I’ve never had an abortion. But I’ve had a lot of sex. And when I’ve been asked what my “number” is by friends or lovers, I laughed it off because I hadn’t ever considered counting a complete tally of partners.
But today I realize the privilege that comes with not really knowing how many different men I’ve slept with. That’s because I lived during a time when I was lucky enough to be able to separate my sex life from the rest of me. To put sex into a little box that I only accessed when the time was right. I was not weighed down by fears of pregnancy. I was bolstered by rights that I knew would protect me should things not go as planned.
Now, I recognize that the number of sex partners I’ve had defines an era and a mentality that we are all at risk of losing. I’ve been lucky enough to have slept with at least 17 men in my 41 years of life, and I think it might mean something positive that I’m not sure if there were more.
Why keep track? Because if it doesn’t matter to me, it shouldn’t matter at all. That’s the freedom and privilege of having had access to abortion and contraception for my entire adult life.
Talking about abortion access must come in many forms. This has now become a war, and battles for regaining our constitutional rights as women must become manifest on the streets, on the page, and in conversation.

Wow.
How can that evoke pride
and not shame ?
And no, I disbelieve she hasn’t had an abortion.
Maybe she just doesn’t remember how many.
Depending on how often she got blackout drunk when she was out having fun, the number could be practically anything, and maybe not all men, either. Such freedom.
“Wow.
How can that evoke pride
and not shame ?”
I was hoping you all could tell me.
“And no, I disbelieve she hasn’t had an abortion.”
IF she used contraception and used it responsibly then yes she very well could have avoided having an abortion. That is hard to say.
Sex is used by liberals as acceptance. It is an attention seeking disorder and plays into all aspects of their life. Of all the men I know who are divorced, most were married to a liberal chick.
Wasn’t it Wilt Chamberlain that diddled over 1000? That’s a lot of one flesh to be joined to...
I'm certain her number can be found on a bunch of public bathroom walls.
dear rebecca,
as a man, i have a fair share, myself.
but the abortion issue means nothing tome, and here’s why:
i’m sterile. so, no sons, no daughters, no ex-wives suing me for child support, no Maury Povich paternity test, nothing.
AND I DON’T NEED A VASECTOMY, EITHER!!
Thank you, I was thinking the same thing, but I'm not knocking sluts. I believe prostitution should be legal but kept out of the general public's view like they do in Nevada.
This horny minx could get her jollies and make some good money at the same time while giving desperate men an outlet for their angst. I see this as a win, win, win.
Having sex like a dog in heat is not a positive human attribute.
Is this by Chelsea Handler?
Thats rich coming from the movement that makes a heterosexual man roll the dice on a possible rape charge every time they have sex.
The writer has had lots of sex and not weighed down by the fears of pregnancy. I guess she looked at the calendar a lot and spontaneity didn’t enter into it. I would say there’s lots of women out there who are just sick of us. Fear of getting pregnant or contraception risks are just excuses to not do it.
I often wondered why I never knocked up anyone. Shooting blanks perhaps. Maybe they wanted to make sure they were using some kind of protection because of my shortcomings. I’ll never know.
She’ll get older and no one will want to have sex with her.
She’ll wind up alone with boxed wine and 9 cats.
They act like someone cares how much sex she had. I think they are missing the point.
Unabashed sluts are annoying.
Men and women who live like this do NOT have good end results. They just won’t admit it. She, nor men like her, are not trustworthy at all. It’s all about self, not someone else.
No, it didn’t talk about vodka or getting pissed on...
