikely which is why, for the survival of our species, the decision has to be contaminated by feelings such as desire and pleasure.

Also, in a way, everything that keeps us alive is a trap for procreation. You need to be alive and of mature age to reproduce.

 

[Halfhourdays]

Should there be a license to reproduce?

 

[Ijustcantanymore]

There is a good quote from a character named Callisto from Xena:

"Love? Love is a trick that nature plays to get us to reproduce".

Thank fuck I never had kids.
Best life decision I ever made.
Im basically celibate now anyway so no little accidents for me.

 

[Surai]

In everything I find to be the cause of my decisions. Im finding an animal sitting within waiting to jump at the opportunity of being an animal. It makes me depressed that this animal is actually sitting in the chair And Im the observer

Same, ditto, can relate.

Glad depression and anxiety killed my sex drive.

In America for sure

 

[LostinParadise]

In America for sure

Sadly yes.

There's an immense pressure for WHITE people to reproduce though of course that's a very expensive thing in a country with no health service and almost no social safety nets.

If I were starting life over I would not want to risk pregnancy or a child, and frankly, as someone who has raised a child who had every opportunity and now acts like an entitled jerk, it's not even a very long-term fulfilling endeavor.

 

[NonEssential]

I'll be dying as a lonely virgin, but fortunately I'll never have to deal with problems regarding pregnancy and abortion.

sometimes, i hope it could ba like this. but after deep thinking about that topic, it will be too dangerous...

eduction of everybody and anticapitalist values (take care of each other, cnsciouness to be dependant of others, priority of the group interest on individual) seem the better solution, i think

 

[Goodfornothingbish]

Yup that's true but now the are trying to force everyone. Considering roe v wade.

Oh. What did you child do?

you can be sterilize if you are determined and are not in a "dumb" country !

 

[Still here]

I've been thinking about this lately it's true that most people crave sex rather than children but no matter what I have strongly decided never to bring children in this hellish existence...

 

[Halfhourdays]

Booby trap backwards spells party boob.

 

[divinemistress36]

One good thing about getting older I dgaf about sex anymore and it makes me sick how people use each other for it and do terrible things to get it

 

[LostinParadise]

What did you child do?

He's an adult now, in age anyway. I was sympathetic to his problems for the last decade but now it's all too much for me, and he's been increasingly abusive, I just can't take any more.

Im sorry

 

[WatchmeBurn]

I want to get a vasectomy as soon as I can afford it. Even if I did want kids (I do not under any circumstances) I wouldn't want to pass on my genetic issues and I'd rather adopt.

I heard that vasectomy is relatively cheap, but reverting it back is much more expensive

 

[EvisceratedJester]

Wouldn't that partly be on you since you were the one raising them?

 

[Namelesa]

Well I can avoid that trap by just having sex with other penis people (as I am more attracted to them) and no procreation will happen as I am a trans woman mwahahaha.
Also when I get surgery to remove my balls I can have sex with anyone I want while not causing procreation mwahahaha

 

[WatchmeBurn]

Yeah and it might not work. You have to assume that vasectomy = permanent.

 

[LostinParadise]

You'd think, except that'snot the way I raised him.

But thank you for your immensely unsupportive comment!

Im sorry

Thanks.

It's not been easy, now I feel like I've done all I can and the best thing now is to leave the planet and he'll get a small insurance policy and maybe the shock of my death will wake him up to himself.

 

[Jimmy.]

It's not as easy to conceive as some think. There's only a few days a month where it's possible.

Passing on issues is a real problem. I've seen first hand deeply troubled kids where on closer examination the parents are just good at masking. I've seen anxiety, ADHD, Autism and dyslexia etc all massively amplified in children.

Whatever you have to tell yourself...

I know its hard. But please if you are thinking that your death will do anything. Or your goal is for some grand reaction, please reconsider. You're life is too precious to waste on a what if scenario. I hope that if you are ctb, it's for you. I hope you find peace in any way

I love my son, despite his recent behavior, and I can't see that I will be happy if he's in prison/on the streets/suffering.

I've tried so hard to help, this is the last thing I can do now.

Whatever you have to tell yourself...

Wonder what kind of burden/blessing you are in someone else's life?

Compassion costs nothing.
