Mary Szoch of the Family Research Council is really digging deep to rationalize the organization's opposition to IVF: "Pornography is an integral part of the IVF process ... That's not good for a marriage."

(4,815 posts)Donating to a sperm bank, I get why the sample is provided solo but for IVF, assuming it's a couple, why not let the lady lend a hand? I can't see it matters who's operating the equipment, so long as the product is properly collected

(175,863 posts)Basically the men have to masturbate in this phase of the process. The magazines are there if the man feels that he needs stimulation. The family member who went through this procedure found that part amusing and a bit embarrassing. For all I know, it may have been Playboy, which isn't exactly hard-core porn. Puritan Pukes.

(114,923 posts)In the movie, Whoopi's daughter, having learned that her mother used artificial insem8nation, wants to find the sperm donor, who turns out to be lecherous car salesman Danson. You can find it on youtube, and possibly streaming services.

(32,539 posts)who had to masturbate to provide semen to be checked to make sure his vasectomy took. So I suppose vasectomies will also be on the list of things these wackadoodles want banned.

(175,863 posts)That's a good question about banning vasectomies. Will MAGA actually want to deny men the ability to sleep around so the women can fulfill their God-given duty? I'm not sure, though, because they seem intent on punishing women only.
