    I think the joke is just that the individual’s subconscious supplied explicit imagery that the consciousness never asked for, like an intrusive thought. Doesn’t read to me as a comment on the couple sharing the info.

    “Sorry, my brain did a thing”, right there.

    Edit: it does not seem that the rest of the thread agrees with me lol

      Yeah I saw that. Seemed to me like the person is struggling with thoughts about sex. there isn’t even any indication that that is definitely even the way that couple are having a child either. We don’t know if it’s IVF or adoption or it could be sex. But that should be the least important thing in that moment either way. Their friends shared some news with them. Their friends thought they were supportive and close enough to do so.

      Few other posters are weirdly upset to hear when someone shares baby info like how dare someone make them think of sex. I don’t think that should be the take away over life changing news.

      if they are struggling with thoughts about sex, maybe they look into why they are struggling especially over something like that considering sex Ed should have covered that well before the age of child rearing.
