As for what I quoted, that bothers me. It bothers me that people value such a relatively pointless thing that amounts to a few minutes of fun so much and are so impatient that they're totally willing to throw away life-long love, probably the deepest form of friendship, just because they want it and they want it now.
Interesting that you refer to sexual interaction between loved ones as 'a relatively pointless thing'. Because to Hisao and Emi, it obviously isn't pointless. Sex isn't just physical pleasure, couples all across the world also use it to emotionally bond with one another. In fact, the last H-scene of Emi's route shows that Emi and Hisao use sex as a way to form a deeper emotional connection. Sitting together and exchanging smiles just isn't the same thing.
Without Emi, (assuming it's her path) Hisao loses his motivation to run and stay healthy, becomes depressed and lonely for who knows how long and most likely dies young. Without Hisao, Emi continues to hurt inside intensely, shuts everybody out and continues to live in denial indefinitely. They're the best thing that's ever happened to them, and you're honestly telling me that having to wait a little to fuck is worth losing that?
Apparantly, if the route is to be believed. It's not 'waiting a little'. To a highschool relationship (which may not even last all the way through university) between hormone-filled teenagers, waiting for years to do it is the same as not doing it at all.
That's crazy. It totally undermines the concept of love to me. People talk about how they'd take a bullet or do all these things for the ones they love, but keeping it in their pants for a few years is somehow over the line? I don't get it.
Because you're completely ignoring the emotional and the human aspects of sex in a relationship, pretending that it only has physical value for those involved. Millions of couples across the world would like to disagree with you. Birth control these days is reliable enough for people to do it without feeling like they have to dodge a bullet each time they sleep with each other. To many, many people (incuding your waifu and her boyfriend) a healthy sex life is part of a healthy relationship life and when one suffers, the other endures stress as well.
And yes, like I said, in a normal situation, the chances of pregnancy with safety on and pills and whatnot are very, very small. That being said, freak accidents aren't unheard of and something isn't responsible just because there is a smaller chance of it going wrong.
A chance small enough these days for most people to do it without worrying about it. Freak accidents happen with plane engines too, but people still take airplanes every single day, including pregnant people. Hisao has a heart condition. He could keel over and die every day. He'll never be in a completely stable situation. By your logic, Emi shouldn't even get involved with him. But she does. Sometimes, reducing whatever risks you can and then just living your life to the fullest without worrying about what you could lose is the best way to go. It's certainly the lesson your waifu learned at the end of her route.
and there are plenty alternatives to sex that can be a ton of fun too that don't do that.
Name one alternative that has the same combination of deep emotional and physical fulfillment to people that the act of a long and extended kissing and cuddling session, followed by foreplay and intercourse, followed by snuggling up to each other in the afterglow of the moment and engaging in some sweet afterplay tends to have. A game of hungry hungry hippos just don't give the same sense of fulfillment, fun as it may be.
Ask any accidental child of a struggling teen mother how glad they are to be living at a disadvantage because their mommy wanted the D really bad.
Out of curiousity, are you speaking from personal experience? Or are these excerpts from the abstinence-only sex education they might have taught at school? Because that's a rather extreme scenario you're bringing up.
I have to admit, I can now see why you like Emi so much. Your tendency to look at things as opportunities to lose something (and thus something that should be avoided) is quite a bit like hers.
(except with Emi it's relationships and with you it's sex)
Again, yes, freak accidents happen. But here's the thing: that applies to all sorts of things. Car accidents happen every single day, yet people (even pregnant ones) still get into cars on a daily basis. I'd even wager that the chance of getting into a car accident each time you get onto the road is higher than the chance of pregnancy due to contraception failure during sex when contraception is used properly. Most people don't let that stop them from driving.
