Isn't this crazy - the amount of work people would put in just to have occasional unprotected sex. People are animals.

It's not crazy. Sex is one of the most fundamental and powerful desires we have. What's actually crazy, in a mostly positive way, is how much control we've managed to achieve over it at individual and social level.

Well, yes, we're really just pretending otherwise. Also agree with TeMPOralL's sentiment :)

Wowowow, isn't it like 10 days that are safe? I might be in very risky territory here.
This is sometimes called the "Rhythm Method" or "Fertility Awareness" and a lot of men have self-interested reasons for wanting to know this about a woman.
There is a history of apps optimized for this purpose. Some wholesome for married couples to use, and some for skeezy bachelors who want to track multiple women.
