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

It should not be tolerated at the workplace. I’m forced to listen to this rhetoric because my shift isn’t done yet, and I can’t leave without getting fired. I’m forced into a sexual discussion without consent, and it’s so graphically disgusting that I feel nauseous.

    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.

    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.

    The replies are just sad… I do agree that the meaning of “We are trying for a baby” is inherently a sexually explicit term and some people might not like it and it should be accepted I don’t know why people in the replies have a problem with that. 🤷‍♀️

      No, he hates pussy, and anything that makes him think of pussy, honestly Dan Savage (famous advice gay) has the same hang up. I respect it.

    I am very happy to see, reading the responses, that this is indeed an unpopular opinion. You sound quite squeamish and prudish. The couple is already presumably having sex, why in the world does it bother you that they acknowledge (with a completely not graphic euphemistic comment) that they want a baby? It’s not a sexual comment.

    Upvoted for unpopularity.

    The phrase “we’re trying for a baby” communicates the intent to start a family without eliciting unwanted images of raw dog cream pies. That is why we use it. If you are having these thoughts about your coworkers from this phrase, I submit that you are the problem.

    Honestly, you might need therapy. But definitely an unpopular opinion, I’ll give you that.

    “I’m going to the bathroom” is sexually graphic, and disgusting.

    It means ejecting urine and or feces from the body and it finishes in the toilet.

    It should not be tolerated at the workplace. I’m forced to listen to this rhetoric because my shift isn’t done yet, and I can’t leave without getting fired. I’m forced into a sexual discussion without consent, and it’s so graphically disgusting that I feel nauseous.

    This is a truly US level of being uncomfortable with the basic fact of life.

    It’s a euphemism designed to avoid explicit detail. You should be thankful for the phrase.

    Also, it’s one of the most natural things imaginable, maybe work on understanding your own sensitivity rather than bringing other people down for being human.

      By OP’s logic, you shouldn’t be able to tell anyone you are pregnant or that you have children because that eludes to the fact that at one point you’ve had sex. Next HR is going to remove the bathrooms from the office, because it assumes that people are pissing somewhere.

        You probably also shouldn’t mention that you have a mother or a father because that forces OP to picture your parents doing the deed to make you. Same goes for siblings and grandparents.
