Glowing Balls

It is often said that people living in poverty have more sex than the middle or upper class citizens do and statistics show that birth rates do go up as your standard of living goes down.  Although this might be the result of sex being the cheapest form of entertainment that exists on the planet, it also could be because people who are more well off tend to analyze things and then decide, while poor people might just say fuck it.  Not too long ago, what people enjoyed doing in bed was a very private affair, and private meant that it was not mentioned.  Bill Clinton said that oral sex is not sex and this brought blow jobs into the mainstream, just as much as the milestone movie Deep Throat did.

You would think that this would have been a nightmare for Hillary, but she stood by her husband throughout the Monica Lewinsky scandal.  Most people will feel sick inside when they realize that their partner has been unfaithful and has cheated on them.  Should you forgive your partner to save your marriage, or is it better to go berserk and get an attorney?  If you are tired of their sanctimonious bullshit and you know that they are going to do this again and again, then I feel it is best to end it before you get hurt again.  Since no triangle can have more than one obtuse angle, is it OK for a person to have more than one lover?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), failure to find a sexual partner is now considered a ‘disability’, which is classified under the heading of infertility.  Infertility has become a handicap and it is now defined as a disease of the reproductive system distinct with the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse or as the inability of a sexually active couple not practicing contraception to achieve pregnancy in one year.

Fertility treatments typically involves taking medications that stimulate egg or sperm production, or procedures that involve the handling of eggs, sperm, or embryos.  Advancements are being made for predicting what your unborn child will look like including traits like eye color, hair color, whether or not they will have freckles and what their blood type will be, using two-level inheritance (parents and grandparents) together with trait distribution statistics.  A new fertility treatment that is still being tested is called Bodacious barnacles and this involves being put in a trance while you watch these Glowing Balls float around on the projector in front of you.  These glowing balls seem to work well for female fertility, but these images were replaced with clams for male fertility treatment.

  1. Interesting article! I actually wondered why the poorest people are the ones that have sex most and have more children, i would say wonders shall never end. There are usually challenges in marriages and most importantly is to be mature and able to handle whatever differences we have..

    1. I try to fit the prompts in as best as I can to the story and often the ones that I leave for last are the ones that I have to fudge into it somehow. Since this story had nothing to do with boats or the sea Bodacious Barnacles was a left over and I actually think that barnacles are formed from shell leftovers.
