This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's why I was so confused that they just leave it there.

Ok so let's talk about conception briefly. You cannot physically remove the sperm from a female's reproductive parts (fallopian tubes) after ejaculation in an attempt to prevent pregnancy. Sperm travels very fast. Douching does not prevent pregnancy and can even push sperm further into the uterus. Hormonal birth control can prevent ovulation and thicken the cervical mucus to prevent pregnancy (sperm has to enter the cervix to get to the fallopian tubes). Condoms should be self-explanatory as a physical barrier.
