16 Surprising Ways You Didn’t Know You Could Get Pregnant

1. Letting him take the rear entrance.

Nickelodeon

Yup, folks, it’s true. A woman can get pregnant during anal sex. How can this be? During intercourse the semen doesn’t always end up just in the rear. According to Minkin, “Even if he is penetrating rectally, he can be depositing a little seminal fluid around the opening to the vagina. Let’s face it, the vagina and the rectum are very close territory.”

2. Opening a condom with your teeth.

Two words: Slow down. In the heat of the moment, rushing and using your teeth to get the dang thing open is a no-no. You can accidentally puncture the condom without realizing it (same goes for scissors). Minkin suggests that you or your partner open it with your fingers on one of the notches.

3. Dry humping with your underwear on.

NBC

We all know dry humping without underwear can cause pregnancy, but did you know you can still get pregnant with your underwear on? Although rare, Minkin says it is possible if the man’s semen leaks through the opening of his boxers or the woman’s underwear gets pushed to the side, allowing an opening for the sperm to reach the vagina.

4. You can get pregnant when you’re already pregnant.

Mind = blown. This is strange (and uncommon) phenomenon is called superfetation, according to Minkin. It occurs when you’re already pregnant and continue ovulating. The second fertilized egg implants in the lining of the womb, resulting in a second pregnancy.

5. Using oil-based lubes with condoms.

Oil-based lubes and condoms don’t mix. While many lubricants are completely safe to use with condoms, oil-based lubricants, like petroleum jelly, are not. According to Minkin, these types of lubes can degrade the latex and create microscopic holes in the condom, increasing your chances of getting knocked up.

6. Fooling around in the tub, without even having sex.

You can get pregnant in the pool or bathtub, even without putting the tip in! Minkin says, “Any time you end up with semen or seminal fluid around the vulva, you can get guys up inside there.” It’s not super likely, but it’s also not impossible.

7. Even if you take the pill regularly, you can still become pregnant.

While it significantly decreases your chances of getting pregnant (over 99% in fact), it still isn’t 100% effective — even if you never miss a pill. (This also applies to other forms of birth control, like the IUD, diaphragm, cervical cap, etc.) Minkin says, “Any contraceptive has a small failure rate associated with it.”

8. When “sticky” fingers penetrate your vagina.

Minkin says if he just “finished” and still has some on his hand, it’s possible his boys could find a new home…inside you.

9. Not leaving space at the tip of the condom.

Not leaving room at the tip could potentially cause sperm to spill out the sides, says Mikin. You get it.

10. When you have sex with a man who has had a vasectomy.

Vasectomies are just like any other form of birth control, meaning they can’t be 100% effective. Minkin says, “Vasectomies don’t take effect immediately, so the urologist recommends having a follow-up semen analysis a couple of months afterwards to see if he is totally clear.” In addition, it is possible for the snipped areas to grow back together.

11. It’s even possible to get pregnant after you’ve had your tubes tied.

COUB

Just like a vasectomy, tubal ligation is also not 100% effective. Minkin says it can have up to a 1% failure rate. That being said, tubal ligation is still generally a great way to prevent pregnancy.

12. Having sex when you’re on your period.

Sperm can live inside you for up to five days! That means if you have sex toward the end of your bleeding and you ovulate early, you could actually conceive, says Minkin.

13. If you take the morning-after pill.

Emergency contraception decreases your chances of getting pregnant, but it cannot totally prevent you from getting pregnant. Minkin confirms that if the pill is taken within a 24-hour window, it is about 95% effective. However, it gets less effective the longer you wait. Using regular contraception is more effective and cost-effective (one morning after pill can cost between $35–$60).

14. Using old condoms, especially those that have been exposed to hot and cold temperatures.

These things don’t last forever, people. If your partner whips a condom out of his wallet, you might want to think twice. Minkin recommends using a condom that is not expired, because over time the latex can weaken and lose elasticity. On that same note, a condom that has been exposed to hot and cold elements can also be compromised.

15. Tracking your fertility.

Instagram: @postinfertility

Don’t get me wrong — fertility awareness is great. It is always a good idea to understand your body and to know approximately when you ovulate. But it isn’t a guaranteed way to keep you from conceiving. Minkin says to remember that sperm can live inside you for up to five days, so even if you had sex when you weren’t ovulating, you could ovulate a few days later and that sperm can still be there, upping the chances of conception.

16. Having sex when you’re breastfeeding (obviously not at the same time).

20th Century Fox

If you think about all the families with babies born within 10 months of each other, clearly you understand breastfeeding is not 100% effective at preventing pregnancy. According to Minkin, the hormones involved in breastfeeding help suppress ovulation, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t get pregnant — even if you haven’t started your period again after giving birth.

It’s time to change our education system Cambodia

Vietnam’s students perform mysteriously well on tests, and researchers have figured out why – BI UK

Why I’m raising this topic? Because, as y’all may know and should know, our cambodai system…

Not really that down, but… Ok, how about we improve it a little bit.

Vietnam is one of education’s biggest outliers: It’s basically the only low-income country that performs at the same level as rich countries on international academic tests.

There’s a clear positive relationship between a country’s economic strength and how well its students perform on certain tests.

But Vietnam, with a GDP per capita that is a fraction of the US’, actually performs significantly better than you’d expect for a country at its level of income, and no one really knows why.

Researchers have studied two internationally comparable tests in an attempt to understand the “Vietnam effect.” One is the TIMMS test, on which the Vietnamese vastly outperform people in other countries of similar GDP per capita. Check out the chart:

RISE

A 2014 paper by Abhijeet Singh studied the TIMMS results and found that Vietnam’s advantage starts early — Vietnamese children are slightly outperforming those in other developing countries even by age five, and the gap grows each year.

The paper found that “a year of primary school in Vietnam is considerably more ‘productive’ in terms of skill acquisition than a year of schooling in Peru or India,” Lee Crawfurd wrote in a blog post for Research on Improving Systems of Education. “The question this research raises — and the Vietnam experience suggests — is: ‘Why is learning-productivity-per-year so much greater in some countries than others?’ Or to put it more simply, why are schools so much better in some countries?”

Now, a new paper by World Bank researchers Suhas D. Parandekar and Elisabeth K. Sedmik is attempting to answer that question. They studied the Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, using scores from 2012.

Seven developing countries other than Vietnam participate in the PISA, and at $4,098, Vietnam has the lowest per capita GDP out of all of them. And yet, Vietnam still scores higher than the other developing nations. Check out the chart for math scores versus per capita GDP:

Parandekar and Sedmik

Vietnam’s scores are way above what you’d expect — more on par with Finland and Switzerland than Colombia or Peru.

For math, there’s a 128-point difference between Vietnam’s score and the average score of the other seven low-income countries. Seventy points in the math section corresponds to “an entire proficiency” level, which represents about two years of schooling in the typical Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development country. That means there’s a nearly three-year difference in educational attainment between Vietnam and the other developing countries that took the PISA.

What’s going on?

The World Bank researchers used the PISA data — which includes questions about student backgrounds, learning experiences, and school systems — to see what about Vietnam makes its students so much better than its wealth would indicate. They found that investments in education and “cultural differences” can explain about half of the point difference.

A lot of the cultural differences had to do with student characteristics. In general, Vietnamese students were more focused and took their schoolwork more seriously. They were less likely to be late for school, had fewer unexcused absences, and skipped fewer classes. They spend about three more hours per week studying outside of school than students in other developing countries. They’re less anxious about math, and more confident about how they’re going to use it in the future.

There are more differences. Parents in Vietnam were more likely to be involved in their children’s academic lives, and help out or fundraise at the school. Structurally, the education system is more centralized. Teachers are less autonomous — their performance is monitored more, and there’s a higher emphasis on student achievement than in other developing nations.

But, importantly, Vietnam seems to invest in education more than the other developing countries, especially considering its lower GDP. It has a lower level of economic development the other seven, the parents aren’t as educated, and it has fewer schools in the cities and more in villages and small towns — all things that might not be particularly conducive to a good education system.

Despite the economic disadvantages, the quality of school infrastructure is better in Vietnam, as are the schools’ educational resources. And even though there are fewer computers, they’re just as likely to be connected to the internet, which the researchers interpreted as evidence of Vietnam’s increased investment in schools. There also seems to be more access to early education, as Vietnamese students were more likely than others to have attended preschool.

Of course, these factors together only account for half of the achievement gap. The rest of the Vietnam phenomenon remains a mystery. But the results bode well for education and economic research, as we have a better idea of what can make a relatively poor nation perform just as well as a wealthy one.

Thank BI UK for this amazing topic.

Is it possible to be inclusive while still being aware of your sexual preferences?

It’s Saturday y’all. Yassss

I’ve come across one article on Pride.com and It’s very interesting. Btw, Hello Pride.com, How u doin’?

The article is about “I’m Only Attracted to Other Cis Gay Men — Am I Transphobic?”. Many of us not really understand what is Cis Gay men mean? Ok, let me school you around LGBTQ community a little bit. Are you ready? Jump on my train. Yeah!!

Cisgender (often abbreviated to simply cis) is a term for people who have a gender identity, or gender expression, that matches their assigned sex. Cisgender may also be defined as those who have “a gender identity or perform a gender role society considers appropriate for one’s sex.” It is the opposite of the term transgender. There are two versions of the term: cis male for “male assigned male at birth” or cis female for “female assigned female at birth”. Further derivations analogously include “cis man” and “cis woman”, as well as cissexism (or “cissexual assumption” or “cisnormativity”).

So here is the article:

I am a cisgender gay man who has only ever dated cisgender gay men. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, it hurts my heart to know that my sexual and romantic relationships aren’t inclusive of the community that includes me. To say I’m ‘transphobic’ is obviously a bit extreme, but am I consciously or subconsciously perpetuating discrimination by not being sexually attracted to someone who is transgender? And furthermore (hypothetically speaking) am I doing the same by not being attracted to someone who is bisexual or black or genderqueer?

Where is the line drawn between preference and prejudice?

Being gay, I am (by definition) only attracted to a person of the same sex (which in my case happens to be men). I do not hate or bash women when I say I’m not attracted to girls, so the same principal should be applied about trans men when I say I’m not attracted to them.

But aren’t trans men…just men? The answer is (obviously) yes.

As I thought more and more about gender identity, it became glaringly obvious that the idea of “a man” is just a major social construct. But I think it’s in this social construct (no matter how shallow it seems) where my sexual attraction lies. Hell, I probably couldn’t pick a trans man out of a lineup of cis men if I tried, so it’s obviously not the physical attraction that’s holding me back. Is it the sexual aspect? If I’m being honest, I’m not sure.

I’m not sitting here saying I’m never going to be attracted to a trans man. I just haven’t been attracted to a trans man…yet. And I think it’s in this statement where the difference between preference and prejudice lies.

I am open to dating a trans man. Sure, I am attracted to the gender role society has placed on men, but that’s not to say a trans man couldn’t fit that role. Although my sexual attraction is somewhat narrowed, I would never exclude an entire demographic of people based an oppressive, overarching, and wrong stereotypes.

Everyone is beautiful, but not everyone is attracted to everyone — and that’s ok. What’s not ok is when people start to group everyone of a certain gender, race, or sexuality together and deem them as collectively undateable or unfuckable. That crosses the line into conscious and subconscious discrimination.

We’ve all heard the now infamous saying “no fats, no femmes, no Asians, no Blacks.” It’s blanketed, preconceived judgments like these that perpetuate stereotypes and perpetuate prejudice, and it can happen to trans people, too.

I am a cisgender gay man who has only dated cisgender gay men. I have yet to be totally inclusive of the community that includes me, but being open to the possibility of all kinds of people allows you not only to shed your life of prejudice, but also firmly plant your feet in preference.

So what do you think?

Hey, How’s Your Credit?

ជំរាបសួរបាទ!

You may wonder about the title right? Ok, let’s start!!

If you’re on the first date, will you ask a man/woman if he got a good credit? …

I don’t know about y’all but I think this kind of question should be ask on the 3rd date, and let me explain why! If you ask on the 1st date, I’ll automatically think you are golddigger.

By the 3rd date… How can you ask? I’ll just “how is ur credit boo?” since I’m a straight shooter.

Actually, If you shy to ask, then look up his name and find out honey. Checking someone information may need social security number, but good for me cuz I got friends haha. That my cousin Thida is for baby. lol

Offended? 50/50 on this. Some may think of it as a joke too, like me. Financial is deal breaker. I’m trying to build my life. So if you want to be in my life, then you got to have thing that keep us moving on to the next level. If you can’t do that, bye!

Well…when you’re younger, i’ll give a little leave. But if you dating in a certain age, you need to ask those important kind of question. Eps if you plan to do the deed with the person you on date with. Most women didn’t think about this. I know love is blind but money ain’t blind on me honey. You want to put love before life? You a stupid bitch! I tell you that much. Btw, don’t ask about other people credit if your is bad.

People may think I’m a golddigger but look! I’m not ready to jump on your trainwreck. I have to live my life on a certain standard. Of course I don’t want you to think that I’m a golddigger because I’m asking you about my future and your future. If you’re not ready, I got to be on a certain standard for you to take me on a date. I just saying. The type of person that I’m gonna go out with. You have to be on certain standard to date a person who on a certain standard, and also your mama to be on certain standard too.

U know what, here is the good answer if you don’t feel comfortable answering it, just tell’em you have a really good business manager, his name is Leo LinkedIn. Tell’em that u know… It’s likes it’s none of your business. That’s it! I know it’s embarrassing, but honestly is everything in relationship.

If you really love each other, ok I suggest you guy to look in a different way on how to make it work. On credit? Well…give each other idea on how to make your business work or any else plans. But this only apply if that person is working on his/her credit. Sitback and relax ain’t gonna be my boo. So here is another bye!

Thank you so much for reading 😀

Are Relationships Better Offline?

Hello Internet folks

Y’all may say “Pheak, relationship talk again?” Well…it’s life honey.

There is a new theory said that the best sign that your relationship is doing well is no sign of it online at all. I’m kinda agree with that! Wait.. wait.. don’t boo me yet! Let me tell you why.

Usually people who over shared about their relationship on internet like the picture of they kissing all the times, always together and change the status or other stuff which can be compensating that there might be not so perfect behind the scene.

I always tell my friends and most of y’all internet folks that there are something better held in reality. You know what I mean? You may say this is my lifestyle though, and hell yeah it is. I date a lot. So if I put this person on, then I have to put another person on. So y’all gonna look at me at different type of way. I just want to keep this real. If you’re in a relationship, I don’t have a problem like u know because a lot of time the thing about social media is that I can’t catch up, u know, whether it is my friend’s birthday or my ex’s birthday. Well…I do share some but not OVER SHARED!!!

To those people who overshared ur baboo, to me it’s like you trying too hard to convince me and yourself of something that may not be true… I’m just saying. U know what I mean though about the word “OVERSHARED”. It’s likes all the time you be like eh ehe eh!! Remember? Jessi J said nobody that perfect. Btw, if you give people too much detail on your relationship, then you just people the opportunity to judge you and the next thing u know is that they’re all over your relationship. I don’t want that! No no no no!

Out of my experience, I think relationship is going both way. All you need is balance. You can shared but not to overshared.  Oh oh wait. At the same if you didn’t see any sign of it online at all, I’m sorry but that a bad sign also. If somebody not willing to say this is my man or woman, that’s kinda weird too. Emm…if I’m going to see someone, I’ll go on to facebook to check whether that person is in a relationship or something like that. U know…

Thank you so much for reading. See you again soon. Peace 😀
