Risk VS Benefit of The Unlay?

Out of boredom and having to sit in a training session, a slide showing that women who had the first pregnancy after 30 have a recorded higher risk of developing breast cancer somehow looks and sound like a pain in the ass to me.

As self-rescue act, I have sent this piece of info out to my gal gangs and I have a few returns, which have lighten my heavy day being needed to sit in a session with those who try to get their job done.

“Girls, do you know that women having first pregnancy after 30 have higher breast cancer risk? Better get laid and lay soon!” My sms spread out, and unexpectedly, the replies were of much fun and have provided some insightful story of the so-called new breed of gals in the 21st century.

“Sigh, no partner now…” mid 20s Eve who has just got out of a turning-bored relationship reply solemnly. Eve has been seen dragging her single guy friends around, trying to ‘rejuvenate’ herself in the social clubbing scene again. Her acts, unavoidably has created much speculation that she’s ‘on heat’, for another new relationship, of course.

“Any target recently? The risk is even higher if you never give birth, ha-ha!” the usual cool and sensible Meng threw in another alarming piece of pain-in-the-ass fact.

“Still looking for the elusive sperm! Got any fine specimen?” Ann, in her mid 30s, who is a single mother of 7 years old and been considering her daughter’s ‘request’ for a sibling.

“I had an ‘accident’ last weekend and am worried. Now it seems getting pregnant at is moment not a bad thing at all…” Unpredictable 26-years old Ping responded cheekily! This girl currently enjoying her new long distance relationship, after gone through a horrible break up, when the ex has knelt and knock his head till bleed to ask for a patch up. Long distance relationship came in as a good option to her after all the ‘stickiness’ of a close distance one. Cause and effect, as per say.

“Wow, let’s start production tonight! Ha-ha!” Jas, in her outspoken self. Positive response as expected as she just got to her ‘new acquired’ long-distance boyfriend.

“It’s so important until you need to send this sms 3 times in a row? He-he!” Ling complaining away of my phone acting up, while straying away from the ‘main issue’, probably a huge pain-in-the-ass to her too.

“So, what’s positioning message are you sending me? That’s why la-, I go gym everyday to minimize risk.” Replied Ho the early 30 in her usual product manager perspective, who’s also actively involving herself in the ‘flesh-flash’ uptown gym activity. This KL city gal has created some fears and worries to her mum as she decided to invest in an apartment of her own a year back.

The thing is, it looks like things will never be easy for the single girls in town. Having to face the fact that getting into relationship, and getting laid as well has never been a easy path (though one can get laid quite easy, I’m sure, but pardon me, I am referring to the one complimented by a good’o boy-girl relationship!

As firm as we want, while our single ladies out there proudly announce to the world and ourselves that it’s OK being single and uncommitted, now it seems the mother universe has lured its way into the girls’ attention, calculating a set of risk versus benefit of ‘get laid and lay’ formulation.

I can’t help to think that, is this a sign saying, it’s not that OK, after all, to exclude ourselves from the motherly responsibilities that has been assigned to us, and that we should seriously reconsider of getting into the heart wrenching relationship cycles…

If only guys can make our life easier… Now what says you, mother universe?
