Discussion w/ a Theist RE: Premarital Sex

[Angrboda]

Plenty of animals, including of course humans, have sex for other reasons including pleasure, but chief among them, especially with such great apes as bonobos (where about 60% of sexual contact is female-female), is social bonding.

Yes, but bonobos presumably aren't devastated by an unexpected pregnancy, and don't have to travel to blue states in order to get bonobo abortions. They probably won't lose the chance to go to bonobo universities, get bonobo jobs, and fully enjoy their bonobo lives. If any of those things were true, then a bonobo might also want to think about whether sex at a young age is really worth it.

Actually, I suspect bonobos face many of the same risks that a human mother does. After the early stages of pregnancy, risk of death or complications rises dramatically. The bonobos female likely faces the same risks.
