We Are Strange People...

[synirr]

First of all, let me say that my BF and I are both biology majors, and huge nerds. He has an awesome microscope, which he brought over the other day. Last night we were playing around with it, making slides of water from my fish tanks and whatnot... and we had to best idea ever for a slide.

...Can you guess?

That's right, I gave him a blow/handjob, and we looked at his semen under a microscope. You could see all the spermies very clearly, it was so cool!! I saw one with two tails, along with a few other common abnormalities. It was the neatest thing ever, but the thought did occur to me that we are probably very strange

You know, I went through fertility treatments a long time ago. I had an IUI done. ( Intra Uterine Insemination) When I was at the Dr's I actually asked If I could see, his sperm in the microscope! They let me too! I thought it was way cool! Unbelievable how in just one drop there are around 500 sperm isn't it! If I had a microscope at home I would totally do it too!

Strange? I don't think so.

I see you as comfortable with your bodies, open with your sexuality and inquisitive.

All good traits to me.

Not at all. I would have looked up the abnormalities and see what they mean if anything. I think your awesome to be so curious.

My husband was also a biology major, but we'd have to go back to the lab to try that out. Wait a minute. I think I need to take my husband something at the lab!

[sass]

I think it is cool too. I am always curious about ... well, pretty much anything!

I also think is it cool that "the boy" is now "my BF"!

[square]

Just curious, what magnification did you need to see the little swimmies?

And by the way, the older I get, the more I realize how odd even normal-seeming people are; there is almost no such thing as normal.

LOL! i've had a microscope laying around forever and never thought of this XD

sounds like fun though

[mystofpric]

Ohhh that is sooooo cool!!! I would have been all over looking at the little swimmers too!

I would have, if I didn't already know it's normal. When you think about how many individual sperms a male's body produces on a daily basis, it's astounding how few mistakes there are!! All we saw were a couple of tailless ones and one huge one.

I also think is it cool that "the boy" is now "my BF"!

Haha, thanks. I'm pretty happy about it too.

Just curious, what magnification did you need to see the little swimmies?

I think his ocular lens is 10x, so we were looking at them at 400x magnification, but they were probably barely visible at 100x.

Makes me kinda sad I'm a girl... I wish I could see my gametes under a microscope

Neato.

LOL

I did this before... my senior year of high school, his junior year..... we were both looking into premed.... so of course, we were interested! xD

*laughing* First off, glad you had a good, imaginative time!!

This reminded me of my senior year, in AP Bio... my class partner and I were doing a project during which we had to take pics of sperm under the microscope. We finished developing our own pictures and ran to our next class quite late. We burst through the door and the teacher just kinda looked at us, as if waiting for our explanation. "Sorry," I said, "We were photographing our sperm." (Neither of us were ever ones to mince words. ) The entire class started cracking up, with the teacher left sitting there, kinda speechless (but where it was us, not exactly shocked).
