Hello ladies Smile

A colleague of mine told me that in order to increase the chance of conception I should lie on my back with my legs up against a wall for half an hour post sex!!

Obviously I know it is silly - but I still did it last night!!! Grin

Also - this is a seriously TMI question but I do need to ask it.

After sex, how much sperm do you find leaks out of you?? Blush

Even after having my legs up for the wall for about 15 minutes I still found there was quite a lot of leakage when I stood up, haha.

I can't believe I'm talking about this!

I guess I just thought that all the sperm would be shot up to where it needed to be???

I don't disagree with you when you say it's happening all over but I just do not see what is wrong with a sperm bank.

valiumredhead · 16/07/2013 15:29

Money? It's not a cheap option by any means.

MakeItUpAsYouGoAlong · 16/07/2013 15:41

No Valium it's not your right, I'm just thinking morally that's all

JuicyFatSteak · 16/07/2013 15:43

Makeitup, so you advocate this woman buying sperm and rearing a fatherless child but not via casual sex? Can you explain this nonsense?

valiumredhead · 16/07/2013 15:45

It's the deception I think...

Cupcake11 · 16/07/2013 15:46

As a purely academic point (no judgement), do the people who say half the blame lays with the man because he hasn't mentioned contraception think it was the same for a man who has sex with women knowing he has a serious STD or is even HIV positive? That they are equally to blame because they didn't make him wear a condom. After all, we all know the risks from unprotected sex are pregnancy and infection.
I just wondered if to some people it's easier to excuse because to us having a baby is a positive thing. I don't know, it just made me think maybe it's not as black and white as it first looks.
By the way, I'm in no way saying what International is doing is the same as that. I was just curious as to where people draw the line with their morals. Absolutely no offence to anyone meant! x

MakeItUpAsYouGoAlong · 16/07/2013 15:52

That man has chosen to deposit his sperm knowingly and wllingly to make a child is the difference.
This man, I know he hasn't chosen to discuss the use of contraception but he hasn't actually said he wishes to TTC that's the difference.

The problem here is morals. I do truely hope the man in question does have a relationship with any possible child in this instance but only knowing what cards have been laid on the table.
I suspect if this man did know what was going on he could be quite angry, yes he has played his part I do accept that but I cannot believe that people are condoning this situation.

There are right ways to do this.

JuicyFatSteak · 16/07/2013 16:21

Makeitup ( a very apt name, by-the-way), can't you see that a man who is happily fucking on a regular basis without using a condom is donating his sperm? What this lady chooses to do with that sperm is her business.

Writerwannabe83 · 16/07/2013 17:31

Lol - that made me laugh out loud a little - but in a "no beating around the bush, you make a valid point" kind of way. Grin

We're not talking about sperm.
We are talking about a life. I do agree with you that the man shouldn't do it no, but is the op going to do the whole 'I'm pregnant, sniff sniff by accident' because that's bollocks. That's the worst bit, if she says I'm pregnant you never asked me about contraception and I assumed: that's fair enough and I think that's fine

JuicyFatSteak · 16/07/2013 18:20

Cupcake, I would say a disease is very different to a baby. The law sees it as assault if a man willingly has sex with a woman knowing he has HIV/HepC and she becomes infected.

Makeitup, I don't think international intends to do any sniffing...unless she's a cokehead, too Grin

MakeItUpAsYouGoAlong · 16/07/2013 18:24

Juicy- I think you get what I mean and where I'm coming from now Smile.
Your name is making me really hungry!!! I'm the middle of moving and no food shop done. Steak would do nicely right now!

JuicyFatSteak · 16/07/2013 18:31

Makeitup, sorry I've been snappy, can I blame the hormones? Hmm

I'm a complete meat freak Smile

MakeItUpAsYouGoAlong · 16/07/2013 19:18

Ill let you Smile

fifi669 · 16/07/2013 19:31

This is just mental. Talking about having children as some god given right. I assume the FWB thinks International is on the pill and it probably doesn't occur to him otherwise. Men are quite stupid sometimes.

My DP has a DS with his ex, she was a complete psycho ' on the pill''. He believed her. Despite an unhappy relationship he stuck around til DS was 8 months old. When he finally left, he paid maintenance, saw her regularly until the ex stopped contact as he made it clear their relationship was over. 2 years on he's still fighting to get proper contact. My point being, it absolutely breaks his heart that he's missed her first steps etc. However, I asked him if he'd got with someone new and not me (we'd been friends for 5 years so would assume trustworthy), would he use a condom? He said not if she was on the pill..... No learning. I promise you this is an intelligent guy I'm talking about!

It's really unfair to call someone a troll just because you don't agree with what they are doing.

She hadn't vanished, she's come back and explained her situation. Don't think she needs to defend herself at all.

JuicyFatSteak · 16/07/2013 21:23

I really like posters who say exactly what they think and are happy to fight it out when pearl-clutchers practice being outraged. Trolls are a different matter: they should be stabbed in the tits Smile
