That's an important truth you've stated.
Teeny is a very smart woman!
So it works on women pretty much the way nagging works on men.
Surely you meant procreate. If they don't want to recreate they wouldn't be having sex in the first place.
Condoms are to sex what a cork that wont budge is to a bottle of French Champagne.
I don't like that one!
When I was in the Navy and stationed in Florida, I dated a local girl whose mother had told her exactly that.
We found several positions that allowed her to hold the aspirin between her knees and still complete the act.
Hmmm....
I've never had a lack of desire. On or off birth control.
Best sex I EVER had was when she WANTED to get pregnant. Man, that was something else. I still remember it.
Don't tell my kids, eh? LOL.
Now I am going to go kiss my wife.
What about women who take it for endometriosis? Wonder what you know about that. I believe this information is likely valid; drugs are usually not very good for us but there are some people on contraceptives for true medical reasons and not for contraception purposes.
I am no expert, but I have been told by a doctor who used to prescribe it for endometriosis, that it is just a band aid approach, and is often used for that because it is easiest for the doctor.
Can't have any - but thanks.
That's why I brought up the info on Natural Family Planning (NFP) in my previous post. In practice, couples find it enhances desire and excitement. It can be used either to postpone or to achieve conception.
I am sorry - and I need to learn to shut up. Sorry.
Yeah. Nagging, crying, sarcasm, blaming, pitching a fit, talking about your level of credit card indebtedness...
I don't know. Pharmacist or MD FReepers, anybody got any insights here?
My tentative guess is that a treatment of endometriosis would aim at NORMALIZING the blood profile hormone-wise, which is of course an OK thing to do. But if the hormones were normalized, would it really work as a contraceptive? (Since fertility is as aspect of healthy functioning.)
The whole point of a hormonal contraceptive is to throw a monkey-wrench into healthy female sexual functioning, after all. That's a major reason why femles can find it objectionable: it treats physiologically normal female sexual functioning as a disease.
If you have ever suffered the horrid periods that I and some of my girlfriends have, you would think twice about presupposing why many women take birth control pills.
Three days of racking pain, wherein you can't either get out of bed or off the couch is enough to convince anyone that if there is medical treatment available, I'll take it.
I recall not even being able to get dressed in street clothes when I was in my teens and lying on the floor at my mom's feet at the doctor's office while waiting for my appointment.
Pills solved that.
You can share mine. They are very cute. Kids can always use more lovin!
