I Had a Carefree Sex Life. The Next Generation Will Have Fear. I had the privilege of coming of age when sex-positive women had more options. That’s why we need to fight the movement that equates “sex” with “shame.” (BARF)

I’ve never had an abortion. But I’ve had a lot of sex. And when I’ve been asked what my “number” is by friends or lovers, I laughed it off because I hadn’t ever considered counting a complete tally of partners.

But today I realize the privilege that comes with not really knowing how many different men I’ve slept with. That’s because I lived during a time when I was lucky enough to be able to separate my sex life from the rest of me. To put sex into a little box that I only accessed when the time was right. I was not weighed down by fears of pregnancy. I was bolstered by rights that I knew would protect me should things not go as planned.

Now, I recognize that the number of sex partners I’ve had defines an era and a mentality that we are all at risk of losing. I’ve been lucky enough to have slept with at least 17 men in my 41 years of life, and I think it might mean something positive that I’m not sure if there were more.

Why keep track? Because if it doesn’t matter to me, it shouldn’t matter at all. That’s the freedom and privilege of having had access to abortion and contraception for my entire adult life.

Talking about abortion access must come in many forms. This has now become a war, and battles for regaining our constitutional rights as women must become manifest on the streets, on the page, and in conversation.

Why do you think you’ve never knocked up someone? If you were out there getting it on there’s a good chance you did.

For a minute, I thought this article was from the Bee. But then, I saw the sign...so it was true...

ConservaTeen is now 20 and he has a 21 year old gf. They are waiting for marriage. They are also waiting to finish school.

Author didn’t mention her std status. Many of the STD’s can show no symptoms in women. Included is syphilis, gonorrhea, HPV, HSV-II, Chlamydia. All of them if untreated may lead to serious irrevocable damage.
To all potential partners of author....eff at your own risk.
The author clearly has poor impulse control and memory. So she may have forgotten her signs and symptoms of STD.

I'm certain her number can be found on a bunch of public bathroom walls.

Starting with: For a GREAT TIME, call...

She’s 41, apparently unmarried, and unlikely to ever marry a guy who becomes aware of this article. In a few years she will not find herself desired by any guy she may find desirable. She has missed her window of opportunity for marriage, and certainly missed out on children.

There is a reason why successful societies throughout history advocated for virginity before marriage, and young marriage.

OMG. Disgusting.

Everything she says is bad, is good. Everything good, is bad.

That is the way libs are, anyway. Twisting everything so bad things are good.

I’ll be happy if people stop screwing around. It really is a massive root to evil, and I don’t just mean “abortion”. Free “love” has really majorly screwed up society.

Whether it is the homosexual defining their life on ejaculation opportunities as the highest goal, the “player” of either sex with enumeration of conquests or orgasms it all boils down to basing your life upon the actions of your genital organs alone.

Maybe she was a victim of PedoIsland. I mean, maybe, just maybe she was groomed by Jeffery Epstein and G. Maxwell.

Yup, piker. If she started in her early teens that is about 1.2 a year, give or take.

I’d say she is attractive, and a she.

Let’s be honest. Not simply swayed by her views.

However, I’d like to place judgement upon all the men who write stupid articles using the same parameters.

I wonder if one of her men was Bill Clinton!

Nah, if she had Billy Boy, she would have committed suicide by now, with a gunshot in the back of her head...
