i feel it is important to say that some people arent disgusted by the idea of other people having sex or the concept of sex itself

Thank you, this weird wave of zoomer puritanism is slowly starting to get on my nerves. Your friends have made a big decision, be happy for them.
This, the fuck kind of anti social shit is this. I can't fathom how anyone would not know how to handle standard conversation.
"May the best daddy win"
"sitting on an ice pack" 😅
That's because the LGBT equivalent would be 'We're trying to adopt a baby!'. The dude in this comic is just being obnoxious.
Congrats, you can understand why everyone in the comic is reacting that way.
“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 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 don't think many people are actually upset over it. Its mostly just jokes about the implication of the term.
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 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
sometimes jokes are just jokes

I really don't understand the issue with this. Is this a christian/american sex thing?
I have heard this from friends and family. I am just happy for them, and say that I think that it is great!
this is a „I have an involuntary and graphic imagination“ thing
It's an anti social, Lemmy thing.
They can't for their lives, navigate standard social situations without going ballistic

Oh silly I can and always have been imagining that even without you telling me anything
I don't really understand the urge to let people know this, unless it's family asking you about it. Not that your mind should "do a weird thing", but it's just... why?
We didn't say a thing about a kid until a few months after conception, and we waited because even if it takes, there is a weirdly high chance of an early miscarriage. And it's less is an announcement of good news and more of a "and that's why she big now." Just saying you're trying to conceive is even more preemptive of something so highly variable that I can't understand why you'd do it.
Yeah ... I feel this. We told a family member at week 10. I think we wanted to wait longer, but it just sort of came of out. They shared it on Facebook. We didn't say not to. Week 11 or so, I don't fucking remember ... Miscarriage. Probably not viable for a couple of weeks at that point.
Any case, we tried again and this time waited till week 13. We're very explicit that it was only for family until we tell everyone somewhere in couple of months. And now we have a kiddo whose been kicking it strong for quite some time.
Miscarriages hurt and I'm a little surprised I still feel it.

When you're too porn addicted to handle social situations. Maybe it's time to take a look at yourself.
Literally this. No normal person ever would interpret the phrase "we are trying for a baby" as something sexual/gross/disgusting in nature.
Most people probably would be socially aware to know that congratulations are in order and that's the end of it.
I know a guy who has 3 daughters and is obsessed with having a son. He's always going into detail about when he's read the correct time wrt ovulation is etc etc. And saying things like I told (wife) that if she had the boy first, she could choose how many kids she wanted. The worst part is he says all this in front of his wife and daughters.
"you get to pick what you do with your body once I get what I want"
Sounds pretty rapey.

Is he called Henry VIII?
Did you explain to him that the male chooses the sex? Its his sperm making girls not the wife. Never understood how guys always blame the woman for not making a boy? Who cares long as it is healthy.
Unless his partner is a Bene Gesserit
