How can we handle hearing an unwanted pregnancy sex story?

The emotional aspects are not just limited to the couple. Family members and friends in these novels can also have strong reactions. They might be judgmental or supportive. The novels explore how these external reactions impact the main characters' emotions. For instance, in 'Room', the mother has to deal with her own emotions while also protecting her son from the outside world's reaction to their situation which was born out of an unwanted pregnancy - like situation.

Avoid hanging out with people who are likely to tell such stories. If you notice someone has a tendency to talk about inappropriate sexual topics, limit your interaction with them.

One should firmly and politely let the person know that such topics are inappropriate for discussion. You can say something like 'This is a private and inappropriate topic, let's talk about something else.'

Stay away from people who seem to have a tendency to share such inappropriate stories. If you notice someone starting to go in that direction, excuse yourself from the conversation.

Avoid being in inappropriate conversations or environments where such topics might be discussed. For example, stay away from certain unregulated online forums that are known for vulgar content.

One way is to educate people about privacy and respect. If everyone understands the importance of respecting others' sexual boundaries and privacy, they are less likely to spread such stories. Another way is to have strict policies in place, like in workplaces or schools. These policies should clearly state that spreading unwanted sex stories is unacceptable behavior and there will be consequences. Social media platforms can also play a role by having mechanisms to report and remove such content quickly.
