Confused.
Hello! I was helped here yestersay by an amazing person that directed me to the seafarers guide ( or however you spell it. )
Im confused about somthing thag is stated in the artical.
It states that "people also do not have to worry about pregnancies being caused by things like semen being left on bedding, toilets or sinks, shaking hands with someone who maybe masterbated that day or any other kind of indirect contact. "
I know that this paragraph is stating that it is IMPOSSIBLE to become pregnant from any of that and that it is IMPOSSIBLE to become pregnant from any indirect contact. But, im confused on two things.
Is it saying that sperm cannot transfer from a hand to an object? Or from an object to someones hand or clothing? Or from someone's hand to someone elses hand, ect? Im not very clear on that.
Also;
What does indirect mean in this circumstance? What does indirect mean in a "sexual" way?

Re: Confused.
Hi Supernatural,
It's saying that, while semen/sperm can be moved from place to (for instance, someone ejaculates on their hand and wipes their hand on a towel, semen can get on that towel), sperm that has gone through that process simply can't cause a pregnancy.
When you're reading the site, "direct contact" with sperm means naked genitals coming into contact with nothing between them (like clothing or a condom). Indirect contact means pretty much everything else.

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
