UNWANTED PREGNANCIES: PSYCHOSEXUAL PROBLEMS.
As we have said, sexuality is simply one aspect of an individual’s personality and women who get pregnant when they know they shouldn’t often have some kind of psychosexual problem of which they may be unaware. The types of psychosexual disorder involved are numerous but a few of the commoner ones are: a woman who believes that reproduction is the only justification for sexual pleasure. Such women may have had several babies yet deny that they are interested in sex. A second category includes those women who unconsciously believe that sex is sinful and that pregnancy is a punishment for their sin. This means that there must be a risk of pregnancy if they are to enjoy sex. Other women believe that sex is something done to them by a man and is therefore something for which they have no responsibility, so they don’t bother with contraception because to do so would be contradiction. Many young women who believe that love is the only justification for sex, refuse contraception until they are sure of the man and then get pregnant in the intervening time. Some women who don’t accept their sexual drives deny them consciously yet unconsciously try to indulge them (by getting drunk, losing control and then getting pregnant, for example). A small proportion of women can’t tolerate any sort of contraception because they feel guilty enjoying any form of sexual pleasure. Some women are so filled with shame about their sexual drives that they don’t seek contraceptive advice.
Another common fear is that to accept effective contraception is to open the floodgates to promiscuity. Such women (especially when they are unmarried), refuse all contraception and then get pregnant. Some women are unconsciously incited to pregnancy by their mother (who wants a baby for herself) and then regret the conception when it has occurred. And lastly there is the teenage girl who has just started having intercourse. Such adolescent girls frequently refuse to accept that their status has changed and even though they are not virgins can’t bring themselves to accept the fact and continue to live with the fictitious belief that they are virgins. Many such girls say that they are better able to keep up the lie to their parents, and themselves that they are virgins if they don’t use any contraception. Such a girl believes she is still a virgin (albeit a part-time one) and for this reason doesn’t really need contraception. Such a delusion in a part-time virgin unfortunately leads all too often to unwanted pregnancies.
Many of these reasons for being unwantedly pregnant can be prevented with professional help and better sex education but parents certainly ought to be aware of them if they are to help their daughters both before and after marriage.
