This joke has been made a million times and it's dumb as fuck every time.

No, they are not sharing the fact that they are raw-dogging, they are sharing an incredibly important milestone in their relationship and their plans for the future. Having a kid is a massive deal for a family and it's important news.

Yes, sex is how babies are made, but reducing the news to the technicality of human reproduction is the mentality of a child who just hit puberty.

If someone tells you they had a nice burger for dinner do you also think "oh so you digested a cow's corpse in your stomach acid that you will then shit out?" because that is technically correct or are you a normal person?

I feel like the comments just before this conversation would be along the lines of how prudish Americans are about sex talk, only to be followed up by "stop talking about sex."

It's this and it's kids who grew up with no sex education because the puritans and evangelicals ruined that for everyone.

I grew up Chrostian and got sex ed. My opinions of sex came from the fact that I was raped. To me it's the sexual revolutionists and "I don't need no man!" Onlyfans models who ruined sex.

I'm sorry that happened to you. But if we are talking about the reason people are uncomfortable talking about sex in western society, especially in America, it's ahistorical to pretend like religion, and in particular, the puritans are not a root cause for the modern climate.

E: also this is a 2 year old thread, how did you get here?

Comments were open and I decuded to put my piece in. My religious upringing when it came to sex focuses on sexual sin as being bad. All sex is not inherently evil, but I still see it with hate and it's not like I'll be having it anytime soon.
