Er, what? You're saying that while anal sex is less likely to prevent pregnencies than regular sex, it's still not as good as being on the pill? I'd love to see how you think women's bottoms are wired up, Omega.
Darnit, where'd I put that book...
*rummages*
Well, I can't seem to find the book from which I got that particular statistic. Let me try the web...
*searches*
Huh. No luck there, either.
I believe it had something to do with semen leaking into the vagina. IIRC, the number for anal sex was 98% effective, and pills were 99% effective (when used correctly).

Well, if the woman suffers from anal leakage or the man decided to ejaculate outside the rectum, then there is a chance of sperm sliding into the vagina. And it only takes one of the little buggers...

Damn. I don't have a book anywhere, but I vaugely remembered hearing something about the female needing to get an orgasam as well to get pregnant. Well. Actually I don't think it's required, but I heard that there's a better chance of getting pregnant if she does have one. Oh dear. I'm feeling so uncomfrontable right now. I should and will leave now.

Orgasm? Heck, a woman can get pregnant through three layers of clothing, with no penetration involved, and no arousal on her part. It's extremely unlikely, but possible. But yeah, orgasm does increase the chances.

Jeff, I believe the appropriate phrase would be "You're soaking in it!"
Anyway, I watched a documentary on TLC last February called "Desmond Morris' The Human Animal." I think that was the title, but it dealth with the physical (biological and chemical) aspects of love and sex. One of the more interesting shots was an internal view from the vagina of a woman reaching orgasm. The couple was in missionary position, and the man had just ejaculated. Thus, a pool of semen had collected in the vagina near the cervix. As the woman reached her orgasm, her vaginal muscles contracted and the cervix dipped into the pool of semen multiple times. In that way, orgasm helps to insure pregnancy since the orgasm causes the cervix to pull down and pull the semen in the uterus. It's not absolutely needed, but it does help.
Yes, I'm well aware that I am contributing too much information to this thread.

I think we should have some award for the only thread on flare to use the phrase "anal leakage".

You know what? I think I saw that documentary a while back.

The only point I was making is that you're much less likely to end up w/ a pregnancy on your hands through anal sex than through vaginal sex. I never said it was fool-proof. Safer, not completely safe.

Damn skippy. And it looks like Liam's giving me an award for typing "anal leakage" in a completely serious manner with no hidden meanings.

I got to think that a woman getting pregnant through 3 layers of clothing is enough to put Zaphod Beeblebrox's Improbability Drive to shame.
