I think what Johnny was saying is that a lot of times even good sex ed boils down to “boys use a condom, girls take the pill, no babies will happen” and so he’d never thought about that much beyond that. He wore a condoms, the girl he was with took the pill, no babies happened. But when Amy said she wasn’t on birth control, it threw him for a loop and he realized he needed to know more than pills + condoms = no babies.

Also I think tbh through editing and for lack of anything else to latch onto this got turned into something way bigger than what it looked like to me, which was a couple having a conversation about birth control options that was frankly handled very well and maturely and I wish we got to see more often in media. They just had to make it into a storyline the way they’d throw obviously fake tension into like the Brett and Tiffany storyline in a past season because otherwise they were too happy and functional and therefore boring to the audience.

Personally, especially in hindsight, I felt that the Laura and Jess conversation felt like two friends talking at a bar talking and laughing after a breakup about what she would do if she were to see her ex again to show her ex what they missed out on. Normally those conversations aren't recorded, but it was still disrespectful to Chelsea even though Jess didn't take any of the actions they talked about.

Sarah Ann on the other hand took an action writing to Jeramey saying what she said which was disrespectful to Laura. Oddly enough, Jeramey ran to show it to Laura as a way to show how good of a guy that he is.

yeh i think when Johnny is talking about "birth control" he's not referring to the broad definition that includes all contraceptives, he is using it as a word for "birth control pill". I know people that do this as well, they think birth control is like the name of the pill itself. So he was ignorant about what the pill actually does to a woman's body. He just knew it prevented pregnancy, but not the way it does that thru affecting hormone levels which can result in a lot of other side effects. He probably thought it was like poppin an advil lmao

I think Jonny just didnt want to use condoms because it would " decrease the sensation".
Pretty much just thinking about himself.

Dr. Honda, what Amy was saying regarding anemia was that going on the pill would’ve actually helped her health markers yet she was still against hormonal contraception for the understandable reason of not wanting to alter her hormonal milieu.

Any kind of blood loss (including regular periods) lowers RBC count, increasing susceptibility to anemia whereas hormonal contraception prevents or reduces period blood loss.

I swear, Johnny seems like he was homeschooled or grew up in a super sheltered home.

They are pushing the "natural method" on their SM channels now... Someone needs to tell Johnny thats how my 2 kids were conceived lol

@ness-lee-crunch 2 years ago

What's odd is Amy's gynecologist told her birth control would be BENEFICIAL to her. Not the opposite. I looked into it and it is true that birth control can help with anemia. They both seemed a bit stubborn on the topic.

For Chelsea, I think her making it light is by far the best PR strategy to defuse online hate!

Kinda irrelevant but Kirk NEEDS to do a review of the show Baby Reindeer! It covers in an amazing deep dive many topics he’s an expert in, stalking, male sexual abuse, complex trauma, grooming, all based on the main actor’s true story!

@jcwebb264 2 years ago

It seems like maybe he just didn't understand the side effects/health risks associate with birth control. Like I get migraines, which means I can only take 1 type of birth control, and it gives me PMDD. So a vasectomy is a real consideration in that context. I'm not sure what it means when anemia, but I can't imagine it would do much to expand her options.

@habeashumor9814 2 years ago (edited)

You're confused because you're not a traditional guy who expects women to take on all the responsibility of birth control. He's saying he never thought much about it and didn't educate himself about it, because no one made him. I hear that he and his partner are now using "natural family planning," in which the woman has to carefully and meticulously track her cycle, and the man has to do - you guessed it - nothing.

I haven’t heard of sponges since Seinfeld. Lol

@lenaw414 2 years ago

My theory is that they were indeed lying about not having sex before marriage (like AD clocked it as well) because they didn’t want that part of their relationship on TV for the sake of her very catholic hispanic family that seemed to be also sort of controlling. The whole birth control thing was just a charade. Although I do also believe he wanted her to go on the pill so he wouldn’t have to use a condom anymore eventually. I think they fought about it at some point and then he gave in when he learned how many side effects it has.
