Backstory: I e-mailed my mother feeling guilty about making out with a boy that isn’t actually my boyfriend.
Well Sweetie….what should I say? You aren’t married, so there’s no infidelity.
It was a choice. So ok. You did. Big deal….you don’t need absolution.
But you did promise me that you would make arrangements for the vaccine. Your window of age is closing and I feel that you should consider this extra protection….for all those whoops moments.
Gotta run….love you, Mom

That mom has her head on straight!

having a vaccine to protect oneself from std’s does not fall into a “whoops” category. having sex is a choice – one doesn’t accidentally do it unless one is mentally handicapped and taken advantage of.

One doesnt accidentally kiss someone either… But when it happens, I’d still call it a “whoops” moment!

Someone having sex with you isn’t a choice. Being protected in that 1 in 4 chance it will happen to you is good thinking.

Mentally handicapped AND taken advantage of? One or the other isn’t sufficient?
