When I first learned about sperm being single cells I still did not understand what sex was, I suppose I wasn't paying attention in class. At any rate I understood that getting pregnant had to do with sperm getting to the egg. I thought sex was just a man and woman being in bed naked together but I thought that would be so embarrassing so I tried to come up with ways to circumvent the embarrassment. I decided a man could take a bath or shower and then the woman would come and use the bath/shower immediately afterwards if they wanted to have a baby.
