Always ask for the child support up front. The funny part is, as a public defender I also cover the child support contempt calendar (which I have lovingly re-named “deadbeatdad court”.) I’ve got a couple clients who are there after some very regretable one night stands. Point being, I can tell any future suitors in great detail exactly what they can expect in exchange for getting _full feeling_ during sex. ---

You’re right. You’re doing so well here, and I’m clearly out of my element. First dweeb and now twerp? When did the dope become the school playground at recess? I miss the days when you could call someone a goatfelcher and have some smattering of pride in yourself. ---

Because twerp was so hard hitting. But please continue posting. It will only work in your favor. It’s so sad to see reading comprehension is no longer in vogue, either. ---

Looking back, my chosen retort should’ve been “so how much child support should I be asking for then?” According to my cousin who does sleep around, the proper response is “Well, I don’t care to have your brat.” Then pull a large vibrator out of your nightstand and tell him to get lost. Seriously, I can’t imagine wanting to fuck a guy that whined like a little bitch about putting on a condom. It would completely kill the mood. ---

> [@aldiboronti](#): > > God forbid I should sit in moral judgment on my friends’ lives, I probably wouldn’t have any left! (And conversely, God forbid they should sit in judgment on mine). When stupid people are vomiting their DNA into the gene pool of society, they’re making it into society’s problem. People like this guy who are too stupid to grasp the simple cause and effect of “Unprotected sex = Baby” (or worse yet in this case, twins) fully deserve to be ridiculed and shamed for not being able to grasp something as simple as contraception. That is the only slim hope we have for not turning into a real life Idiocracy. ---

> [@ZPG\_Zealot](#): > > Seriously, I can’t imagine wanting to fuck a guy that whined like a little bitch about putting on a condom. It would completely kill the mood. I have to agree with you. Any guy who wouldn’t WANT to wear a condom outside of a serious monogamous relationship where kids are welcome or he is absolutely sure of the woman using a reliable contraceptive method is a total fool. How can these guys put the decision of whether they end up with a kid or not into the hands of some woman that they may not even be seriously dating? It’s stupid, and I find stupid people completely unattractive. ---

> [@DiosaBellissima](#): > > Well, I only did it 1: when I was on the pill 2: with guys in a slightly longer term relationship. I most certainly wasn’t passively trying to get pregnant, but figured my bases were covered enough that I was willing to risk it. It was never ever a feelings thing (“omg, I loooove him and neeeeed him to be ooooone with meeeee!”), definitely more a heat of the moment thing. I wanted to fuck and didn’t want to sit there and argue about whether or not they’d put a condom on. Still, looking back, that’s never a good decision. Ever ever. I should have worded the speculation better. I figure there are a small number of women who would willingly not take emergency contraception. The idiot never gave specific details but I have to assume she knew that in at least one of the times they had sex, he finished sans condom. I could be wrong; maybe she really didn’t know each and every time. ---

A paternity test should sort matters out once and for all. **Kasuo** , how are you going to feel if it turns out he is not the father? I can’t help but feel that you’re jumping to a conclusion here. Yes, it’s a reasonable conclusion. Yes, he probably is the father. But until a paternity test is done, it’s not definite. ---
