In the best of all worlds, protected sex leads to babies
You really must read this quick, impassioned essay from a mother of eight who explains the real meaning of protected sex, especially in the glut of slut we call Grey’s Anatomy and Sex in the City: the Movie.
Fertility and sexuality are united, but often clumsily shared. Protection means providing a context for that shared gift that can handle any and all of the consequences. Contraception fails. Impotence happens. Pregnancy is not a surprise. It happens after people have sex! Or it doesn’t. In real life, the desperate housewives are usually more worried about paying the bills.
Then again, I’m old and tired, too. When people tell me I look great, I am really grateful for the compliment, because I have eight children. People joke that my husband and I don’t know how this happens, but we have one up on Hollywood. We understand how real sex gets protected.

I want to be like McGuire! Oh, wait, I am. After fourteen years of diapers I say amen and amen to this woman’s wisdom.
The Sex and the City gals can have their shoes, I’ll take my 25 years of “protected” sex any day.

Having gone through infertility…all the emphasis is placed on NOT getting pregnant. No one tells these young women…Oh by the way…you may NOT BE ABLE to get pregnant.
And I will even admit this even though it very likely will have some backlash. Thinking I was the oh so savvy divorcee’ I entered into what I thought was a monogomous relationship with a man who was not yet my husband. Marriage had been proposed. I was really embarrassed when I had to go to my long time gynocologist and tell him I needed a full screening to make sure I hadn’t been exposed to anything. Apparently some people are incapable of monogomy. Now you can sign me older and wiser.

I loved the ad showing a bride and groom still in gown and tux and leaving a church. The cutline under the pic? “The best thing to wear when you plan on having ’safe sex’!”
Priceless

I love the way she puts that. It finally turns the phrase “safe sex” into something meaningful.

Skanky gals hop in the sack with loser deadbeats. And you know Mr Deadbeat has no real job or real income. In fact he still lives with his parents. The bulk of his income is invested in his car or his clothing
Skank and Deadbeat never bother to marry.
But skank’s offspring still needs basic medical care, food and a sitter while skank goes off to her low-pay job.
Welcome to the Welfare State, the only really significant achievemt of the Sexual revolution.
