Apparently, using contraceptives turns couples into The Lockhorns. Or so this post from CL on Complementarian Loners suggests:
Contraception reduces sex to recreation – ‘fun’ without the deep joy that a mindfully lived life can bring – and thus this percolates through the relationship as a whole. All those little jabs at each other, the passive-aggressive ways of letting the other know that you are hurting, and the hiding are part of this mentality. We’ve all done it, just as most of us have contracepted.
I’m sure many people will think this a stretch, but when we withhold something as central as our fertility from each other, what else do we withhold? Self-censored thought is like contraceptive sex. Married couples are often reluctant to be completely honest with each other and are apt to become defensive with each other, ending up – or even starting out – as adversaries rather than team mates. Since the so-called sexual revolution (think about that term for a moment), women and men have not needed each other the way they used to. Separating sexual intercourse from procreation has also separated us from each other – and from our essential selves – in a real way.
Yeah, it’s probably better for married couples to eschew contraception entirely and have eight gazillion children. And then get a reality show.
I don’t think we’re ALL emotionally vulnerable and mentally disturbed. Just me. 🙂
No, no, we must all be – why else would a man bother talking to us (even online and across a few stray continents and oceans)?
Intelligent Design!
@Kittehs’
I do! 😀 But then I have Nightmare Fetishist tendencies.
Eldritch multicockbeasts aren’t included in that though.
Nice! I should try to remember to pay more attention to the forum, because I’d totally try to come to a Boston meetup if another one happened. (I’d come to a Kansas City meetup, too, but there seem to be a lot more Boston-area Manboobzers than KC-area Manboobzers, so that one’s probably less likely to happen.)
CWS – I’ve had a few Lovecraftian fantasies, I admit, but they all depended on subsituting his heroes for one of my own! 😀
Ditto about no eldritch multicockbeasts being included, though.
Which of the Old Ones (?) was it that was a sort of giant jelly bag with lots of eyes? I’m imagining the EM being a sort of penile version of that.
Ewwww.
It’s all the Kittehs’ Unpaid Help’s fault that I am still wandering round the house doing the world’s worst Inigo Montoya impression:
“Guano galore ….. ” clears throat, lowers voice “Guano galore ” (and repeat)
::blushes::
Oh the fame!
@The Kitteh’s Unpaid Help:
When I was growing up in the MRA household, I was always firmly taught the difference in the words used:
“A famous person or leader is ‘assassinated’. A man or boy is ‘murdered’. A woman, girl, animal or plant is ‘killed’.”
I had those three sentences indoctrinated into me – and if I EVER made the mistake of saying a man was killed or messing up the three in any way, WOW was I lectured on maintaining the correct distinctions.
So, no, unless the child in question is male, then killing women and children does not count as murder.
Yes, that’s pretty much what I thought it’d be, Rahu. They’re even more shameless about the whole thing than I thought.
I wonder if they think bestiality should be legal? Because, y’know, they like shoving it into women and children and we’re not human.
But but I thought you WEREN’T
Oi, comment posted too early. I was going to say:
But I thought you WEREN’T supposed to stick your dick in crazy!
Well, that didn’t embed so well. It’s a four-second montage of David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor saying “What?” in a variety of interesting ways.
@Kitteh
I’m not familiar with Lovecraft; I have issues with his writing style.
Mine tend to lean towards the possession/body-swapping/transforming into an abomination and Affront To All That Is Right. But, y’know, consensual possession, body-swapping, and horrifying transformations.
These guys have a special place in my… well, ‘heart’ isn’t really the right word here…
Ozy – I bet they make an exception for sticking your dick in crazy if they think they’d manage it. After all sticking your dick in matters more than anything in the history of the universe ever.
After all that, I think a dose of Maru is called for.

And I’m wondering whether there’s a word for having sex with plants.
CWS – I read a fair bit of Lovecraft and some Clark Ashton Smith during my teens. It’s been a long while since I looked at them, and I don’t think I’d be rapt in their styles now, either. My imaginings tended to be lifted straight from the stories – Horrible Death Of Main Character stuff, but substituting generalised 1920s type blokes with long-haired-feminine-1970s type blokes. (Hey, this was when I was a teen!)
Aw, Maru looks so young in some of those! He’s my favorite internet kitty.
SNERK just make sure it’s a Venus Flytrap!
Bwahahahahaha
Nepenthe: A particularly complicated form of masturbation?
Kitteh: NO NO PLEASE DON’T STICK YOUR DICK IN CRAZY MRAS I’M BEGGING YOU
Well, CL is apparently unwilling to come back to the thread and explain the whole NFP thing for us, because we’re a tiresome and juvenile lot. So I hope you’re all happy!
PS: David the “eldritch multicockbeast”? Funniest thing I’ve heard today 😀
@Kitteh
Hey, long-haired with beautiful eyes is pretty much the closest to me having a ‘type’, physically speaking. Beyond that it’s all personality. And willingness to listen to my fantasies of taking their body for a ride, with or without them in it. 😛
Hey, long-haired with beautiful eyes is pretty much the closest to me having a ‘type’, physically speaking.
That’s it for me, too! Do you use the Man Boobz forum? (This is a relevant question, believe it or not.)
Whee, we’re tiresome and juvenile according to CL! Cool! 😀
Ahahahaha, that “Men’s Rights Power List” is hilarious. He goes from completely missing the point of Manboobz (Note, Mr. TheAntifeminist, that the header says “Misogyny,” not “MRAs.” You guys aren’t all the misogynists by a long shot.) and complaining that David quotes people who aren’t MRAs to TheAmazingTriggering(Male)RapeVictimsForFunAndProfitAtheist to “Not an MRA, but still” Heartiste to the HyperNeckbeard who wrote this pile of balderdash to Eivind fucking Berge.
Quite a movement you’ve got there, champ.
Oh, and it gets better! He has a post dedicated to defaming David here (TW for an image of what appears to be an aborted fetus); it’s exactly as full of lies and hypocrisy as you’d expect.
It’s strange how acceptable MRAs find lying about a man if he disagrees with their agenda. Could it be……..misandry?
