Why do people ask such stupid questions about sex and pregnancy?

Question

Here are some examples of stupid questions I have read:

Am I pregnant? How is anyone supposed to know this answer. Take a test or go to your doctor.

Could my girlfriend get pregnant if I *** inside her during her period? Yes it is possible to get pregnant at any time. Don't they teach this in School now days? Also, if you don't want a kid, why are you having unprotected sex anyway.

Can I get pregnant if I don't climax, but my boyfriend cums inside me? If you seriously do not know the answer to this question, you should not be allowed to have sex. Yes, duh.

And then there are always the questions asked by those who think they are funny, when in reality they are not. Does anyone else agree with me? I just don't understand how someone can lack so much common sense.

I am not saying all questions regarding "Am I pregnant?" are stupid, but when you haven't even taken a test, and you are asking perfect strangers if you are or not, is just plain stupid. I understand if you have taken a couple tests and they come back negative, and you are curious about other people outcomes. But, nobody can tell you if you are pregnant or not except an at home test or a doctor.

What I am trying to say here is why aren't parents explaining these things to their children? No parent should assume their children are not having sex, and I would hope that my children tell me when they are thinking about having sex. I am just saying that children today are uneducated about sex and pregnancy, and parents or even teachers should be doing something to educate them. I went to a very small school and we still had a sex education class in 8th grade where all of this was explained.

Answer 1

I think people ask stupid questions because these people ARE incredibly STUPID.

I honestly can't believe the moronic questions people ask, particularly the first and second ones you list, such as "I did X with my boyfriend on X day of my cycle, could I get pregnant from that?".
Or "I am using the pull-out method. Can I get pregnant from that?"

Clearly, our educational system is failing these kids because they don't know anything about where babies come from.

Answer 2

I do not think that these people are asking stupid questions- they are really just scared. Especially if you are pregnant and "not ready to be a parent yet". It can be a stressful time. Do not put down these questions as "stupid". Maybe if some of us would answer with compassion instead of complaining or making the young woman feel terrible, maybe more girls or women that are pregnant would choose to carry their child to term. Why? Because they need support not complaints.

Answer 3

To some people these questions are not stupid and they really want to know. If you think they are stupid then why read them? Why make people feel stupid for asking what they think is a real question that they don't know the answer too? Maybe you should go on a different area if you don't like it!!

Answer 4

Well alot of people don't know I just starting checking it out at my age myself. I read that some people chart for pregnancy because charting can lead to a healthier baby. They say by charting and conceiving on certain days can make for a healthier baby. Lots of information I myself didn't know.

Answer 5

Personally, I would pay taxes for a government program that educated and tested the masses before giving them permission to copulate.

I am sure it would be less money than I pay in taxes for welfare and medicaid.

Answer 6

lol I agree with you, I think a lot of the times, it's kids just asking silly questions, but yes it is annoying becuase the whole point of yahoo answers is to get useful information and compare experiences. Thanks for finally pointing it out!
