interestrateripoff Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/americas-virgin-births-one-in-200-mothers-became-pregnant-without-having-sex-9012360.html The results of a long-term study of reproductive health, published in the British Medical Journal, have revealed that one in two hundred US women claim to have given birth without ever having had sexual intercourse. The findings were based on a study of 7,870 women and girls aged 15 to 28, as part of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, which ran from 1995 to 2009. The Christmas issue of the BMJ reports that, of the women who took part in the study, 45 (0.5%) reported at least one virgin pregnancy, "unrelated to the use of assisted reproductive technology." In short, they claimed to have conceived - yet had not had vaginal intercourse or in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). .. They found that the girls who had become pregnant, despite claiming they had never had sex at the time of conception, shared some common characteristics. Thirty-one per cent of the girls had signed a so-called 'chastity pledge', whereby they vow - usually for religious reasons - not to have sex. Fifteen per cent of non-virgins who became pregnant also said they had signed such pledges. ... About 28 per cent of the "virgin" mothers' parents (who were also interviewed) indicated they didn't have enough knowledge to discuss sex and contraception with their daughters, compared to 5 percent of the parents of girls who became pregnant and said they had had intercourse. The authors of the study, entitled "Like a virgin (mother)", - say that such scientifically impossible claims show researchers must take care in interpreting self-reported behavior. Fallible memory, beliefs and wishes can cause people to err in what they tell scientists. Whilst you can get pregnant without penetration I'm guessing lots of girls here are being slightly ambiguous with the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless humans are evolving parthenogenesis as the first step to doing without men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reck B Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Surely if a man ejaculated into an opened vagina, a pregnancy could occur without him penetrating her with his *****? so you can type vagina and not peni%? sexist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Knimbies who say No Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 The study probably involved reading through the accumulated letters to Just Seventeen, which seemed to reguarly carry the improbable story of some teen girl who fell preggers due to random sperm in a swimming pool etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC1 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Slow-witted chastity-pledge signing teens from Hicksville making last resort attempts to persuade God-fearing parents that they didn't let Duane from the neighbouring farm have his wicked way with her in the hay barn, but in actual fact it is probably the 2nd coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy_renting Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I once heard that ovarian cysts are sometimes a result of human parthenogenesis; they don't form viable embryos. May be complete nonsense though. Edit: I think I was thinking of ectopic pregnacies. And it may still be complete nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC1 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 They're not denying having been near a bloke and his pen*s? They're claiming to be virgins.... and pregnant. The article explains this apparent contradiction principally in terms of religious beliefs and lack of sexual education. Edit to add: I think it's pretty much common knowledge that a not insignificant number of teens who take these chastity pledges get up to pretty much everything bar vaginal intercourse, because, of course, those other things don't count!

the gardener Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I once heard that ovarian cysts are sometimes a result of human parthenogenesis; they don't form viable embryos. May be complete nonsense though. Could they get themselves pregnant via some weird kind of chimerial-type self fertilisation process? I read somewhere of a mother who according to DNA testing, wasn't the mother of her children. She was on the verge of having her children removed from her custody and was in fact in police custody whilst giving birth to her latest child. They then DNA tested that child and it also was not related to her. Clearly this was wrong and they did further research and discovered that actually she had the DNA of two different people and depending on which sample was used for testing, a different DNA would show up. The assumption is that this is some kind of absorbed twin thing. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interestrateripoff Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Enjoy.... I've heard several stories in the past about similar god fearing girls persevering their virginity but just doing everything else. You can't put it there but please put it in my mouth because then I'm not a slut type mentality. I'm sure God looks down really impressed that your not sharing your vagina until your married.

SarahBell Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Perhaps like the most primitive tribes didn't know that babies came from having sex, these girls had no idea that what they were doing was actually sexual intercourse and could lead to babies? I am currently reading something about Irish women emigrating to the UK (1929-1960). The chapter on relationships is interesting. Many of them hadn't got a clue where babies came from.
