I want to conduct a poll; I don't expect much in the way of commentary. It will be unscientific. I just want to get a reading on this crowd. What is the most profound status that applies to you?
Skewed poll. How about those of us who have pre- or post-marital protected sex that doesn't lead to either an abortion or the birth of a child?
My option would be selective pre-marital sex with protection, and occasional not so selective pre-marital with protection, but still not to the extent of whenever I can get it. Follow that by post-marital sex, also with protection to ensure that no little FB's are running around.
There were two options for you. Whether or not you use protection is immaterial... to the inquiry of the poll because accidents do happen.
"... whenever I can get it" was just meant to be a mood-lightener. This is a very intrusive poll so I was hoping to relax it a bit with a tad of humor.
I won't vote in this poll because, mood lightener or not, none of the options applies to me. I could get more premarital sex than I have. I'm not voting for the option closest to the truth for me, because I don't sleep with everyone who hits on me. Also, the "accidents happen" point is the same one that's used to promote an abstinence only approach to sex ed and to condemn the free distribution of condoms. In today's dangerous world, that's way past irresponsible. And the thinking behind the lack of protected vs. unprotected option here troubles me. I suspect this poll has a lot more to do with giddy's strict pro-life position than anything else. That's fine, but it'd be nice if he was a little more plain about it.
A little paranoid about me aren't you Batman? It's just a poll and I have no way of knowing who voted which way unless you make a comment. Your comments tell me much more than your anonymous voting would have... but not anything I was wanting to know! I'm just trying to find out how much of a reality abortions are with this crowd.
Sadly, I think it depends on how you define sex, before I was married. I'm not real proud of that, personally. but i'd like to answer for my current situation post-marital sex with my wife whenever i can get it and post-marital sex that led to the birth of two boys.
Truth be told, when I was writing the poll I added the "whenever you can get it" qualifier to the post-marital option. In case you don't know it, having kids can be tough on your sex life. Nuff said. Then I went back and added the same qualifier to the pre-marital option just to keep it balanced (and light). What I really wanted to know was to find out how many had really been involved in abortion decisions. Like Max, I'm on both pre- and post-marital sex hunts and like Batman not interested in every single opportunity. Serial monogamy was my game.
After countless posts that clearly illustrate your viewpoint, what makes you think that anyone on this board who has been involved in an "abortion decision" would want to share this information with you?
What? Are they ashamed of something? The sharing is anonymous. What am I going to do with that? Why do you always attack the messenger?
