Status Updates From Ejaculate Responsibly: A Wh...

I really enjoy this book so far. My mom bought it and she read it and said our family needs to read it. I definitely agree that men should take responsibility for unwanted pregnancies and take the necessary actions to prevent that from occurring. Men don’t have to go to the doctor and try and get the perfect birth control, which has many side effects, they just have to walk to a dollar general and get condoms.

“Men cause all unwanted pregnancies.”

“[W]omen enjoying sex does not cause unwanted pregnancies and abortion. What causes unwanted pregnancies and abortion? *Men* enjoying sex and having irresponsible ejaculations.”

“A woman experiencing pleasure and orgasm has never caused a pregnancy.”

“As far as researchers know, women’s orgasms exist for pleasure only.”

“In first-time hookups with other women, they orgasm 64 percent of the time. But in first-time hookups with men, they orgasm only 7 percent of the time. So we know that when we ignore the experience of women’s pleasure during sex, the problem isn’t the women’s ability to orgasm.”

“When men choose to have condom-less sex, they are putting a woman’s body, health, social status, job, economic status, relationships, and even her life at risk in order to experience a few minutes of *slightly* more pleasure. … Would men really choose a few moments of slightly more pleasure over risking a woman’s whole life?”

“According to conventional portrayals of the sex act, it’s not over until the man ejaculates, and once he ejaculates, it’s over. We’re focused on the man’s experience, not the woman’s.”

“The pleasure men experience during sex—arousal and orgasm—are just presented as part of the basic mechanics of sex” while the clitoris isn’t even mentioned at all.

“Society teaches that the man’s pleasure is the purpose and priority of sex.”
