  • Confusion, disbelief and I’d probably freak out and cry 😬

    • At your age, yeah, that would be about when I was first having sex on a regular. If I got a girl pregnant then I think I'd try to act tough, strong, then have a panic attack in my bed eating fig newtons trying to figure out not what the hell am I going to do, but how am I going to ask my parents what the hell to do? They've done this, and I'm in way too deep. Also my relationship at the time was supremely fucked up. Come to think of it, if she had gotten pregnant at any point she probably would have never told me and just put it on her boyfriend or got an abortion. Hmm, could have happened, who knows, that's literally a lifetime ago. Yeah, freaking out and crying is a completely rational response.

  • If it's a boy abort

    • Wow, so you would wait until the second trimester to abort a baby based on gender? Why would you bother reproducing in the first place if part of your plan of reproduction is to eliminate one gender needed for reproduction in the first place? Forget I asked, to push your ideology on female children of course. I'm sure you believe this choice validates other women who have actually had a difficult rather than arbitrary decision to make during abortions as well. Damn, you're a real piece of shit.

    • Please sterilize yourself, you’re disgusting.

  • Disbelief. Panic. I'm sterile, pregnancy should NOT be possible

    • So basically another Maury "not the father" dance off the stage? I'd say a painful break-up as well, but not so much if someone is trying to put someone else's kid on you.

    • I have no intention of being a father, hence being sterilized AND using protection. No way in hell that baby would be mine, but I'll happily submit a DNA check to prove it lol

  • My virgin Asexual self: 🤨🤨. Nah, I might have a panic attack tbh, that kind of thing grosses me out. But also HOW THE FUCK

    • It's those public bathrooms, you have to be vigilant about putting that toilet paper on the seat... I was going to put lol then realized how fucked that would be if it actually happened from a previous conversation. Like the sentiment and experiencing that if sex, much less reproduction is something you don't want to experience.

  • I would only ever consider having unprotected sex/ a child with a woman I truly loved, so happiness

    • Damn, I wish I would have thought with the head that had my brain in it that much when I was 19, as it was I just ran through several dozen minefields and got very lucky.

  • I am 50 and I'm too old to be starting over again.

    • So sneaking plan B into a drink, or yourself out of the picture?

    • Nope, if you play you gotta pay.

  • These things happen.
    It's who that gets pregnant..

    • Ha, good point, I did not specify, if it's someone you met in passing at church or something "oh, congratulations, that's great!" and don't think much more on it unless you have old baby clothes and stuff you don't plan on using again.

    • I find strange , people do quick to have sex and get do surprised when she gets pregnant.

    • I thought that way until I got divorced at... 19, 20? I can't remember, just that I was so relieved we didn't have any kids together. That made me question greatly my selectivity in who I slept with and think the term mate was an appropriate one. Every form of birth control aside from sterilization has a failure rate. Granted I was still quick to sleep with women who were quick to sleep with me, but only if I could imagine a scenario of getting her pregnant and being ok with that if not desiring it.

  • I'm 18... and a virgin... so extreme confusion and then I'd laugh and take another test

    • Yeah, there are false positives, and false negatives like any test. Though false positives are rare with the test, also it would be strange for you to be taking one in the first place then... lol

    • Oh yes, definitely. But let's pretend the doctor just told me to take one for good measure... or something...

    • Hmm, then overnight you'd become a feminist icon because of your immaculate self-conception, and demonized at the same time "because it just can't be true". So, become an oddity for scientific study and a champion for causes whether you want to be or not, including the antithesis of those causes as an example of a "blatant lie". That would be more than extreme confusion, hell, it'd be less attention if I got pregnant thinking about that one in depth.

  • Fear, I'd make a great dad, but I don't want kids for lifestyle reasons.

    • Everyone has different desires and goals as far as what they want in life. I mean, there's no right or wrong answer on whether you want to reproduce or not. That's a personal decision. There was only one "right answer", what, 80 years ago, because there was a lack of effective birth control. Well, non-permanent birth control that is. You could always go get kicked in the crotch by a horse, male or female lol

    • I just want to live as nerdy as possible. Can't have a kid breaking all my computers, collectables, etc.

    • Well, you can, it's just very expensive. I had my 1 year old break the screen of a brand new laptop, that's 700 bucks gone (had the laptop less than 3 months). I just broke out the jb weld, salvaged as much of the display as I could, and try to ignore the 3/4" deadspace on the side. When the backlight or more pixels crap out, I'll buy a cheap monitor and a tablet. Use this one for gaming with my oldest, and the tablet is hopefully more durable, or at least cheaper. lol Kids break things, you just make sure they can't choke on them, and it works out. Can't blame them for being kids. Like getting out of the tub, then running outside to play in the ditch.

  • A combination of elated and, “oh shit”. However, in reality, nearly every women I meet has their tubes tied or entire uterus removed so if they became pregnant, ‘confusion’ and, “how is that even possible?” would likely be the result.

    • Well, to a large degree you are taking their word for that, like a woman is taking a man's if he says he had a vasectomy. I never trusted it when told me as much because of how difficult it is for women to get their tubes tied, like doctors that will do so when they're young and have no children. If they had to have a radical hysterectomy or something, that's a different story, but again with modern surgery one you have to take their word on. The only way to prove or disprove that would be a trip to the doc together, or if she did get pregnant. Much the same as a guy saying he had a vasectomy, unless she keeps a microscope at home lol

    • Older women with kids... pretty safe bet they are not kidding about their tubes being tied or having had their uterus removed. As for the under 30, unless they have had a few kids and were married at the time, the likelihood is indeed low. Whereas I have dated the under 30, anymore it is rare and the last one was still a fertile field.

  • I’d be terrified and depressed most likely. I’m no longer at the age where having more children is desirable.

    • Yeah, I hear that, while I want more kids right now, in another decade retirement rather than gathering the energy for a newborn, toddler, so on and so forth would be on my mind. Like having the house paid off and making sure my kids are set for a good start in that time frame, not signing on for an 18+ year refresh.

  • Just happy 😊😊🥰

    • I hope you get that news then :)

    • Well I need a husband first hahah but by then I hope so too!

  • Depends on my relationship with the father. If we weren't married, I'd suggest us getting married. If that's out of the question then abortion it is.

    • You would fit in wonderfully in the South, I suggested shotgun wedding to someone else, and she said I was putting the cart before the horse, which is valid. Still and all, there is a beautiful symmetry to a life being born from the threat of death from very many friends and relatives. Ahh, if only I could remember how many car rides went so similarly with so many of my sisters' ex-boyfriends. You know he's a family man when he already expects the ride. The keepers showed me their guns first and their intentions to marry. Well hell, I have nothing more to say except good luck, she learned from watching me! lol

    • Not sure what I just read

    • Well, that you can "suggest" marriage with overwhelming force in many parts of the US. If he doesn't take the suggestion seriously and you have to scoop, that's a valid option, but depending on your support network he might be unavailable. Like forever.

  • Supreme confusion given that I've been celibate for the last three years.

    • It's the next gen of fleshlights, the repopulator, more lifelike then ever! heh

    • Oh, then, delighted. I feel bad for my boss since I'll be going on paternity leave just after getting a new job and a paid move.

  • I'd propose to the girl. Because I'm a firm believer in marriage when I get comes to rising a child and not taking responsibility for my offspring is not an option for me.

    • Well, you, and every study done on single, and two parent homes say the same. On average children grow up to be more successful with both parents rather than a single parent environment... and out of that single parent environment single fathers convey a better chance of success for their children.

      I know it's absolute heresy to quote, you know, objective data. Marriage is decreasing, and everyone trying to raise a kid on their own is working at a disadvantage compared to married couples.

      www.pewresearch.org/.../

      It's going to be some years before all the data of the present is put together and we see how much Covid and other factors have affected relationships, mating, and families. I'd imagine not in any positive ways though.

    • i know that dude :D you're preaching to the choir. i majored in social science ;)

  • Ha... ha... Not happening while I am joblesd. No sex; no posibility for that.

    • So you'd be on Maury doing the "not the father" dance off the stage? heh

    • Definitely.

  • Assuming in this scenario i am supposed to be onevof the parents. I would be very confused as i have not had sex in last 9 months.

    • Well hell, that timing lines up to getting the news from someone signing your name on a birth certificate depending on your state, then a drop-serve subpoena. ... Maybe doing the not the father dance on Maury?

  • Big freak out and i would emotionally and mentally shut down. Probably would very strongly suggest to the girl to get an abortion

    If she wanted to keep it id want nothing to do with the kid

    As you can tell i am not wanting kids. Not sure if ever but certainly for the forseeable future its a big no. Maybe when im nearly 40 yes

    • Well, everyone feels differently there, I'm not knocking on you for that. Condoms get manufactured for a reason besides glowing in the dark lol

    • Also pill is valid as well

    • If I ever thought that I would never have a kid with any particular woman I was sleeping with, like in no way could I see that turning out well, I didn't trust that. Or condoms at her place for that matter. Being picky about partners has saved me a lot of grief over the years... and made me wish I had been before I was 20 lol

  • I be very happy

    • I'm wishing you the best there, the greatest commitment I was ready for at 18 was 4 years to the green machine. We're all different in how we mature going around the sun though. Hell, I don't think my first marriage even lasted 2 full years... but my life was pretty messed up then far more than simply being immature.

    • i see, well I do hope whatever happens to you resolves it self

    • Oh, I'm a different man now than I was 16 years ago. As are you, which was the point I was trying to make. I was a dumbass lol

  • She cheated on me.

    • If it isn't too much to ask, why would that be your first assumption?

    • I got a vascetomy so I am shooting blanks.

    • Ahh, yeah, that makes sense than, add another not the father dance to Maury then! lol
