If you have sex, you have to accept the fact that there is a chance you can get pregnant.
The fact that there are human beings out here who want to decouple "sex" from "pregnancy" just utterly disgusts me.
Forget the religious shit - having full, penetrative intercourse with a man is LITERALLY inviting a person INTO your body. It is the absolute closest you can ever get to another person, physically.
Before you do that, you absolutely should think about if they are the type of person you want leaving fluids inside you. Forget if those fluids create a baby - do you want that absolute stranger's bodily fluids INSIDE your body?
Having sex is fun, pleasurable, and can be beautiful - it's also dirty, messy, and comes with a heavy responsibility (not even including pregnancy).
I am TIRED of that being ignored. I'm tired of seeing women encouraged to neglect themselves and invite just any random protrusion into themselves - they should be holding themselves far more precious, and that is WITHOUT religious connotation.
If you're not important to yourself, you can't expect others to treat you as if you're important to them. Because at the end of the day, all you have is you. You are the one who's always going to be there, and everyone else will leave.
If you don't want to risk being pregnant with someone's child, don't invite them into your body. It is that easy. If they leave because you wouldn't, then they weren't worth it in the first place.
