Unless you skipped sex ed class, you probably have at least a basic understanding of how babies are made. An egg (ovum) needs to be fertilised by sperm during a precise window in the menstrual cycle for life to happen.

Sexual intercourse provides optimal conditions for reproduction. But that doesn’t mean that every pregnancy happens this way. There are also examples of women conceiving in extremely rare circumstances that you’d expect to be impossible.

  1. Via anal sex

  2. Via oral sex (and one very heated argument)

  3. Splash pregnancies

  4. Double pregnancy

These examples are of course extremely rare – so you probably don’t need to worry too much. But if you aren’t looking to get pregnant anytime soon, be sure to use contraception.

    It can’t be the balls because that’s where the pee is stored?

      That’s just science. It’s in the knees, which is why getting kneed in the balls hurts both parties. Also why you get “babies trapped in knees”.

        Damn. I was wondering, thanks for clarifying

          No problem. I have scienced before, so this isn’t my first rodeo (although I was dropped on my head in the last science rodeo so…).
