To the first? Because the tech industry is filled with guys who are so paranoid about their masculinity the idea of handling the sperm of ANYTHING is unacceptable. IT's gross, man, I mean, it practically amkes you like, a homo or something, and that's bad amirite?! *rolls eyes*

Ultimate example of this: former employer of mine, arrested by the cops. Caught, arrested, sentenced, sent to jail. Came the time to clean his condo and put everything he owned into storage.

Four of his lovers, two current, two exes who'd remained friends. And me. I was the only female.

Yet once they moved the bed, I was the one who had to come in and move the magazines, the bottle of lotion, and the hand towel found there. All four of them went into deep squick.

I finally yelled at them that they were cowards, that they'd done more than handle a rag, considering they'd all slept with him. They protested I just didn't understand.

Oh, I understood. I understood men are way too easy to gross out. Phhht.
