But she does sound a little crAzy!!! :) Well, if I remember my 6th grade sex ed correctly, human sperm can live for about 24 hours outside the body. Obviously they start dieing off immediately after ejaculation, but if all they did was have oral sex, then it would be pretty easy for her to keep it and store it, by simply spitting it out into a container and then freezing it, or even simply artificially inseminating it. That's pretty much exactly what couples who are trying to get pregnant do, except that they both KNOW! RE: Man Can Sue Woman For Sperm Theft Distress |
