if you're allergic to pollen, that's just bukkake. pollen is plant sperm

[–] DonPiano@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, pollen is actually more like a separate generation of the plant, a (micro)gametophyte. They are whole organisms that produce sperm when certain conditions are met.

So it's a whole bunch of organisms just waiting to get sperm out, hanging out in your nose

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

yeah technically animal sperm is "a whole separate generation" as well, just that that generation only produces single-celled organisms!
