Marcelo's Reading and Thinking Log

There is an ongoing myth about sex and pregnancy that is spreading like the plague. People are now abstaining from sex in the belief that, should they engage in it, they would all of a sudden start having babies. Let me thus clarify it for them: about 200 million sperm cells are expelled in a single ejaculation. Of these, the overwhelming majority is composed of peace-loving ones who will never reach an ovum and are fleeing wars or just looking for a better life in another place. It is not fair that, because of one rotten bastard, you should make miserable the lives of millions of others who would make your own life a lot more pleasurable.
