A great solution, though, is to have lots of kids, so they interrupt you before that point. Since there was no intent, no culpability, but still sex or foreplay without pregnancy

| Sure, that's a good thing, when it works. I read a long online NFP discussion between Catholic parents a while back, in which there were many mentions of this effect but also at least as many mentions of NFP as a cause of tension, arguments, blaming one another for pregnancies, and having to refrain from all affection and flirtation one week out of four to avoid tempting each other. Practicing NFP with total abstinence during fertile times can be very, very difficult, depending on the people involved. It sounds to me (looking at it from the outside) as if the church could do more to help couples learn techniques for relating and coping effectively, rather than assume that these abilities just come about naturally through practicing NFP. |
