Yep, thank you. (Actually, in my state, for the moment, EC is covered, but it’s not in all states and/or you need a doctor’s prescription even for over-the-counter EC (which is incredibly time sensitive), and the situation can change at any time in any state. http://ec.princeton.edu/info/Medicaid.html ) But that still requires that she not be so scared/traumatized that she can tell me about it right away.
How many by their rapist husbands/boyfriends? And why does it have to be warm comfort to be legitimately mitigating? 31,000, you say? So hardly any, then?
Low risk? I would imagine its no risk ;).
However the parents here congratulating themselves on not needing to worry about lesbian daughters getting preggers are forgetting that said lesbians are also teens, a group known for pushing boundries and not having much sense. . Back in Uni, one of my “lesbian” friends showed up in our halls one fine morning with a positive pregnancy test and a urgent need to visit the abortionist. We all discovered that the NHS has some pretty medieval procudures before they let a woman abort.
And WhyNot said friend was not raped at all, just waaay too much to drink one evening with another friend of ours. Teens and early twenties kids are not known for consistently making good choices. I certainly made a few really stupid ones.
Not quite. There have been a few pregnancies reported in women who conceived after vigorous sex play with another woman who had had intercourse with a man shortly before or during the encounter. Digital transmission of semen is a thing. (Digit = finger). Sort of an unintentional amateur artificial insemination. Or even intentional in some cases.
My asexual daughter (really, not my fantasy - its her identification - at least currently) is on birth control. Evens out moods, she doesn’t worry about a period anymore - and the crampy feelings that go with it, and clears up acne. Plus, if she would have sex - with someone with a penis - she’d be protected against pregnancy.
Pregnancy is a big concern for parents. As are STDS. As is sexual violence. As is having your heart broken at sixteen. The last happens if you are straight or not. Sex adds a layer of complications to teenage relationships - which are hormone heavy and drama prone to start with. I think most parents would like to delay their kids having any kind of sex for as long as possible - sensible parents recognize there is little they can do. Sensible parents realize that you still worry.
I’m more worried about my son. He doesn’t like to tell us what is going on in his life. I’ve met one girlfriend - I don’t know if he has had others. He could end up getting a girl pregnant and we might not find out about it for a long time. If he penis turned green, I’m not sure he’d tell me - much less tell me about something more subtle.
Fascinating. You got a cite. (Not doubting you, just want to read more).
All I can say at the moment is that I read it in a respectable medical journal, but trying to google for it at the moment leads mainly to porn sites and do-it-yourself home insemination kits.
This will require more searching at a later time.
However, I believe it was associated with an article on superfecundation.
My daughter is in her late teens now, and still lives with us until she goes off to college out of state next fall. We are already discussing long-term birth control options with her, altho she is presently not sexually active, yet. Between school, her sport, and a part-time job, she has few opportunities to visit our local “Lookout Point”. Besides, she is nearly always exhausted - one way to keep a kid out of trouble.
We have always been transparent with her about sexuality and openly discuss topics with her as they emerge. I think my wife has had more of those recently than me, due to the gender gap. We know she will eventually be sexually active and want her to have as much info and advice from us as possible. She has developed a dirty humor streak already - makes me so proud.
It would not make any difference to me which way she decides to swing; as stated upthread, she will be protected from pregnancy either way. STDs and the emotional drama associated with relationships is actually harder, IMHO, to teach her how to handle and manage.
I raised a boy and a girl. I wasn’t 100% sure of my daughters sexual preference until she graduated high school. I kind of feel if you raise kids right and they have decent self esteem and are well grounded you don’t have to worry about the sex much. They will do what they do but most likely stay within some boundaries. They may not come out unscathed but usually come out ok.
If you have goddaughters and are guiding them in the faith, you may be concerned about whether they are following it?
Still no luck. Though I did learn the difference between superfetation and superfecundation. And got links to waaaaay too much weird porn.
I also did find the case of the woman who got her semen sample from a guy via oral sex, then transferred the semen into her vagina herself and got pregnant
So I’m sure it’s happened sometime in human history that one woman artificially inseminated another woman via sperm left in her by, oh let’s call him Early Man, but documenting that conclusively is difficult.
Gives a whole new meaning to “sloppy seconds”.
And if they were Native Americans it leads to an interesting take on the old joke about their children traditionally being named for the first thing the squaw … 
My eldest is bi. At least theoretically. She has a girlfriend and has never had a boyfriend. I’m pretty but not 100% sure that any sex she’s had has been by herself.
I have a 6th grader that is deep deep drama with a bunch of her other friends about getting boyfriends, breakups, angst and a host of other hetero drama that a 6th grader should be trying to be involved in.
To the OP. In my limited parental experience of three girls and no boys
a) pairing with another woman certainly reduces the parental anxiety about accidental pregnancy, and STD’s
b) 6th grade peer pressure/boy crazy drama is a lot worse than a 11th grader with a girl friend.
YMMV
