Rape-related pregnancies occur with significant frequency because rape occurs with significant frequency.

Akin stepped into a trap here and I'll even go so far as to say he should quit for the sake of the GOP winning this election.

But he was not wrong. The 5% pregnant conclusion for rape-related pregnancies is total BS.

The most efficient way to achieve pregnancy is for the woman to lie on her back, buttocks elevated by pillows or rolled towels, legs spread wide apart. Her man enters from the top with gentle but repeated thrusting. This position is efficient for a number of reasons including the following:

Contact between the highly nerve sensitive glans of the penis and clitoris is maximized.
Repeated, but gentle thrusting increases said stimulation and ensures climax.
Penile contact to the full length of the vaginal walls is most efficient. Bent or odd-angle entry is avoided as is the resulting inefficient stimulation.
Semen discharge is in highly efficient maximum quantity and channeled directly to the egg, rather than mostly leaking out in a minimal quantity.

My wife and I discovered this as our preferred position many years ago. Totally wonder and ecstatic for you younger people who haven't tried it. Definitely, give it a try as this country could use a lot more baby Freepers.

If we are at the national average for married couples who have intercourse roughly twice a week (and it was way closer to twice a day during our early years of marriage), this means we've had intercourse at least 3,000 times, most of it in the preferred position described.

This means Mrs. Vigilanteman should have been pregnant 3000 x 5% or 150 times. The actual result: three times or 0.1%. This is using the most efficient position most of the time with consensual and relaxed sexual intercourse.

The details may be different for other couples, but I doubt that the actual results are all that different. Do we really want to start a survey thread to check this math?

Wow, Viglanteman; my husband has taken our kids to see their grandmother for the next week in the Gaspe while I work. That is unfortunate for me right now, as you have made quite an interesting, informative post, even though I’m likely beyond childbearing years. Whew! :)

btw, Mrs. Vigilaneman is a lucky woman! LOL. :)
