Why is intimacy and pleasure tabboo unless you’re 18 in this society?

I’m fourteen, and my girlfriend [also 14] and i have sex usually like every (or sometimes every OTHER) weekend. I understand u probly think we’re “too young” and we’ll “understand when we’re older… u know, that BS…

I do NOT think that any 14 yr old, or evn 16 or 17 yr old should be having sex. OR that sex shouldnt have an age limit or something like that. It is a HUGE responsibility and privilage.
I DO believe that sex should be accepted as a natural part of life as it was many centuries ago. I think it should ONLY be allowed to people who accept the risks, care about the concequences, and are mature about it. Also that people HAVING sex should truly be IN love. I truly am IN LOVE my girlfriend, and if you read my other Qs and actually knew about her life, you would see that i try to be there for her evry second possible, and that she IS my life. We want to get married at 16, and if you actually want to, go ahead and read my other Qs to get a better view of the situation.

i dont think this just because of my age, that’s a common mistake ppl think.
it’s my philosophy on life, and yes i have one at least at age 14… wisdom knows no age, that’s the beauty of it. and neither does intelligence, maturity obviously (based on many other discussions i have had with LITERALLY hundreds of others), a feeling, a thought, or any other PERSONAL view. Virtues are things that can be LEARNED, but only if you UNDERSTAND the meaning of HAVING them. For those ppl on here that think they know SO much more than me and are SO much better because of age, there is nothing i can do to change your mind, nor do i care, but why take you’re precious time to bash me while i wont listen to just that?

… I honestly dont mind if you do as long as you say something to actually contribute to the discussion, but PLEASE save your histrionic, narcissistic, antisocial, BS for someone who cares.
This is a discussion about what I’m about to say.

Why are people so concerned with policing other’s lives about sex??? If you really DO love someone WHY is it so wrong if you’re under 18?… people from 14-18 are at the SAME risk for STI’s and pregnancy!

what do YOU think?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PLEASE IM me, i love discussing philosophy evn if you COMPLETELY dissagree…
brandonbrj is my AIM btw…
btw, my gf and i have been together for almost a year now
haha i know, i’ve already asked this, but i hate it when there’s too much to go through and the page gets REALLY long, and i wanted to make a few corrections so ppl would stop sayin stupid BS
and yes, born 02-07-1995 in Santa Maria, CA
i do consider anyone younger than 14, MAYBE 13 HUGELY depending on their maturity, relationship strength, and many other things, to be too young for sex, and im going to b fifteen soon…

but that doesnt mean that SAYING that i’ve had sex at 14 sounds right to me, i just see it that in MY situation at least and a few other’s that ive talked to about, it isn’t wrong in itself.

Well I am thinking about trying to have a baby soon and I have a few questions about folic acid & other things?

I am only 19 years old, and I know that that is a very young age, but i feel that i am almost ready to have a little one of my own. And i have been doing some research on the computer, and they say that folic acid is good to take before and during pregnancy, so i went out and bought some it is labeled” Finest Natural Folic Acid 400mcg” and I needed to know if these are the right ones to take? Also I am wondering what could I do to increase my odds of getting pregnant sooner?
Thanks for your time & help!

when did intimacy and pleasure become tabboo…?

INFERTILITY, CHANCES OF NATURAL CONCEPTION AFTER FIRST NORMAL DELIEVERY & 2ND TIME IVF SUCCESS CHANCES?

my wife had a IVF cycle & she was able to conceive twins the first time only. but after 26 weeks, water breakage occured and she gave birth to 1 girl & 1 boy. after surviving 3 days, both of them expired. now when i go for the 2nd cycle of IVF, what r the chances of successful conception. Her tubes are blocked. are there chances of natural conception also after she has delievered normally this first time. do guide for the further steps

do there any differnce btween IVF embryo and natural babies?

why do people use the “it goes against nature” argument for things like homosexuality, IVF and celibacy?

OK, so IVF isn’t “natural” but why do people make this argument when almost nothing that we do today is natural? technology isn’t natural, clothes aren’t natural, neither is money, lots of food combinations, the way we eat, showers, beds, medicine- none of it is natural, so what is the point of making this argument?

Do you think that IVF is bad for our over populated world?

I’m just saying, naturally, there are reasons that some will be able to have babies and some can’t. Our world is so over populated and in the US alone there have been over half a million IVF births since the 1980s. We are running out of natural resources as it is. Why can’t people just adopt the babies that are already here? I’ve adopted twice and I think IVF is highly selfish.

Has anyone prevented pregnancy for years using Natural Family Planning?

Hello, As a Catholic, I am looking into Natural Family Planning for someday when I’m married. However, I’m not sure that I trust it to prevent pregnancy since I have read conflicting reports on this method of birth control. Has anyone actually had success with postponing pregnancy for at least 3 years using this method? Has anyone had this method fail even though you were doing everything right?

Any answers with personal experience with this method will be most appreciated. Thank you.

Why is everyone crazy about going natural during pregnancy?

Ok so everything I’ve read and heard from the professionals says not to go natural… like minerals and herbs and organics… because it could hurt the baby and react funny with the chemicals in your body… why is it then that everyone wants to?

Something natural that I can take for muscle pain and pain related to bones during pregnancy?

I have a lot of back pain and muscle pain do to bad scoliosis and spondylolysis (two of the bones in my back didn’t grow together right), along with knee and shoulder pain from various dislocations, hyper mobility, and the curvature of my neck is faced in the wrong direction. I have a lot of pain daily and realize I won’t be able to take pain meds while pregnant. What else could I take? I would prefer something natural and it has to be pregnancy safe.

Has anyone ever gotten pregnant in the month right after a natural pregnancy?

why does reading about pregnancy freak me out?

i have a 3 year old son, so obviously i have given birth lol i had a natural birth with pain relief and didnt have any complications.
but whenever someone talks to me about pregnancy or labour i freak out and cringe at the thought of it, it makes me feel sick like im in pain. can anyone help?

Is this the natural result of liberal attitudes towards sex?

10-year-old gives birth
28 September 2007

BRUSSELS – A ten-year-old girl from Charleroi gave birth to a baby last year. The father was 13.

“The pregnancy was a big surprise to the girl and her mother,” says doctor Robert Chef from Charleroi. “The child came to me with unexplained abdominal pain. She had also put on weight. Her mother had even put her on a diet for a while but that had little effect. When we examined her it turned out she was nine months pregnant. The child was carrying a full term baby.”

What surprised the doctor the most was that the 10-year-old really looked her age. “Some girls look like a teenager of 15 or 16 at that age. But not this girl.”

Still the delivery went smoothly. The young mother was given special treatment however. She was not admitted to the regular maternity ward lest this raise too many curious questions. She was given a bed in the children’s ward.
“The father of the baby came to visit her there as well. Many pregnancies in young girls are the result of incest. But that was not at all the case here. The father was a schoolmate of 13. A young guy as well.”

Robert Chef says the parents of the girl did not respond angrily. “The grandmother immediately took charge of the baby. She said she would raise it as her own child.”

Yesterday the medical weekly De Huisarts reported that 57 Belgian 10-year-olds had been prescribed a birth control pill last year. Some for medical reasons, but others for actual birth control.

What do you think the chances are getting pregnant this time?

I have a healthy 4 yr old daughter and that pregnancy went fine. We had been trying for 9 months for our second child and sadly I had a natural miscarriage on 7/15/07 I was only 4 weeks along. My doctor said we can start trying after I stopped bleeding so we have be trying since 7/24/07 but I took a pregnancy test on 8/10/07 and it was negative. Do you think I could still be pregnant and the HCG level was to early to detect? I also was reading that after a natural miscarriage you ovulate during 6-8 weeks after the miscarriage so should we still keep trying during those weeks? I am not stressing it we have sex only 3 times for fun and I just want to know what do you think the chances are to get pregnant again? Thank you for all your answers and advice.

How Long Should You Wait Between Pregnancies?

I have a 13 1/2mth old son and he was a natural birth.
My partner and I are TTC#2 but I have been reading that it’s not recommened to get pregnant until your child is about 4 because your body isn’t physically ready.

My questions today are:
1) How long should you wait between pregnancies?

2) What would happen if I was to get pregnant now?
Would my baby be at risk?

3) How far apart are your children? Did you have a more complicated pregnancy because they were close/far apart?

Facebook?!!!!!!!!!!!?

To those who have/had their positive pregnancy test. It is OK to laugh?

I don’t know if this has to do with anything, if anything it is funny

Today I am day +8, after egg transfer of 2 grade 1 embryos. I have my BT on Monday and the nurse at the clinic tells me that the earliest they can detect any HcG is no sooner then day +10, but we all know what the 2 week wait is like 🙂 At the moment I can’t imagine my body is not doing anything natural at the moment due to this IVF cycle and all the meds and all that, anyway to get to the point, other then the AF pains, and the tender (.)(.) from the crinone gel I reckon, my nibbles are so dry and hard and itchy (sorry tmi) more the left then the right, but don’t know if this has anything to do with anything I just wanted to know if others have had something similar, or maybe it is just a laugh and a reaction of all the meds I have had over the last month. Heres hoping it is a positive

IVF, what are the chances?

I had a fet yesterday, the embryologist said the embryo defrosted nicely and looked very healthy, so just wondering what the chances of it implanted successfully are now that i know it defrosted well? It was frozen 5 days post egg collection. I became pregnant first go with my 4 mth old son with a fresh cycle. Also what are the first signs, as i have had no medication at all, but with my last pregnancy i was on hormones so i am not sure what the first signs of pregnancy are in a natural pregnancy and when the signs start. TIA

Have you had symptoms of implantation?

If so what were they (spotting, cramping, etc) and when were they in your cycle (cycle day, dpo, before or after expected period, etc)? I am just curious as I had brown spotting off and on yesterday which was cycle day 22 for me and about 8 dpo. I have had nothing since yesterday evening. Also my period is not due until at least Monday and I have only had spotting a day before my period before and it is usually a little heavier and more red and doesn’t stop.

Thanks so much for sharing your stories and any info with me.

P.S. TTC for 27 months now, seeing an RE, this was a natural cycle, supposed to start a treatment cycle with Gonal F and timed intercourse at the start of my next period and if that fails it is on to IVF. Our doctor was joking last week and said that just talking about IVF scares your body into getting pregnant. We laughed but he said he sees it happen a lot.
I had some slight cramping on and off the past couple of days too.
I just thought it was odd and it caught me totally off guard yesterday because I am at least 7 days away from my period. I am trying not to read too much into but I am still hopeful!!!

I had the spotting 7 days before I expect my period which is why I thought it was odd. I read on article online last night that said 20-30% of women will have implantation spotting or bleeding.

The pregnancy test indicated positive, but there is a sign of period?

hi, last week, the pregnancy test indicated that my girlfriend is pregnant. So we went to see doctor and he said she is 99.9% pregnant and he counted probably pregnant for 5 weeks. However, today after we had sex, there was a litttle amount of blood coming out,seems like period. Is that normal? or may be natural abortion?

When is the best time to take a pregnancy test?

I have bee trying to get pregnant for a little over 3 years. And I have taken A LOT of tests some come out wrong. Is there a good time to take one & when is it? To anyone that might know. Im about ready to see a doctor & really don’t want to. We are trying to do it God’s way you know all natural.

mostly natural pregnancy, no tests, no drugs, but i want ultrasounds..?

i plan on having my baby naturally. i only want non invasive care. i dont mind finger pricks, but i dont want any blood drawn, the only thing i want to do is get ultrasounds. has anyone done this before? whgat was your experience
honestly, blood work is not necessary. how do you think woman used to do this?
why did you “answer” my question if you were just going to give a close minded opinion on how you think i am selfish?
okay, DONT ANSWER THIS IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE ME AN ACTUAL ANSWER. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR OPINIONS
i didnt say all natural. i said mostly natural. i have already been screened for blood problems.
no woman in my family has ever had any problems where they needed emergency care. if something happens and i need a C section that is one thing, but i do not plan on giving blood, or taking some extreme drugs like an epidural. i dont need your rude opinions

Positive Pregnancy Test Normal HCG but Low Progesterone??

Last Wed. I had a blood test for pregnancy. The test came back positive. My HCG levels were around 3200, but my progesterone was very low at 4.7. I was retested today and am awaiting results. I have had mild right ovary pain, but no bleeding or spotting what so ever. The pain isn’t bad and it comes and goes.

This is my 4th pregnancy, first 2 were IVF and was on progesterone anyway, and my last pregnancy was natural as is this one. No problems in the others.

Just looking for anyone with similar experiences. Thanks in advance.

Is it safe to exercise during pregnancy?

I’m 32 years old and 9 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Prior to pregnancy I was (hating it, but)running 5 miles a day and had been doing so for the past few years. However, my midwife told me I should only do gentle exercises which would not raise my heartbeat too high and make me too hot!!! Obviously this means no serious cardio and I am trying to figure out how I am going to control my weight if I cannot exercise during my pregnancy. ‘Gentle exercise’ never did anything for me and much as I hated it, there was a reason I had to do all that crazy cardio in the first place! Help! Is it the norm to only walk during pregnancy? I would have thought it’s healthy to keep the body fit and strong throughout this period and thought that as I have been athletic my whole life, this would not be too much of an issue. Not sure what to do now as I don’t want to risk my pregnancy in any way, and of course I won’t be running and going crazy at the gym, but I also need to watch my weight (as I soak up calories just by looking at food and also love my food and hence have to work to keep any semblance of a shape), else given my natural constitution, I will be a balloon by the time I get to 9 months!

Please let me know if you have any advice on the matter…

Immune system boosters during pregnancy?

My question was getting buried in the pregnancy section, so I posted another one here.
So my hubby has come down with an awweful case of the flu. Normally I would take large doeses of Vit C, Echinacea, and Garlic capsules at the onset to boost my immune system….but I am not sure if these are safe during pregnancy. What are some natural immune system boosters that are safe during pregnancy(I am 5 weeks)?
Also, what are some things I can give the kids to help boost their immune system as well(14 months and almost 4 years)? I am still nursing the 14 month old.

thanks 🙂

Girlfriend likes it “Rough”, what does it mean?!?

My girlfriend isn’t a very romantic person, but she is a very sexual person. She likes me to be rough with her (i.e. put my hands around her neck, holding her down, holding her hands behind her bed, etc.)

Basically I have never been with someone like this and I wonder what this means. Does this usually root from sexual abuse as a child or some sort of abusive memories? She doesn’t say anything cute or romantic, doesn’t generally respond to romantic gestures and pretty much makes me feel like the female of the relationship. Please help, I need to know what I’m getting into.

For the record, she is a 31 yr old single mother (teen pregnancy) and was not raised by her natural parents. As far as I know, she was raised by her grandparents who treated her very well, but were old fashion.

My period lasts for 10 to two weeks! and comes every 2 weeks! which means 2 weeks period, two weeks no period?

Manny Ramirez suspension……?

Here’s my question Manny was banned for 50 games for his HCG levels being too high. Now the experts are saying steroid users do this to restart their natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. This is true, but how do we know that Manny and his wife aren’t trying to have another kid there last two were born in ’03 and ’06 and ’09 or ’10 fit will for a natural progression. Maybe he and his wife are going through fertility treatment (which could be a “personal problem” and are getting ready to through IVF. This would be a valid reason to have high levels of HGC in his system.

Now granted he may have problems concieving a kid because of steroid use but until he’s proven guilty of actual use, why jump the gun?

please read my rough draft….?

its an argumentative paper..its mainly alot of statistics and me bitching. i know it sucks so you dont have to tell me i just need a final copy turned in tuesday, help me improve it somehow please. be honest and if theres anything i can add to it to make it longer let me know. thank you!

Giving Free Contraceptives to Teens: Harmful or Helpful?

Teenagers having free access to contraceptives has been a swaying issue for those who believe that contraceptives are harmful or helpful. In this day and age teens are having sex at a younger and younger age. When the issue of giving free contraceptives to teenagers comes up there is the group that cringes into a ball and the other that gives a sigh of relief. The issues that are normally argued are that teenagers are not old or wise enough to make big decisions such as having sex, which contraceptive to use, or how to avoid the risk of getting an STD, HIV, or HPV. There are health advantages and concerns that arise with certain types of birth control including the prevention of STDs and AIDS. Or since teenagers go through puberty and are going to experiment anyways shouldn’t they have safe sex and be provided for? Do parents have to be notified if their teen is asking for contraceptives? Who would be paying for these “free” contraceptives? Also religious views and moral beliefs of the people decide how they react to the issue itself.
There are at least five main ways to prevent pregnancy. The first is abstinence, which is voluntarily refraining from any sexual activity. This form of contraceptive is the only contraceptive proven to be 100% effective. The second would be a fertility awareness method, Natural Family Planning (NFP) this form of birth control does not rely on any devices or medications to prevent pregnancy. Natural Family Planning is a contraceptive method that uses the natural functions of your body and your menstrual cycle to calculate ovulation. The most common features of NFP involve recording of your body temperature and changes in your cervical mucus each day. This method requires abstinence 7 to 10 days during the ovulation period. Some women choose to use a barrier method or withdrawal during this time frame. Barrier methods are a third choice, they are made to stop sperm from entering a woman’s uterus. The first form of barrier method is the male condom is a tube of thin material (latex rubber) that is rolled over the erect penis prior to contact with the vagina. A condom is a most common barrier method. The female condom is a seven-inch long pouch of polyurethane with two flexible rings and is inserted into the vagina prior to intercourse. The female condom covers the cervix, vaginal canal, and the immediate area around the vagina. The third barrier method is are chemicals that are designed to kill sperm. Spermicidal chemicals are available as foam, jelly, foaming tablets and vaginal suppositories. Diaphram is a soft rubber dome stretched over a flexible ring; the dome is filled with a spermicidal cream or jelly. The diaphragm is inserted into the vagina and placed over the cervix no more than 3 hours prior to intercourse. Cervical cap is a small cup made of latex rubber or plastic. The cervical cap is filled with a spermicidal cream or jelly and inserted into the vagina and placed over the cervix. Contraceptive sponge is a soft saucer-shaped device made from polyurethane foam. The fourth method, Hormonal methods contain manufactured forms of the hormones estrogen and/or progesterone. Hormonal methods work in one of three ways: 1) preventing a woman’s ovaries from releasing an egg each month; 2) causing the cervical mucus to thicken making it harder for sperm to reach and penetrate the egg; 3) thinning the lining of the uterus which reduces the likelihood that a fertilized egg will implant in the uterus wall. Hormonal contraceptives do not protect against the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. The first form is the birth-control pill (“the pill“) are taken daily as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Depo-Provera is an injection given by your health care provider that prevents pregnancy for three months. Lunelle is an injection given by your health care provider that prevents pregnancy for one month. NuvaRing or vaginal ring is a flexible ring that is inserted into the vagina for three weeks, removed for one week, and then replaced with a new ring. Ortho Evra Patch/ Birth Control Patch is placed directly on the skin with the hormones built into the sticky side of the patch. Each week for the first three weeks a patch is placed on the hip, buttocks or upper arm. The fourth week you are free from the patch allowing for a menstrual period. Intrauterine Device (IUD) is placed directly on the skin with the hormones built into the sticky side of the patch. Each week for the first three weeks a patch is placed on the hip, buttocks or upper arm. The fourth week you are free from the patch allowing for a menstrual period. The n

Parents or not: Have you or would you educate your children about s*x?

I mean actually discussing how children are made and the importance of safe sex, etc.

Do you think that parents NOT discussing these matters with their children has contributed to the growing number of teens and young adults with STDs and unintended pregnancies?
Specifically in US and Britain, since you have more resources for prevention than many other countries do.

One last question… why are many parents unwilling to discuss something as natural as sex with their own children? In this day and age.
