Condoms Rob Women of Remarkable Chemicals (Not the Borowitz Report)

Before joining President Donald Trump's administration, right-wing commentator Robert W. Patterson argued against contraceptives because “condom use robs” women of the “remarkable chemicals” in semen; said married women in the workplace have undermined society; and suggested that homosexuality is a mental disorder and sexual orientation can be forcibly changed.

P.O.E.

at the risk of giving up my age LOL.
But it makes logical sense because if the semen can keep those hapless sperms alive,
it must have a boat load of nutrients.

But my daughter-in-law is a geneticists and OB.

Unprotected sex can actually implant the man's DNA in a woman -- as in, throughout her body. Minor stuff, but it's there. (I suppose this is also true for gay men.)

Even more so, if a pregnancy results, she becomes both part her mate and part her child.

No one has a clue about the practical result of this, if any.

I just found it creepy, and a reminder to be careful with whom one sleeps.
