melloworca6 said:If anyone is still out there claiming that a woman can't get pregnant after peeing, or that it lowers her chances, I suggest they take a long look at their own anatomy 😁 and then burn their college diplomas to do everyone else a favor. ☕

And honestly, anyone can graduate from college these days. 😁

Nobody, and I mean nobody, said pregnancy becomes impossible. The risk definitely drops by maybe 15-30%.
If we weren't people without degrees (who clearly don't even know our own bodies), it would be hard to understand how things work. 🤷

As for that... I have no comment. My only thought is that you should face a standardized test, an entrance exam, or something similar... and just prove yourself to everyone. Our little genius. 😘

Sophia Wells72 said:This story keeps getting better. 🍿

We're in trouble if people like that actually find jobs. 🤣 College didn't teach them the basics, and apparently, they don't even know their own organs.

My answer to you is already written above
steelseal said:I don't even understand this sentence... someone with a degree who doesn't even know American English 😕

As far as I know, sperm has a goal: get through the vagina, reach the uterus, and finally hit the first third of the fallopian tubes.

Or maybe I don't know.

Regarding the bold part... American? It was written correctly above. Okay. Capitalization isn't my strength, but a smart person would get the point. 🤣

And the other part... bacteria and sperm having "goals"? Good for them if they have brains the size of yours. 😘

Best regards.

placidlynx26 said:Nobody—and I mean absolutely nobody—said you can't get pregnant. But yeah, the risk drops by maybe 15-30%, for sure.
If we weren't such clueless idiots without degrees (people who don't even know their own anatomy), it would be hard to figure out how we all ended up coming from the exact same place.🤷

And by the way... I have no comment. The only thought spinning in my head is that you should just face your finals, your entrance exams, or whatever third thing is waiting for you... and show everyone what you've got. Our little genius.😘

My dear Micica, don't you worry about my finals or my entrance exams. 😉

Also, please, explain to us "stupid" and "backward" people how exactly writing after sex reduces the chance of pregnancy. Use simple language and descriptions so that even us underprivileged folks can actually wrap our heads around it. 😢

placidlynx26 said:unless we’re all just a bunch of idiots who don't even know our own anatomy without a college degree, it's pretty hard to imagine escaping the same cycle over and over. 🤷

And as for the other part... bacteria and sperm apparently have "goals" too?? Good luck to them if they actually have a brain the size of yours. 😘

I mean, let's be real, babies were being born way before anyone ever dreamed up a medical degree. ☕
Even today, you've got OB-GYNs out there actually doing the work and delivering kids.

Sure, sperm have a job to do—fertilizing an egg, right? Isn't that one of those basic things they teach you in school? (Honestly, I'm not even sure which level of intellect I'm talking to here: a high schooler, someone with a PhD, or some third category entirely 🤷).

But hey, don't worry about my brain. 😍
Even this little thing is smarter than you think. 🙄

placidlynx26 said:Well, nobody—and I mean absolutely nobody—ever explicitly stated that getting pregnant would be impossible... though, I suppose one could argue the risk is significantly diminished. I’d say we’re looking at a solid 15 to 30%—at the very least.

🤣 You really just won't let this go, will you? No matter what happens—not even by a long shot.
Quote:
Well, I suppose my response to you is already sitting right there above—written just like everything else td>

An answer? 🤣
Well, you still haven't actually provided a single coherent answer to any of the questions—let alone offered an actual argument to back them up. Everything you’ve managed to serve us so far is just pure trolling involving gun imagery and insulting people by implying they aren't nearly as smart as you are.

You really are a legend—you actually went through the trouble of getting that degree, and now you’re already worrying about seniority? 🙏So, I suppose the next "argument" in this sequence requires you to have a top-tier gynecologist in the family tree. Since the rest of us mere mortals—whose IQ probably matches our shoe size—are clearly struggling to grasp your logic, why don't you be a dear and explain this epic masterpiece of a blunder to us?
Are you forgetting that sperm—which results from... The issue of damaged wet pipes—or what we might call plumbing integrity failures—is one of those domestic headaches that seems to strike exactly when you aren't looking. It’s rarely a simple fix, either; it’s almost always a cascading series of inconveniences. I suppose if you're dealing with a leak or structural degradation in your drainage lines, it isn't just about the immediate mess on the floor—it’s the potential for mold, the creeping rot in the subflooring, and that lingering, damp smell that seems to defy any amount of air freshener. One might think it's just a matter of replacing a few gaskets, but in many cases, especially in older American homes, you're looking at a much more systemic failure of the piping itself. It’s a tedious process, honestly—dealing with contractors, waiting on parts, and praying that the damage hasn't already migrated into the drywall. If you're currently staring at a puddle under the sink, I’d suggest being quite methodical about it; don't just patch the surface and hope for the best—that's usually how you end up with a much larger bill from a plumber down the road. I can reach the area just in front of the vaginal opening....like a bar, I suppose. Bacteria. ???

Do you honestly believe that sperm functions like bacteria—that even the tiny amount left behind might somehow... well, you know? I suppose we’re looking at what lies ahead—though, if history is any indication, it might just be more of the same. I guess we'll see. I suppose we have to address this—the idea of some sort of supernatural, alien force essentially vacuuming its way into the reproductive organs... launching an assault on the cervix and the uterine body, and so much more. It’s a heavy thought, I guess. 🧐 Imagine—if you can even wrap your head around such a ridiculous concept—that they could somehow "infect" the egg with bacteria, traveling deep enough to actually reach and fertilize the egg cell. And then there’s this nonsense about damage to the urethra causing sperm to end up somewhere else... good grief, what on earth are you talking about? What could those two things possibly have to do with one another? Besides, we are talking about a virgin here the entire time. 🤦

Edit: We aren't going to tolerate any more insults. Honestly, resorting to personal attacks just because you've run out of actual arguments—well, that’s just plain pathetic.

You still haven't given a single coherent answer to any question, let alone provided an actual argument. All you've offered is trolling with guns and insulting people by acting like they aren't on your level.

You're a legend. You finally finished your degree and now you're already talking about seniority. 🙏I guess you need a top-tier OB-GYN in the family to pull off an "argument" like that. Since the rest of us have an IQ that matches our shoe size, why don't you explain this absolute gem of a take to the common folk?

Do you actually think sperm works like bacteria? Like by some miracle, even that tiny amount left behind will just somehow cause an issue? Ahead. Some supernatural alien force sucking everything into a void. Attacking the neck and the uterine body. And then more. 🧐 Imagine trying to "infect" an egg like some kind of bacteria, going so deep that you actually reach the egg cell to fertilize it. It’s ridiculous. And this talk about damage to the urethra causing sperm to end up somewhere else—good grief, what are you even talking about? What does one thing have to do with the other? Besides, we're talking about a virgin here. 🤦

Edit: We aren't putting up with the insults anymore. Bringing this down to personal attacks just because you've run out of actual arguments is pathetic.

Look, Micica... first off, stop calling me a guy. It’s definitely not a compliment. Other than that, I never met a single male nurse during my time at college. 🙂

Yeah, sperm can move through damaged tissue toward the uterus, much like how bacteria behave. That was the second point, right? 🙂

And finally... it’s pretty obvious you aren't actually reading this whole thread. One of your fans already mentioned the possibility of damage down below. 😂 It’s even more obvious than that: this whole thread isn't just about the girl from the first post.

Just one more kiss before I head to bed. Goodnight. 😘

It’s actually pretty funny reading about how much high schoolers seem to know about sex these days. Honestly, it’s no wonder that every single... oops. I won't go any further. This is getting awkward. ☕

melloworca6 said:Listen, Micica, don't worry about my graduation or my entrance exams. 😉

Also, please explain to us slow learners how writing things down after sex supposedly lowers pregnancy risk. Use simple language. Make it easy enough for people like us to actually understand. 😢

Did anyone ever actually tell you that you were lacking? 🙂

steelseal said:Kids were being born long before medical degrees even existed. ☕
Even today, you have OB-GYNs delivering babies.

So yeah, sperm fertilizes an egg. Isn't that what they teach at college? I'm not sure which group I'm talking to here: high schoolers, degree holders, or some third category. 🤷

And don't worry about my brain. 😍
It's small, but it works. 🙄

My OB-GYN assistants help me out a lot. Every time I tell them... they apply pressure to the abdomen to assist during delivery. ☕
If you personally know a gynecologist who handles births, let me know. I'd like to meet one like that. 🤷

placidlynx26 said:Look, Micica... first off, please stop addressing me with masculine pronouns—it really doesn't do me any favors. Aside from that, I can say with absolute certainty that I didn't meet a single nursing student during my time at college. 🙂

Well, I guess it turns out you’re a woman. 🙂
I have to say, I’m feeling a bit disappointed—I was actually hoping you were just pulling my leg for a second there. But now you're telling me you're heading off to college too? Honestly, I didn't see that coming. 🙏 Make up your mind—are you actually in, or what? High school—that whole era of life.College degree or just staying home to look after the family? It really comes down to what you value more—career versus domestic life.
Well, it’s certainly possible—though I suppose we should be careful about how we frame it—that sperm cells might behave somewhat like bacteria in terms of their ability to penetrate certain barriers. It is a nuanced biological reality, I guess, but they definitely possess that kind of migratory potential. Through damaged tissue. Good grief... that felt like a whole different lifetime, didn't it? 🙂

🙏 And what exactly do you mean by "damaged tissue"? Where is this tissue located, and which specific pathways—if any—is it traveling through? I suppose I’m just trying to wrap my head around the physiological specifics here. 🤣
And finally... it’s pretty obvious you aren't actually reading this entire thread—I mean, really absorbing it. Someone from your little fan club already pointed out the possibility of damage further down in the discussion. 😂 It’s even more obvious than that—this whole thread isn't just about the girl mentioned in the original post...

🤣 She was going on about bacteria and how they actually spread—but what about you? What’s your take on fertilization? 😱Honestly, please—just stop. I don't know how you can even show your face after dropping gems like those.
And the conversation just kept looping back to the girl from the initial post—mostly because you decided to weigh in on her situation.
It’s honestly quite entertaining—in a dark sort of way—to read about how much high schoolers seem to know about sex these days. They have this strangely expansive knowledge base. It’s hardly surprising that every single... well, actually, I think I'll stop there. I'm feeling a bit embarrassed just thinking about it.

Yeah, honestly—we’re in the exact same boat here. 😘
And my fans as well.

Sophia Wells72 said:Do you seriously think sperm works like bacteria? Like, by some freak alien force, the tiny bit that lands outside the vagina just gets sucked inside, starts an all-out assault on the cervix and uterus, and then—following the whole bacterial model—goes even 🧐deeper to "infect" the fallopian tubes until it finally hits an egg and fertilizes it? [/COLOR]

Oh come on, Sophia Wells72, it’s pretty obvious she thinks "outside the vagina" and "inside the vagina" are basically the same thing. 🙂

BTW, I'm a fan 😍 go Silvery, go image

placidlynx26 said:And lastly... clearly you aren't reading this thread properly... because one of your fans already mentioned the possibility of damage down 😂there.

Of course it's possible. Especially with rough sex. A friend of mine went a little too hard once and ended up with a UTI, so she had to take antibiotics. But that whole thing has nothing to do with pregnancy.

Now I feel bad. I actually thought you were just joking around. Now you're heading to college too? 🙏 Decide if you want to be high school, college, or a nanny.

🙏 And what damaged tissue are we talking about? Where is this tissue located? What channels is it traveling through? 🤣

🤣 She was talking about bacteria and how they spread, and you? About conception 😱? Please, stop. You should be embarrassed after saying things that ridiculous.
And the conversation continued regarding the girl in the first post because you brought her up.

Yeah, seriously, us too. 😘
My fans too.

I really feel bad that you're labeling people based on other threads. Even worse, I pity you because this link shows how much you think you're smart when you clearly have no clue what my post was even saying... quoting: "who says this handle belongs to one person"...
Just so you know how sorry I am... 😢 but whatever. At least we had a good laugh. 😂😂

copperraven53 said:Come on, Sophia Wells72, it's obvious to her that 'in front of the vagina' and 'inside the vagina' mean the exact same thing. 🙂

Of course it's possible. Especially with rough sex. A friend of mine went a bit overboard once and ended up with a bladder infection. Had to take antibiotics. But the pregnancy part has nothing to do with it with it .

So you still believe that damage to the mucosal lining of the septum separating the uterus from the bladder has absolutely nothing to do with pregnancy... that is truly bottom-of-the-barrel behavior. 🍿

-It's no wonder every other pregnant woman is some arrogant high schooler who didn't bother learning basic human biology in middle school. ☕

Good God!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone claiming to be a "receiver" clearly hasn't a clue about how this works:

-the bladder empties through the urethra

-sperm travels toward the uterus via the vagina

-the urethra and the vagina are not the same organ

-the bladder and the uterus are not the same organ

-it is physically impossible to conceive through the urethra, since the urethra leads to the bladder, and babies aren't formed in the bladder

-preventing pregnancy by urinating is an impossibility, because urine exits the urethra; it doesn't somehow flow backward from the urethra into the vagina to kill off sperm

-the bladder and the uterus are not connected

-nothing from the bladder can reach the uterus, just as nothing from the uterus can enter the bladder

I suppose I have to ask: which part of this is unclear? Does anyone actually have an anatomy or embryology textbook that suggests otherwise? I would love a reference.

placidlynx26 said:t
-it’s hardly surprising that every other pregnant woman is just some arrogant high schooler who skipped eighth-grade biology.☕

It really isn't surprising, given that when they are being "received," they are taught that the bladder has some mystical connection to pregnancy, and that urinating acts as contraception.

And yes, even if a man doesn't ejaculate deep inside the vaginal canal, there remains a small, ALMOST NEGLIGIBLE chance that sperm could find its way to where it needs to go, potentially leading to pregnancy.

I suppose I should cite the book *Hirsi or a virgin in a cage*, which explores various struggles faced by Muslim women. It includes a specific instance of a girl who actually became pregnant despite being sewn shut. The young man couldn't achieve penetration because of the stitching, but he pressed against her and ejaculated externally; since a tiny opening still exists to allow for menstrual flow, the sperm managed to reach the vagina, resulting in pregnancy. She told her gynecologist that it was impossible because she was a virgin—and technically, she was still sewn shut—yet she was pregnant nonetheless. This whole situation took place in the Netherlands.

Yeah... that catches me off guard too. ☕️

Kimberly Richardson56 said:God !!!!!!!!!!

Someone claiming they’re a receiver doesn't get this:

The bladder just keeps draining through... Urethra.

Sperm travels to the uterus through... vagina

The urethra and the vagina aren't the same thing. They're different organs.

The bladder and the uterus aren't the same organ. Simple as that.

It’s physically impossible to get pregnant through the urethra. The urethra leads straight to the bladder, and babies aren't made in the bladder.

It’s impossible to prevent pregnancy by urinating. Urine comes out of the urethra; it doesn't go back in. There's no way for urine to flow upstream from the urethra into the vagina to kill off sperm once it's already left the body.

The bladder and the uterus aren't connected.

Nothing from the bladder can get into the uterus. Just like nothing from the uterus can get into the bladder. It's impossible.

What exactly isn't clear here? And does anyone know of an anatomy or embryology textbook that actually claims otherwise? I need a specific reference.

Almost there. You're spot on about everything else. My only real concern is that urinating actually lowers the chances of conception. 🤷 🤷 🤷
Yeah... anatomy isn't going to do much for you there. It mostly just describes the structure. You're better off focusing on postpartum and maternal nursing. 😍 Oh my God, I love that book. :)

Kimberly Richardson56 said:Look, even if a man doesn't finish deep inside, there's still a tiny, practically negligible chance that sperm ends up exactly where it needs to be and she gets pregnant.

I’m looking at the book *Hirsi or a virgin in a cage*. It covers various issues facing Muslim women. There's one specific example of a girl who ended up pregnant even though she had been sewn shut. The guy couldn't actually penetrate her because of the stitching, but he pressed against her perineum to climax. Since there's still a small opening to allow for menstrual flow, the sperm managed to reach the vagina. She ended up pregnant. When she saw the gynecologist, she insisted it was impossible because she was still technically a virgin and remained sewn shut. But she was pregnant. This all took place in the Netherlands.

My book is listed above. Read it, man. Cheers.

steelseal said:So now you're suddenly a woman? 🙄

You aren't in any position to be editing someone else's comments. Besides, I have a constitutional right to call myself whatever I want. 🤷 Something unclear? My bad.

I'm done, guys. They won. I'm heading off now to go have a baby... one that I hope actually learns what they're supposed to be doing after all the sexy stuff is over. 🤣
Stop putting up with people who feel the need to hand out titles they haven't earned. I'm out of here. Leaving this handle for the younger sisters and brothers. :*
And finally... I’m genuinely glad you guys are going through my stats and post history. At least someone out there is actually spending their own time on me. 🙂)

Ugh, my little girl isn't exactly going to "learn" how to handle sex, so if she just drinks her fill, there's no way she's getting pregnant... 😁

Hey there! Big shoutout to everyone! 😁

yeah right... anatomy isn't going to save you here. It'll just give you a description of the parts. go grab a postpartum nursing textbook😍 oh my god, I love that book :)

Honestly, it wouldn't hurt to crack open an anatomy book and actually read it for once. Maybe then you'll realize that women don't have the urethra and the vagina in the exact same spot. You can pee five hundred times after sex if you want, but it won't matter because they aren't the same hole.

Or better yet, take a look at your own body. Grab a mirror and study up since clearly nothing else is working. 😉

And God help me if I ever end up working with a "brilliant" midwife like you—heads would be rolling. If you’re a woman with a degree and you still don't understand female anatomy, I shudder to think what else you missed in college. Anyway, I really hope our paths never cross. 😁

Alright, let's take a breather and get serious for a second. I know—we haven’t dealt with this kind of trolling before, and honestly, we all had a good laugh, but even the fun eventually reaches its limit. It's time to pivot back to reality.

So, placidlynx26, I’m asking you—please—stop the trolling. At some point, someone might actually try to take you seriously (though hopefully, that day never comes), and it would be a shame if that happened. Just keep in mind that in this section of the forum, we have zero tolerance for trolling, and if things get "spicy" enough to include insults, a ban is pretty much inevitable. This has gone way past the point of being funny, and frankly, nobody here is enjoying it anymore. If you think you're getting one over on people, you aren't—you're really just digging your own hole deeper. Do you honestly believe an old lady would act like this or try to act like she's some sort of intellectual heavyweight?

Furthermore, if you continue to insist—and I should clarify, nobody believes you—that two or three different people are using this account, we’ll have no choice but to issue a permanent ban, since sharing accounts is strictly against the rules here on the US forum. That goes for any clones you might decide to open up, too.

That’s all I have to say. I hate being the one to kill the vibe, but once this is settled, we can get back to our usual business. 😉

There are at least three doctors mentioned in this PDF, so since everyone else seems content to just stand around cracking jokes about contraception through urination, how about this:

placidlynx26 said:so you're still insisting that damage to the mucosal lining of the septum—the part separating the uterus from the bladder—has absolutely nothing to do with pregnancy...


...it would be quite helpful if one of those three gentlemen actually stepped up and shared their thoughts, assuming they feel inclined to do so.

I’ve gone through every single word of this thread, and honestly, I was laughing so hard I actually teared up.
I have a small favor to ask of placidlynx26: would you mind walking me through the basics of female anatomy and how everything functions? Only if it isn't too much trouble, of course.

Sorry to just barge in here like this, but I’ve been spiraling a bit and I need to know if it’s actually possible for a girl to get pregnant if she was a virgin and I didn't even finish inside her? We had sex, and then just two days later she was supposed to get her period... but it hasn't shown up yet and now she's eight days late...
