Thanks Ernieb, not that I needed a complement, but for that modicum of courage it takes to go against the prevailing flow here.

I'll address you, MichaelD, since yours was the first complaint with words:
"What the heck does this have to do with birth control? *Moonbeam spouts another string of heady, deep-emotioned, incoherent babbling*"

Lets take a look at the original post in No more sex...for awhile...:
"my girlfriend has been on birth control pills but she doesn't like the way they make her feel (glad i'm not a woman), so she's giving them up. i use the condoms, she uses birth control. but now she doesn't want to have sex anymore until she finds a different contraceptive. that's ok i guess, she's asked me multiple times if i was in the relationship just for sex but now maybe she'll believe me. anyone's girlfriend (or any girls! hehe) use a different contaceptive?"

See that part where she says:
"she's asked me multiple times if i was in the relationship just for sex but now maybe she'll believe me"
Just what do you suppose was going on there and why do you think what's important here is birth control. I see her testing his commitment and for the reasons I described. I see what you can't. He also feels that now she will believe him. The chances of that are zero. The love of another does not fill our void. It's a temporary fix that often leads to bitterness and recriminations when it fails and the parties move on to fresh hunting grounds in the endless and hopeless search for affirmation. The human issues raised by this post are fundamentally far more profound and far more significant than what form of birth control to use, but they are there only for somebody who can see them. Others, of course, can see only another string of heady, deep-emotioned, incoherent babbling.

So while I thank you for your criticism, you and others like you, I decline to function in your myopic world. I can't, you see, in good conscience pay any attention to your advise. I have to address what is real and of import. It's just a matter of ethics.
