Since I seem to have started this ever so vulgar discussion (my dear, I'm
so sorry we have offended you, gentle reader), I might as well answer this.

First, I would like to thank everyone who responded to my question about
whether men are concerned with birth control.  While I hadn't meant it
to be a personal question, eliciting some rather detailed replies, I was
pleasantly surprised at all the men who said that they ALWAYS considered
something like birth control to be the responsibity of both the man and
the woman.  I would especially like to thank everyone who posted their 
responses to the net.  This is the sort of issue in which if more people
realized that it is not a peculiar thing to ask about birth control, more
people might not be embarassed to do so (men and women).

As to the vulgarity of this topic and the problems of "that kind of woman":
It is unfortuntate, isn't it, that sex has to have this unpleasant and 
embarassing side?  So much nicer to sleep with a woman if you don't have
to deal with all the messy details... if she has taste, she'll quietly
take care of everything and you won't have to know a thing, right?  And
of course, those cheap sluts who sleep around all the time had best take
care of themselves (is the male equivalent of slut the proverbial REAL MAN?).
No man who has  a one-night stand should concern himself about the life
he may create cause like its the lady's responsibility and if she isn't
up to protecting herself, it's certainly not his job... but, of course, lots
and lots of women DO get pregnant without wanting or being able to take
care of a baby...  yes, I agree that they were wrong in not using some kind
of birth control, but the fact that they SHOULD does not alleviate men from
having some responsibility in assuring that somebody DOES.
