I hate dentists. Or rather, I hate dentistry. I'm sure dentists are nice enough. I can birth babies at home with no pain relief fine, but start drilling into my tooth when it's fully numb and I lose my mind.
Also, they insist on poking and scraping at your teeth to inspect them with little metal hooks and other scratchy implements that will destroy the enamel and create cavities, giving them work to do 6 months later. I avoid dentists because I am convinced their inspections are bad for your teeth. I only go when I know there's a real problem. Last gap between visits was 13 years, and I just went in for a tiny filling.I hate dentists. Or rather, I hate dentistry. I'm sure dentists are nice enough.

I vomited my way through 9 pregnancies during that time. Apparently vomiting is great at helping you lose weight, but not so good for your teeth.Unfortunately Sarah has been using the same strategy, but her teeth aren't as durable as my own...
I've never vomited my way through pregnancy but I have lost weight on occasions. I'm delighted to say I do still have most of my teeth though.I vomited my way through 9 pregnancies during that time. Apparently vomiting is great at helping you lose weight, but not so good for your teeth.

Last time, I asked the dentist to give the anesthetic shot to my wallet coz I knew it would hurt so much when I got the bill.View attachment 2505
Finally!! Somebody who holds my exact same reasoning when it comes to dentists.

I'm kinda weird, and don't generally mind going to the dentist. I like the way my teeth feel especially clean after a cleaning. That said, I do think dentists charge way too much. Some also seem to engage in dubious business practices.View attachment 2505

Calcium absorbtion is an interesting thing. I remember reading your body only takes in calcium in the stage of digestion between when the acid treated food is released from your stomach into the small intestine and when the acid is neutralized. Also it needs to be a small molecule to be usable by the human body. I have had nine children over a bit more then 20 years. I used @FollowingHim's strategy for when to go in....(with an exception once when I had a bad toothache and pulled it myself ) but even without vomiting like @FollowingHim2 my nutrition was probably less than optimal at times in pregnancy ....so most of my molars are no more. Upside to that is ya can't get a toothache in teeth you don't have.I'm sure all the moms know more about this than I (a childless man), but I've heard that pregnancy itself is also hard on teeth. Apparently the body will strip out it's own calcium if necessary for the baby.
A friend of mine is one of three daughters born to a woman during about a 3-4 year period. The mom didn't take additional calcium during pregnancy, and all her teeth fell out immediately afterwards. That was a major bummer since mom was in her mid twenties at the time.
Baby will take anything it needs. People were always worried when I would lose weight in pregnancy, especially my first because that was really bad. They thought it was bad for baby. But I always told them that baby was perfectly fine and that was why I was losing so much weight, because baby was using it.I'm sure all the moms know more about this than I (a childless man), but I've heard that pregnancy itself is also hard on teeth.

So 40% of people would consider sex with a robot. What % of people would consider masturbating with a sex toy? A "sex robot" is just a fancy vibrator, fundamentally. The statistics are not at all surprising.
But everyone needs to watch Futurama's awesome explanation of why this is bad, from a few years ago:
