The Unsuckled Teat

I’m going to do the obligatory thing and state for the record that I love kids.  I have a nephew who I love so much it makes me talk in high-pitched nonsense syllables on the hope that I will get a smile or a laugh out of him.

That said, I’m content being an aunt.  I don’t want to be a mom.  I disdain the notion that all women want to breed.  At this point in human evolution, there is no reason to increase the population.  The planet is overloaded enough as it is.  I don’t have the need to sow my seed (or fertilize my eggs).  So yes, my teats will remain unsuckled, my vagina unstretched.

Before you go thinking I’m all ZPG, this list is really about me not having any desire to get knocked up.  I hear about the craziness that comes with having kids from friends and coworkers and I always say “Add it to the list.”  After saying that enough times, I decided to have a physical (or electronic) manifestation of the list.  Just so we are clear, this isn’t about disliking children so if you’re anti-kid, this isn’t really the place for you.  It’s also not about hating or shitting on people who do want to have kids.

While my reasons are my own, I know there are like-minded people out there.  Please feel free to sumbit your reasons why not.
