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.

    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.

    “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.

    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.

    If I were to tell you that I have 3 kids, would you also be disgusted that I’ve had vaginal sex at least 3 times? Or is that somehow different?

    Unpopular opinion for sure, but one built on immaturity and inability to reason as an adult.

    If you were in an office and someone says that they are dropping loads in their wife, yea, that’s fucked up and significantly different from saying that they’re trying to have a child.

    Bro, how do you think human life works? This is natural, sorry you are sensitive by very tame terminology. Perhaps you should talk to someone about why a necessary natural process causes you so much turmoil. I get that this is a workplace but is it too much to ask to allow for some personal freedom rather than sitting quietly working as a bot all day for your corporate overlords?

          Are they going into detail about their sex or did they just say they were trying to have a baby?

          If it’s only the latter then it’s about as inappropriate as women showing their bare ankles in public and you may be overreacting just a tad.

          ETA: please answer this question.

          The sentiment is anti social. If you don’t want hear people talking about something, go stand somewhere else.

          I highly doubt anybody holding you still and forcing you to hear about all that disgusting heterosexual sex.

      I’m a gay man. If I said to you, “my boyfriend has bareback anal sex with me and cums in my ass” at work, would you find it work-appropriate? Please answer.

        They aren’t saying that, though. It’s the equivalent of you saying “my boyfriend and I are going on a cruise.”

        False equivalency here, gay bro. Words mean things. Your original example was a euphemism, not graphic detail. Then you equated it with graphic detail, not euphemism. Most of the time, when people say they’re “trying for a baby” (sorry, was that too graphic for you?) the meaning is more than “We’re having vaginal sex.” it’s also “We’re being intentional, have discussed it together, decided we both want it, and are excited about being parents.” Furthermore, there is a possibility that this couple has struggled to have kids for vairous reasons, and are still determined. Maybe go have more gay sex and let your orgasms calm you down, gay bro.

        “I’m a gay man” might already elicit the image you paint in some people.

        You are also able to use the euphemism. A queer couple can say “we are trying for a baby” to refer to the process of adopting or ivf or anything like that.

          We also use “I’m trying for a baby” as a euphemism for sex. In fact, my favorite euphemism is “just dropping the kids off at the pool”
