When I was in about 4th grade in catholic school they finally gave us a sex-ed class. Much of what the teacher told us I already knew... but then they began to discuss how in some cases they need take the egg out of the woman and fertilize it in a dish and put it back in the woman. Knowing that masturbation is looked down upon by the church, I remember asking how they got the sperm out of the man, but I don't remember getting any answer..... I went on to believe there must be some sort of surgery involved.
