It might be a cultural thing, but where I live, people usually don't talk about it at work until the pregnancy has been successfully confirmed, in order to avoid the uncomfortable talks that a potential unsuccessful pregnancy would result in.

The only ones who talk about trying are often the ones who have difficulties with it. They could be getting a baby through insemination or fertility treatment and need time off for that etc.

Hahahahaha. I often imagine other people having sex. It's sometimes hilarious. Nobody can stop me.

Also some people get pregnant other ways. They could be referring to in vitro or related procedures. For those people it can be very difficult and expensive. Be more positive and supportive of other people's hopes and dreams, or at least be neutral.

Had a colleague who said that he's disgusted when another colleague talks about his boyfriend. He advocated it basically because he was imagining anal sex between them all the time.

Three years later, these colleagues are boyfriends 💞💞💞

Sounds like something Hank Hill would get upset about.

"I'm going to go number 2" - Disgusting and graphic.

What if they are trying to have a baby through in vitro fertilization? Your mind is what’s immediately going to sex. If someone is being more graphic in their description and talking about raw dogging and how often, then I think you have a case.

I don’t want to hear about people trying for kids either but I personally don’t care and just don’t engage in the conversation.

That strong anti natalist sentiment is palpable

People also say this when they are doing IVF and other fertility treatments. In fact every time I have heard this it involved fertility treatment because otherwise they just announce they are expecting.

It means they’re having bareback sex and the man orgasms while inside her.

Most of the time announcing a pregnancy or even just seeing kids at the park also means someone had sweaty bareback sex. Is it only bad when they announce it before the pregnancy?

This, folks, is a perfect example of projection. OP is a gay man and has worried that others judge him for his preference, so he judges others for the same thing.

The healthy thing of course would be to learn to let it roll off his back, and in calming that, he would calm his own worry about others judging him.

I don't think the statement is bad, but I can see why many wouldn't want to hear it in detail.

Yeah, no one needs to know your fella is rawdogging you regularly. Telling us when you're actually pregnant makes more sense.

Yeah... Personally, I'd rather hear that a couple is trying for a baby over the bigoted shit I usually hear at work.

op doesnt seem to get any

It's not that crazy, but it's a little uncomfortable to basically just be told that 2 people are rawdogging. It's nowhere near nausea inducing, and it's not really a sexual discussion. Would I rather not hear it? Of course. Is it that bad? Not really.

If someone uses that occasion to turn to you and ask if you’re ever going to have a kid, just respond with “not unless I’ve got ovaries on my tonsils!” And then somehow that’s a visit with HR.
