- I guess if we accept the bible as non-fiction, then even completely avoiding
- coitus sex is less that 100% reliable. However, that is not what I'm referring
- to. When you mentioned "abstinence = no intercourse", I began to think about
- my apology for using the term abstinence. But then much to my pleasure, I
- look up abstinence in the dictionary (Actually used xwebster) and there in
- the first definition is "voluntary forbearance". So even with practicing
- 100% abstinence, a woman can still end up pregnant by someone who ignored
- her wishes not to participate in coitus sex.
