Not to mention that the FS, no doubt, comes prepared with condoms.  I mean, WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND, would have unprotected sex with a guy knowing that they may have had sex with someone else the night before.

Good point. I was thinking of it in terms of precautions failing. Plus you have Clare's mom talking about the sacred nature of marriage, Andi's dad clearly stating more than 1 woman is still there, and Nikki (unlike Charleen) making sure questions are answered regardless of how much he smooches her shoulder.

OK, I don't think Juan Pablo refrained from sex, he doesn't seem like that kind of guy (but who knows), and there are many ways to double and triple layer (not literally) and reduce the odds of pregnancy.  And, yes, we don't know what the women would or would not be willing to do in this situation, and I try to refrain from theorizing too much about inside the fantasy suites.  I was really responding to the other points.

Condoms do fail. Birth control pills can fail, especially not if taken properly. So it is not always a safe bet. I actually respect him if he doesn't want to make the same mistake twice.

Oh for goodness sake. It's a brave new world since the 1960's.

Yes it is, but that doesn't change the fact that birth control can fail on occasion. A friends husband got a vasectomy and imagine their surprise when she got pregnant...Ooopsie.

My childhood bestfriend's two youngest children happened with birth control. The first one she was on birth control pills and the second was after a vasectomy. Birth control does fail.

A good friend of mine also got pregnant after her husband had a vasectomy.

Someone pregnant from a night in the fantasy suite….and not the girl he chose….now THAT would make an exciting WTA or ATFR!!!
