It means they're having bareback sex and the man orgasms while inside her.

It should not be tolerated at the workplace. I'm forced to listen to this rhetoric because my shift isn't done yet, and I can't leave without getting fired. I'm forced into a sexual discussion without consent, and it's so graphically disgusting that I feel nauseous.

Grow up love, your dad shot a fucking red hot load into your mum and thats why you're here. 21st century ridiculousness. Very unpopular opinion have an upvote.

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

red hot

You should see a doctor...

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

I am very happy to see, reading the responses, that this is indeed an unpopular opinion. You sound quite squeamish and prudish. The couple is already presumably having sex, why in the world does it bother you that they acknowledge (with a completely not graphic euphemistic comment) that they want a baby? It's not a sexual comment.

Upvoted for unpopularity.

I think it's a common opinion in childfree circles. anything to dunk on "natalists".

[-] lemmus@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

It’s a euphemism designed to avoid explicit detail. You should be thankful for the phrase.

Also, it’s one of the most natural things imaginable, maybe work on understanding your own sensitivity rather than bringing other people down for being human.

[-] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

By OP's logic, you shouldn't be able to tell anyone you are pregnant or that you have children because that eludes to the fact that at one point you've had sex. Next HR is going to remove the bathrooms from the office, because it assumes that people are pissing somewhere.

[-] ChexMax@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

You probably also shouldn't mention that you have a mother or a father because that forces OP to picture your parents doing the deed to make you. Same goes for siblings and grandparents.

[-] Khrux@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 month ago

I agree, knowing other people have sex is absolutely fine, in fact I assume it as default for basically any adult in a relationship. Not using protection may be unwise in almost all cases, but trying for a baby with a partner is the main exception, and it's never been gross.

I understand that a lot of people have been raised with shame, and I feel a certain pity for them, but I'm not a fan of treating this shame as righteous.

[-] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Literally every human being around you exists because of sex. Imagine being creeped out by existing.

Why are kids these days such prudes? How do you think you got here lol.

"I'm going to the bathroom" is sexually graphic, and disgusting.

It means ejecting urine and or feces from the body and it finishes in the toilet.

It should not be tolerated at the workplace. I'm forced to listen to this rhetoric because my shift isn't done yet, and I can't leave without getting fired. I'm forced into a sexual discussion without consent, and it's so graphically disgusting that I feel nauseous.

[-] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

The phrase "we're trying for a baby" communicates the intent to start a family without eliciting unwanted images of raw dog cream pies. That is why we use it. If you are having these thoughts about your coworkers from this phrase, I submit that you are the problem.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

This must be an American.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 14 points 1 month ago

Graphic ? meaning you're picturing it mentally ? that's you lacking control over your own brain

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 14 points 1 month ago

This is a truly US level of being uncomfortable with the basic fact of life.

Honestly, you might need therapy. But definitely an unpopular opinion, I'll give you that.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Even the Victorian era thinks you might be a prude.

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

You are definitionally wrong. A graphic description means, "Describing or depicting in vivid and realistic detail." Saying, "We're trying for a baby," would be considered euphemistically sexual at best. A graphically sexual description would be something like, I don't know..."having bareback sex and the man orgasms while inside her."

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fantastic unpopular opinion. Post is work of a scholar.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah... OP is a clown but the post is actually proper for the community haha

Good job!

No offense, but there is a point at which others aren't at fault and the behavior you're asking of them is ridiculous.

OP is definitely a virgin, and very likely an incel. Also a high chance that OP is gay. It's okay, you can come out of the closet.

OP does not know what "sexually graphic" means.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 4 points 1 month ago

Well technically he is projecting sexually graphic here for us.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

If I were to tell you that I have 3 kids, would you also be disgusted that I've had vaginal sex at least 3 times? Or is that somehow different?

Unpopular opinion for sure, but one built on immaturity and inability to reason as an adult.

If you were in an office and someone says that they are dropping loads in their wife, yea, that's fucked up and significantly different from saying that they're trying to have a child.

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 1 month ago

Just wait until they realize their parents had sex, maybe even more than once!

Bro, how do you think human life works? This is natural, sorry you are sensitive by very tame terminology. Perhaps you should talk to someone about why a necessary natural process causes you so much turmoil. I get that this is a workplace but is it too much to ask to allow for some personal freedom rather than sitting quietly working as a bot all day for your corporate overlords?

[-] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Based on the name of the community and the responses I’ve seen here, this is exactly the right place for this opinion.

It might be a cultural thing, but where I live, people usually don't talk about it at work until the pregnancy has been successfully confirmed, in order to avoid the uncomfortable talks that a potential unsuccessful pregnancy would result in.

The only ones who talk about trying are often the ones who have difficulties with it. They could be getting a baby through insemination or fertility treatment and need time off for that etc.

[-] Outwit1294@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

“I put a thick load in my wife last night”

“My husband cums inside me all the time now”

I think these are way worse

Hahahahaha. I often imagine other people having sex. It's sometimes hilarious. Nobody can stop me.

Also some people get pregnant other ways. They could be referring to in vitro or related procedures. For those people it can be very difficult and expensive. Be more positive and supportive of other people's hopes and dreams, or at least be neutral.

[-] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Unpopular Opinion

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.


6. Defend your opinion


This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
