This is in response to someone spookily posting that you can buy "positive" pregnancy tests for $20 bucks. If you're not going to take responsibility yourself for contraception (ie condom or at least coitus interruptus) then you are hugely vulnerable to women getting pregnant on purpose. It's not ALWAYS women being malicious or wanting to trap you. Quite a few women have this delusion, or have been misinformed, that they can "never have a baby" and so let contraception slide. I met a woman just the other day who thought she was infertile forever because she'd had to have one ovary removed. WRONG! One ovary is generally as good as two. Other reasons why women think they can't get pregnant include: Irregular periods (WRONG, women who only get a period now and then are still ovulators) Presuming menopause has happened when it hasn't (to assume menopause, woman needs to be at least 45 and have not menstruated for TWO YEARS). Some women assume they're infertile because they've had an STD. Warts and herpes do not make her barren. Chlamydia and gonorrhoea cause sterility ONLY f there's been a bad pelvic inflammatory disease as a result. And even then it's still not 100 percent for sure that she can't get pregnant. Some women mystically assume they can't get pregnant just because they've never been pregnant. Re pregnancy tests: there is no such thing as a "false positive" if you use the test correctly. Some women pee on the stick, and keep checking it for HOURS afterward, by which time occasionally the "positive" line will show up very faintly. WRONG! Pg tests are only positive if you get a positive within 4 minutes of peeing on stick. After that you should chuck test in bin and not look at it anymore.

Do not believe photos of positive tests sent to you on the phone. If your girlfriend does this, it doesn't mean she's a liar. But it does mean you both need to go to the doctor to get it confirmed PRONTO.

The doctor will have a better idea how pregnant she is (if she really is) and obviously this is VERY important to establish if you are likely to want a termination.

To terminate or not terminate is utterly beyond your control. Unless you live in Alabama.

For this reason, to be safe, it's best for men to be proactive with birth control. Like I said there are lots of non-malicious reasons why women accidentally get pregnant, but some pregnancies are doubtless accidentally on purpose.

Isn't there a male pill or implant now? There ought to be!
