Let's talk about sex, baby...

sorry, a comment to the last post (about Anita and protection) got me thinking...

If I recall correctly, when Anita started with Jean Claude, there was some talk of Vlad Syndrome (and later on something called Mowgli Syndrome if a woman conceives with a lycanthrope in animal form). it was omggod horrible, oh the poor children, yadda yadda yadda.

Has any of this been addressed after those mentions, and what Anita's doing to prevent pregnancy? God knows she's too sparkly and special to get an STD...

(please forgive if this has already been addressed. I did try to find it in the archives, but my googlefu/tagfu has failed me)

Wasn't there the one book where she might've been pregnant? Honestly can't remember any mention of birth control before then, when there was (I think) something along the lines of "Welllll, we use condoms when we remember them."

Yeah, there is the pregnancy scare in Danse Macabre and another one in Blood Noir after her two-day boinkfest in the hotel room with three strangers.

Anita is on the pill, except for the six months she goes missing and she stops taking it, which lays the groundwork for the first pregnancy scare. She also uses a condom once with Jean-Claude (as dwg says) and once when Nathaniel forces her to wait long enough for him to slip one onto Byron during Incubus Dreams.

But, Anita tends to rely solely on the pill as her form of contraceptive.

Im sure I can remember it being mentioned that Weres have fast metabolism making it difficult or them to take meds as their body would burn it up to fast. Since Anita is almost a Were, and seems to have some screwed up hormones/biology going on I wonder if the pill would really be effective as it would on a normal human.

If its still effective for her to use hormonal contraceptives she would probably be safer either getting an implant in her arm which works for up to 3 years at a time, or having one of the kind that is injected every 8-12 weeks, so atleast if she blacks out for days at a time she would still be protected. Also with such a hectic lifestyle I would be suprised if she could remember to take a pill at around the same time everyday.

I suspect I have thought about this a little to much.

I've been wanting her to shove an IUD in there since the middle of NiC. In fact, that amulet that serves as 'keep Mummy Dearest away' that she got from the tigers that she forgets to take with her, well, two birds, one stone...

Honestly, if I was literally forced to have sex every five freaking minutes, I would get my tubes tied. And then shoot myself.
