Baby bad, sex good

[Comment Below]

By Stephen Phillips

Dear Stephen,

Lately, there has been a great deal of controversy over the use of birth control. Do a lot of men truly feel that women feel used and broken after sex? If that was true, there would be a lot of unsatisfied women in the world. Also, do men take no responsibility in having sex with women? Do you feel that the majority of men, or even women, share many of these view points?

- Not used or broken, but satisfied

Dear Satisfied,

I don’t think even the most ignorant of men believe women feel that way after sex. I’ve never met a fully intact man who didn’t want to have sex at least 90 percent of the time. And most of them want to satisfy their partners. “Used” and “broken” do not equate to satisfaction, so such an idea is as out of place as a Wookiee on Endor. Yeah, I just made that reference, and I will not press backspace.

Really, it’s a woman who should be the most satisfied after sex. She is the one who is capable of being sexually charged and using her brain at the same time. Women are smart enough to take full advantage of contraceptives.

It’s unfortunate that birth control is the subject of so many heated debates. But we live in a country where we have the freedom to shove our beliefs down each other’s throats. Religion, religion, religion. Why does religion have to be a debate rather than an exchange of beliefs?

I can tell you my thoughts on contraceptives, but they are only my thoughts, which are not based on religion. After almost two and a half years of writing for this paper, I never brought religion into my opinion articles, and I won’t start now.

I’ll say that I’m a big advocate of sex in general. It’s a healthy way for people to express a strong romantic attachment to each other. I support sex for love, sex for pleasure and sex for procreation. Relationships can thrive on a healthy amount of sex combined with effort, communication and a truly infabricated emotional bond.

To put it bluntly, I strongly advocate the right to satisfy a woman in any way possible, while doing whatever it takes to avoid having a baby. Why? Because I’m in college for crying out loud. Sex is free, but I sure as hell can’t afford to provide a stable home for a child.

And I dare someone to judge me for that.
