It means they’re having bareback sex and the man orgasms while inside her.
It should not be tolerated at the workplace. I’m forced to listen to this rhetoric because my shift isn’t done yet, and I can’t leave without getting fired. I’m forced into a sexual discussion without consent, and it’s so graphically disgusting that I feel nauseous.
Grow up love, your dad shot a fucking red hot load into your mum and thats why you’re here. 21st century ridiculousness. Very unpopular opinion have an upvote.
red hot
You should see a doctor…
I am very happy to see, reading the responses, that this is indeed an unpopular opinion. You sound quite squeamish and prudish. The couple is already presumably having sex, why in the world does it bother you that they acknowledge (with a completely not graphic euphemistic comment) that they want a baby? It’s not a sexual comment.
Upvoted for unpopularity.
I think it’s a common opinion in childfree circles. anything to dunk on “natalists”.
It’s a euphemism designed to avoid explicit detail. You should be thankful for the phrase.
Also, it’s one of the most natural things imaginable, maybe work on understanding your own sensitivity rather than bringing other people down for being human.
By OP’s logic, you shouldn’t be able to tell anyone you are pregnant or that you have children because that eludes to the fact that at one point you’ve had sex. Next HR is going to remove the bathrooms from the office, because it assumes that people are pissing somewhere.
You probably also shouldn’t mention that you have a mother or a father because that forces OP to picture your parents doing the deed to make you. Same goes for siblings and grandparents.
I agree, knowing other people have sex is absolutely fine, in fact I assume it as default for basically any adult in a relationship. Not using protection may be unwise in almost all cases, but trying for a baby with a partner is the main exception, and it’s never been gross.
I understand that a lot of people have been raised with shame, and I feel a certain pity for them, but I’m not a fan of treating this shame as righteous.
Literally every human being around you exists because of sex. Imagine being creeped out by existing.
I’m disgusted for existing, but not because sex exists…
Why are kids these days such prudes? How do you think you got here lol.
“I’m going to the bathroom” is sexually graphic, and disgusting.
It means ejecting urine and or feces from the body and it finishes in the toilet.

The phrase “we’re trying for a baby” communicates the intent to start a family without eliciting unwanted images of raw dog cream pies. That is why we use it. If you are having these thoughts about your coworkers from this phrase, I submit that you are the problem.
This must be an American.
This is a truly US level of being uncomfortable with the basic fact of life.
Us Suburban cutlure breeds this shite
Yeah, in the city we fuckin
In the countryside, we fucken too
Graphic ? meaning you’re picturing it mentally ? that’s you lacking control over your own brain
Even the Victorian era thinks you might be a prude.
Honestly, you might need therapy. But definitely an unpopular opinion, I’ll give you that.
Fantastic unpopular opinion. Post is work of a scholar.
Yeah… OP is a clown but the post is actually proper for the community haha
Good job!
Why are you upset? I think you’re mad because gay people don’t want to hear about straight sex practices. Please answer this question.
Are they going into detail about their sex or did they just say they were trying to have a baby?
If it’s only the latter then it’s about as inappropriate as women showing their bare ankles in public and you may be overreacting just a tad.
ETA: please answer this question.
Pff dude you think when you say that you are gay, that you have a pure platonic relationship where you wear gloves to hold hands?
Lol wat?
The sentiment is anti social. If you don’t want hear people talking about something, go stand somewhere else.
I highly doubt anybody holding you still and forcing you to hear about all that disgusting heterosexual sex.
It would be weird for someone to randomly walk out of their office.
How small is this “office”
It’s not his fault he’s in a neighboring cubicle
Were you immaculately conceived? Or did your parents try for a baby?
Look at the up and down votes. You did it, OP <3
You are definitionally wrong. A graphic description means, “Describing or depicting in vivid and realistic detail.” Saying, “We’re trying for a baby,” would be considered euphemistically sexual at best. A graphically sexual description would be something like, I don’t know…“having bareback sex and the man orgasms while inside her.”
No offense, but there is a point at which others aren’t at fault and the behavior you’re asking of them is ridiculous.
I’m a gay man. If I said to you, “my boyfriend has bareback anal sex with me and cums in my ass” at work, would you find it work-appropriate? Please answer.
False equivalency, obviously.
That being said your mindset is literally the mindset the homophobes have… Hearing the words “gay couple” means having to think about homosexuals and causes them discomfort and they want it gone. You literally just identifying as a gay man makes them think of exactly what you typed out there.
False equivalency here, gay bro. Words mean things. Your original example was a euphemism, not graphic detail. Then you equated it with graphic detail, not euphemism. Most of the time, when people say they’re “trying for a baby” (sorry, was that too graphic for you?) the meaning is more than “We’re having vaginal sex.” it’s also “We’re being intentional, have discussed it together, decided we both want it, and are excited about being parents.” Furthermore, there is a possibility that this couple has struggled to have kids for vairous reasons, and are still determined. Maybe go have more gay sex and let your orgasms calm you down, gay bro.
They aren’t saying that, though. It’s the equivalent of you saying “my boyfriend and I are going on a cruise.”
What do I even reply to this?
Me personally and genuinely, would reply with “ok.” or “cool.” and that would be it.
“I’m a gay man” might already elicit the image you paint in some people.
So not that different.Your example was “we’re trying for a baby”, not literally your first sentence in your post.
You are also able to use the euphemism. A queer couple can say “we are trying for a baby” to refer to the process of adopting or ivf or anything like that.
We also use “I’m trying for a baby” as a euphemism for sex. In fact, my favorite euphemism is “just dropping the kids off at the pool”
“not trying for a baby, just through the motions.”
OP does not know what “sexually graphic” means.
Well technically he is projecting sexually graphic here for us.
