A world where pregnancy is no big deal

[Brandnewbuddy]

So I had thought of a fantasy version of this but then realized it could go a more serious route, so Instead I came up with this sci-fi idea:

Picture this:

Woman calls her boss up: “hey gonna be in a bit late, I’m pregnant. Probably not yours. Nah, I’ll keep it.”

Cut to an older man fucking a young woman for all he’s worth.

“Have my baby you little slut, get knocked up with my baby!”

She rolls her eyes: “yeah yeah, that’ll cost ya a bit extra.”

Cut to a classroom:
Teacher comes in and addresses a bunch of young women:

“All right girls, you all are in your last year of High school so time to get pregnant! Hopefully this is your alls first time. Remember, I don’t need the details of how but, baring medical issue, you need to get pregnant before the end of the year to pass AP Bio.”

“Think I’ll have my boyfriend knock me up.”

“I think I’ll go with the basketball coach.”

“…math tutor. What? He’s cute and smart as hell.”

“Stepbro. I can get off trash duty for a month.”

So, a world where pregnancy is no big deal. In this world, if you get pregnant, the zygote embryo or uterus can be safely removed and raised within an artificial womb until it comes to term and then birthed by a machine.

You can either claim your baby or let it be raised by the state/adoptive family.

Maybe the tech was to fight difficult pregnancies or a common disease maybe it was to help repopulate a planet, but it’s here and life has changed forever.

So what kind of stories could be told in such a setting? Do people have babies just to see what would happen (like maybe a woman has multiple lovers to see who gives her the cutest baby but winds up staying with her current boyfriend but takes the cutest one with her)? Do some people virtue signal by sticking to traditional birth?

This is more a brainstorming thread. I actually don’t have a full idea for the setting.

Sounds like portions of Brave New World and a Clanner eugenics program.

Maybe the embryos are needed for future space colonization (or other sci-fi reasons) so that way the world population isn't growing like crazy with all these fertilized embryos. They are being sent to Kepler 22b to be the next generation of settlers.

So the government is paying for good quality embryos. That's the incentive for it. And they want diversity too. So each embryo must have different parents to get your money.

I'm not sure about being forced into pregnancy to pass a test.
But maybe it's the future version of only fans? For the girls who embrace it, they can make SERIOUS money. And those that only do it a little can still basically get a part-time wage from just a little "work" every now and again.

What do the guys get from it? Other than sex? Do some guys know they have better genetics, and will earn the mothers more money?

It can be great as comedic erotica.

I imagine there would be deserted condom stories same as video tapes ones.

That's where I see this. It's hard to imagine the pro-preg culture.

What about a world where people are increasingly unfertile to the point where pregnancy in a committed couple is rare. So the culture has shifted in a very freely sexual culturr and birth control, nearly a thing of the past.

If a woman does get pregnant, she can either carry to term and allow it to be adopted or donate the fertilized embryo for another woman to carry.

This had created a very sexually free society rather than a handmaid's tale situation.

If this is the case, there should be pretty normal (but 18+) areas when sex isn't just not forbidden, but encouraged. Very suggestive posters everywhere, publicly available container with sex toys, extra clothes, and such, etc. It's a normal view that the two people fuck on the train, or that during business meeting a woman is double penetrated by her coworkers when they just talk about stock market and such. In fact, it's kind of like my early teen erotic fantasies.
