To my knowledge it is IMPOSSIBLE, with the possible exception of MARY AND JESUS, for a woman to become pregnant and give birth without having sperm introduced into her body.

We all know that ALL methods of contraception have a failure rate that is greater than zero so some percentage of sexually active women, no matter what method of contraception, will become pregnant.

Again, to my best knowledge, NO ONE has ever died from not having sex. Sex is enjoyable, sure. What I can't understand is why people, especially young people think they just 'HAVE' to have sex. Abstinence is still the best. And certainly should be practiced by the young who should NOT be having babies. Good parents USED to teach this philosophy.
