While looking through Cheap Sex by Mark Regnerus, one of the overarching points that he brings us is the fact that sex is actually very cheap. In terms of the birth control pill and contraceptives that girls take, in order to not become pregnant, the consequences of having sex have never been lower. Back in the day having sex was not just for love or lust, it was to make a baby and that happened often mainly because there were no prevention’s to the case. Nowadays with condoms, pills, and IED’s there are many ways to prevent childbirth, which is the main consequence of sex. Also with an uptick in pornography use, there’s a way to have a release of sexual build up with fully removing any possibility of having a child.
