Obese Women Have Less Sex, More Unplanned Pregnancies

According to a new study released by the British Medical Journal, obese women (with a BMI of 30 or higher) have less sex, but more unplanned pregnancies.

Not only that, but the study found that obese women are less likely to use consistent real contraceptives such as the Pill, and more likely to use less reliable methods, such as withdrawl.

It’s not just obese women either – also obese men. The study showed that obese men were 10 times more likely to catch an STD than those who are not obese.

What’s the correlation between body size and pregnancy rate? More importantly, why did CBS choose this picture for the article?

Some sort of yoga pose? A strong gust of wind? WHY?

Ladies of any size, remember that doctors are a wealth of information, and when you see yours, please ask about birth control, even if you aren’t sexually active.

A roundup of funny, interesting, weird, thoughtful, and informative links from Dr. Sangfroid.

  • Sectional Sofas – Do you ever get totally into looking at furniture for a house you don’t own? No? Just me? Okay.
  • Alien Invasion – A collection of images by Dmitry Maximov of aliens invading Earth.
  • Polish Woman Dies Because She’s Pregnant - and the doctor refuses to operate on her because he was afraid to hurt the baby…which led to both the woman and consequently, her baby dieing. Way to go, “conscience clause”.
  • Cherry Culture Sells Near-Expired Make Up – Okay, I can’t confirm this and it is a year old, but I’ve heard a lot of bad reviews of cherryculture.com. Mostly slow shipping, bad CS, and cracked make up which I can live with..but the near-expired make up is just gross and I don’t think I’ll be shopping there anymore. Ladies, please check your makeup’s expiration dates!

Obama Funds Abstinence Education

Dear President Obama,

It was really awesome a year ago when you decided to cut funding of abstinence-only sex education and instead put that money toward teen-pregnancy prevention. It was definitely a progressive step in integrating the values of waiting till you’re older to have children and the values of teenagers are going to fuck no matter what.

But recently you decided to backtrack and put a whopping $250 million into abstinence-only education.

What exactly is abstinence-only education? Defined by the board of health, it is “teach[ing] that abstinence from sexual activity is the only certain way to avoid out-of-wedlock pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and other associated health problems.”

In other words, children and teenagers are not given any actual information on sex. Just a stern look accompanied with ‘Don’t fucking do it, okay!?’ Also, its a load of bull. Hey it’s great if you don’t want to bone until you’re married, really, it’s completely okay and respectable.  But it’s not everyone’s moral beliefs/cup of tea. The straight up reality is TEENAGERS ARE GOING TO HAVE SEX. It is not that hard to figure out tab A to slot B. The internet itself provides endless resources for how to have sex (and unfortunately not enough resources on how to be smart about it).

By not teaching children about exactly how STDs spread, what condoms are, different forms of birth control (and how some are more safe or more harmful), and how pregnancy actually works, all it is doing is creating a mess of lies and misconceptions. When I was in comprehensive sex-ed in middle school, it did NOT make me want to jump into the sack (as so many pro-abstinence education people believe it does). Learning about the real risks, implications, and necessary precautions that came with sex only made me realize that it was a pretty big deal and I was too young for it.

Knowledge is power, people. By depriving children and teenagers of life-saving information that they so desperately need, you are only creating bigger problems. The more you know, the less likely you are to do something stupid.

In the above linked article, it notes a January 2009 study which found that “religious teens who take virginity pledges are less likely to use condoms or birth control when they become sexually active, and just as likely to have sex before marriage as their peers who didn’t take pledges.”

Why the heck are you pouring money into a system that has no evidence of ever working, Obama? It’s like saying, “well making children eat bananas everyday for lunch will make them forget about sweets and thus end child obesity.”

One good part is, $75 million will be put toward “personal responsibility education” which includes abstinence and contraception teaching. It’s a start, at least.

Yes, children should be encouraged to delay sexual interactions, definitely. But if you haven’t noticed, teenagers aren’t exactly known for doing what they’re told. Preventative measures, people. Do you really want your government restricting life-saving information?

The Rape Blame Game

By on March 12, 2010
This entry is filed under News and tagged , , , , . | 16 Comments

A disturbing survey from London has revealed that a large portion of women believe that the victims of rape are to blame. The survey, conducted on 1,000 people (mostly women) between the ages of 18-50 but mostly young adults between 18-24 years, showed the following:

  • Almost 3 quarters believe the victim should take ‘some responsibility’ if she got into bed with the attacker before the rape.
  • One third believed that the victim was at least partially to blame if she was dressed provocatively or had accepted a drink from the attacker.
  • More than half believe there are circumstances where the victim should accept blame.
  • Over 24% believe the blame falls partially on the victim if she had conversation with the attacker before.
  • One in eight women surveyed blamed the victim if she was dancing provocatively.

Ah, the “She Had It Coming!” mentality of some of these people. You would think that with these women blaming rape victims so easily, they’d be a pretty safe bunch, eh? The survey took it a step further and began not only asking participants their opinions on rape victim circumstances, but on the participants own actions.

  • Nearly half of those surveyed reported that they have walked home alone on side streets.
  • One in five admitted to getting into a cab without seeing if it was licensed.
  • One in five also admitted to having been so drunk before that they have lost their memory.
  • 40% of the women surveyed also admitted to having been in a situation that could have resulted in forced sex.

40%? Now I’m sure that at least some of those women tie into the same ones placing blame on the victim. How can the blame be placed on one woman in a ‘possible rape situation’ but not on another, simply because one ended up being raped and the other didn’t? Hypocrisy, apparently.

How sad is this? Let’s look at some facts, ladies:

  • There is no evidence on why certain people are raped. Rape victims can be any age, race, gender, height, religion, weight, and social status. It’s not just ‘sluts in short skirts who drink too much’. Its also the Catholic mother of 2 living in the suburbs. The 15-year-old boy just starting high school. The grandmother who locks all her doors.
  • Rape is about power, not sex, which is why anyone can be raped, and why rapists aren’t just ‘ugly creepy guys who can’t get laid’. The handsome basketball player who gets all the ladies is just as likely to rape someone as the guy who’s never had a girlfriend.
  • Simply because a woman is drunk, or wearing a skirt, doesn’t mean she is ‘more likely’ to get raped because of the ‘easier access’. Many rapists use brute force, threats, or weapons when going after someone. If a woman is wearing a short skirt and gets cornered in the bathroom by a man with a knife, is she more to blame? No, because there is no evidence, ever, suggesting that the rapist would not have gone in there if she was a sober nun.
  • Rape is defined as any form of sexual intercourse that one participant did not agree to, or was not able to agree to. In other words, no means no. Rape has nothing to do with any previous actions of the victim.

Advice Column: Dealing with the Girlfriend

Dear Dr. Sangfroid,

Recently, my 16-year-old son got his first girlfriend, a 17-year-old girl who goes to high school with him. While I am proud that my son is beginning to explore romance, I do have some issues.  I am concerned that they may be having sex as sometimes he locks his bedroom door when they’re together. I am very against this, as we are a strong Christian household. I am weary of this new girl, and I would like to know how to calm my nerves while keeping my son safe. Can you help me?

Sincerely,
Worried Mother.

Dear Worried Mother-

You have every right to be concerned for your son’s well-being. A man’s first girlfriend is a big step into adulthood, and you should be there to travel the journey with him.

It’s important that during this journey, you keep your son safe and prepared. Remember: All women are whores, no matter what, and as soon as your son falls asleep that girl is going to tie him up and have unprotected sex with him while using your $60 Clinque lotion as a lubricant. To prevent this, you must create clever traps to expose the heathen woman before she taints your son’s body with her whore mouth.

A good way to do this is to locate your son’s condom stash and drive a holy cross through each one. This should remind him that Jesus is always watching. Another way to remind him that Jesus is always watching is to paint a mural on his ceiling. Of Jesus watching him. With you next to Jesus, also watching. You must both look very stern in this mural, as if you’re always above him saying, “Now what would Jesus do??” and Jesus is saying, “I wouldn’t be doing THAT. Gross.”

It’s also important that you bond with this girl, too, in case your son ends up marrying her. This can be difficult, as women bond in different ways then men do. Women usually bond over bathroom visits together, complaining about boyfriends, and breaking diets together. Men bond over beer, high fives, and sports.

You must remember that this girl is also a COUGAR. A cougar is an older woman who prays on younger men, sort of like the pedophile of the womanworld, but better. Unlike a younger woman who sleeps with older men (to fill the void of the love daddy never gave her), a cougar goes after young guys to establish dominance. Therefore, the best way to “bond” with this girl is to show her that you too are a predatory master. Do this by dating someone as old as your son, and going to hip keggars with your son, his girlfriend, and your new boyfriend.

Lastly, if my advice has come too late and your son has already had sex with her, then in God’s eyes they are married. Remember, shotgun weddings are always an option, and at least it means he’s not gay!

Keepin’ it cool,
-Dr. Sangfroid
