Gift from Mother Nature or fertility assistance? (None of my business, of, course, so don’t answer if you don’t wish to.)

…her 3 little passengers.

The pediatric practice from which I retired last year had a couple of sets of triplets. They are young adults now. When they were babies and the moms would bring them in using what I called their “stretch limo strollers,” a hush would fall in the waiting room and you could pretty much read the minds of moms with 1 or 2 - “I guess my life is not as hard as I usually think it is.”

A LOT of women have flocked to long-term birth control like IUD's in recent years.

And the US population grew by the smallest amount ever recorded last year. Without immigration, we're going to see our population start to decline in the next decade, much like Japan.

1) people don't want to get infected
2) generally, people don't want to go in hospital, and that is where most births occur. I suspect home intimacy for married couples is less frequent what with covid worries.
3) while red hat people are trying to infect and convert everyone to their side, the other 58% shuns them. I mean, in the pre-TFG era, have you known any people like them? You just want to RUN as fast and as far as possible.

My point being, of those activities, only married intimacy is a growth area for intimacy or condom use. But seriously. After 20 years you're on the other side of the bed and intimate what ... 10 times a year?
