“Someone shared their big life changing news with me, how can I make this all about me instead”

Life changing news is actually being pregnant. You don't need to tell anyone he's been rawdogging you.

I feel like hypothetically it is a worthwhile thing to share with your friends that you and your partner have decided you want children and that the time is now. It's a big life decision, and when the time comes for myself and my partner, I will definitely want to talk with my close friends about it.

The conversation doesn't have to be about raw dogging, instead it could be about planning for children. Many people plan for children in advance of getting pergenat.

If it comes up in conversation with close friends, absolutely let them know that you're starting to plan for a child. But making it something to announce like it's an occasion is very weird energy.

I don't plan on ever having kids and I don't really get the desire to, but I can respect that deciding to have a baby is a big decision and you might want to share that with your friends and others.

Like I laugh at the idea of people telling others that they're raw dogging it but I think people who actually get upset over it come across as either squeamish or incel-ish

I think what both comics miss is that sex can be for a purpose other than straight up pleasure, it’s a means to an end. Also it’s very possible if someone says this that sex isn’t working very well for them in making a baby…and they might be doing things like IVF, etc.

I agree with the sentiment but i don't think either comics are meant to be taken as actual criticisms of telling people you're trying for a baby

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 months ago

That's because the LGBT equivalent would be 'We're trying to adopt a baby!'. The dude in this comic is just being obnoxious.

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 16 points 4 months ago

Congrats, you can understand why everyone in the comic is reacting that way.

[-] gon@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago

Never seen this one before.

[-] boreengreen@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago
