You know, maybe they should start making ads that are suggestive in the same way that throwing a football through a tire swing suggests getting a boner... somehow. Like, the roof could be leaking, and the woman could put a bucket under it and then smile with extra-special satisfaction. Or she could mop a floor, put up some of those yellow collapsible caution signs, and someone else could pat her on the shoulder and say, "way to go" or something.
Or... I don't know, it's hard to come up with these. Like, what would be a cramps euphemism, or an appropriate visual metaphor for getting knocked up vs not getting knocked up?
ooh, I know - she could be out pulling weeds with satisfaction. "That'll show you for trying to grow here... you opportunistic little bastard."

This is why I don't work in advertising.
