People don't realize that the purpose of sex is to make babies.

If that were true, then women would not need to get sexual pleasure except when they were fertile.

But, you say, continual sexual pleasure in women keeps males happy and makes them more likely to stick around. This may be true, but then the purpose of sex has something more to do than making babies.

Nope, it's not a serial. Mine all say 30cm near the open end and if that was a serial, every number would be different.

Amazing how many letters they can fit along a two inch area these days, huh?

[Larry Lucido]

Should have added the smiley face. :-)

Kramer: .....By the way, when you see George give him these, these'll work.

Elaine: I knew those condoms were defective!

Jerry: How did you know they were defective?!

George walks in.

Elaine: Because! Because she missed her period!

George: She missed her period? Oh my god. I can't believe it! I'm a father! I did it! My boys can swim! I can do it! I can do it!

'...the male condom fails 15 times per 100 users per year. Statistically, this becomes a 100% failure rate in less than five years."

Yes, but the failure rate is better than Microsoft's Windows OS."

As happens so damn often here, that episode was on last night.

Let me rephrase that,

Teenagers don't realize that the primary purpose of sex is to procreate.

[LauraleeBraswell]

Pregnancy has come to be viewed as A consequence of sex. It should be viewed as THE consequence of sex.

Sex makes babies. And allot of people my age don't get that. They know it, they just don't get it.

[Who dat?]

The mother of a 17-year-old girl was concerned that her daughter was having sex.

Worried the girl might become pregnant and adversely impact the family's status, she consulted the family doctor.

The doctor told her that teenagers today were very willful and any attempt to stop the girl would probably result in rebellion. He then told her to arrange for her daughter to be put on birth control and until then, talk to her and give her a box of condoms.

Later that evening, as her daughter was preparing for a date, the woman told her about the situation and handed her a box of condoms.

The girl burst out laughing and reached over to hug her mother saying:"Oh Mom! You don't have to worry about that! I'm dating Susan!"
