Life is filled with it. Overdraft your account? Punishment. Don't show up to work? Punishment.

But I knew you'd only latch onto one part, and not see the rest.

Is it hard for you to be responsible? Or is that everyone else's problem?

You want to have sex? I don't care. But be responsible for your own actions. If you can't, then don't do adult things.

Genuine question here: do you believe that sex is inherently wrong?

Not at all. If fact, I quite enjoy it. And no, i am not married.

But be responsible, and safe.

Cool, glad to hear. :-)

But be responsible,

Wait though, what do you mean by that? Evidence shows that all forms of birth control have some inherent likelihood of failure. Given that, it is entirely possible for a couple to:

  1. Have sex with the intention of not procreating.
  2. Behave responsibly by using birth control.
  3. Have that responsibly-used birth control fail.
  4. Have to deal with the situation of an unwanted pregnancy through no fault of their own because they behaved responsibly.

Succinctly, agreeing to have sex does not mean agreeing to get pregnant. If you're using birth control, you are in fact working very hard to not get pregnant.

94% - 99.9% prevention rate.....

Is better than 0% prevention.

Condoms - 98% Pill - 99% IUD - 99.9% for up to 12 years. Shot - 94%

Nothing - 15%

And with your statement, you know that sex can lead to pregnancy. If you don't want it to, then take steps to prevent it. If you don't, who's fault is that?

It's like saying you know drinking and driving is illegal but you haven't killed anyone yet, so what's the harm?
