It is possible to have intercourse and at the same time deliberately
attempt to prevent conception; in fact these attempts (when the methods
are used correctly) work most of the time.  Thus it is fallacious to
argue that consent to intercourse is necessarily consent to pregnancy,
because the second is not a necessary result of the first.  The very
existence and use of contraception indicates that people consent to 
intercourse *without* consenting to pregnancy.
