Men - Have you ever impregnated a woman??

I don't really get the "intentional/accidental" difference. I mean, regardless of whether fertilization happens or not, you intended to fuck. After that, matters aren't up to you.

A Catholic, eh?

I am a mother fucker

Intending to fuck is not the same thing as trying for a pregnancy, DUHHHH.

there's something called in vitro, for one thing

Yes, once, planned, proud daddy, daughter all growed up.

I don't think it's duhhh at all! But I guess it's my weird understanding of "intention", wherein a person has to have it in their power to bring about the chosen outcome in order to count as an intention. To intend to do something, your act has to be sufficient to bring that something about. When I decide to "try" to make someone pregnant, my actions are insufficient to bring about the pregnancy. </philosopher>

i was thinking about if you're in a long-term relationship with someone and you decide, no more contraception, let's have a kid (the ticking clock scenario) of course the actual fertilization is out of your control.

That truly is a weird understanding of "intention." There are very few things we intend to do which don't rely on the cooperation of at least one other person to successfully happen. xpost

I love the thread title/question. What, pray tell, else could one impregnate?

a pause

1. To make pregnant; inseminate.
2. To fertilize (an ovum, for example).
3. To fill throughout; saturate: a cotton wad that was impregnated with ether.
4. To permeate or imbue: impregnate a speech with optimism

HOT ETHER/WAD ACTION

"lol I totally knocked up those five seconds"

You could impregnate a girl.

^^^ not to be understood as granting permission.

if we're old-skool then fertility = womanhood

And they said Jagger wouldn't bring anything to the table at I Love TMI.

What's the answer for 'Probably, I have done the sunday morning trip down to the Soho drop in clinic for the morning after pill'

^^^ man needs a loudspeaker

I have, and w/o wanting to come over all "new man" about it, it was great in every way imaginable. I wish I could do it again, we both do actually, but circumstances (ie health of partner) dictate otherwise.

if we're old-skool then fertility = womanhood

Yes, true. This is why we ask for a moist tampon from females wishing to buy liquor or vote.

cmon ppl it's disingenuous not to get what i mean here, pre-victorian social mores etc

Louis, I'm trying really hard to cut you a break here, but do you really ever think through the things that come out of your mouth/keyboard?

Do you really need someone on this board to explain to you why extolling pre-Victorian social mores etc. could be... problematic to say the best?

i'm not extolling them ffs, i'm referencing them

i don't actually subscribe to "fertility = womanhood", christ

I'm not having a go at you, Louis, I'm just trying to explain why you are rubbing me (and obv other people here) the wrong way on this.

You might want to be more careful with the way that you "reference" things. Generally people don't refer to outdated racist, sexist, etc. attitudes of the past as being "old skool" or "classic" or whatever without raising some hackles.

Anyway, sorry for derail. As you were.

had a couple scares, but no

We didn't really intend on having a baby, but didn't really mind if it happened either.

In other words, we were aware of the consequences, but weren't actively trying either.

Seems like if you're intending, you get the calendars, fish oil, and Farmer's Almanac out or something.

"calendars, fish oil, farmer's almanac"

When you've had a couple of goes w/o success, it kind of gets like that, yeah.

the answer int his situation is "no," because the morning after pill prevents pregnancy. it doesn't (and can't) end one

sure doesnt prevent a pukefest though

thats real

we used to prescribe a phernergan with it

voted "no, dumb luck"...broken condoms are scary

yep, likewise.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

What's the answer for 'Probably, I have done the sunday morning trip down to the Soho drop in clinic for the morning after pill'

RS and had to do a Sunday morning trip down to that very clinic (the one off Soho Sq.?) for that very purpose once. LOL.

I also took EC once in college but didn't have any puking either time thankfully.

They changed the law in here a few years ago, so nowadays you don't need a doctor's prescription for the morning-after pill, anyone can just buy it at the pharmacist. It makes sense to me, I think previously there was way too much hassle for a piece of paper which I assume most doctors wrote automatically.

Same in the U.S. if you're over 18. Under 18s still need a prescription as do women on Medicaid which is problematic for a number of reasons.

way to seize the opportunity to jump on someone for an innocuous post and try to claim the moral high ground w/r/t louis upthread.

ts: thinking things through before you post vs thinking things through before you respond to a post

bring back the scold's bridle

This poll is missing a 'Possibly - have no idea' option.

^^^^^ yeah. i imagine 90% of guys cant be sure?

Well there is "Probably, cuz I'm so virile but I don't know for sure (btw i'm a sailor)", but I guess ILMers are mostly landlubbers

jerking off over your record collection does not make babby it is true

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
