Beware of the Tadpoles
There is nothing in Indian journalism that quite matches the entertainment of Dr Mahinder Watsa’s sex advice column in Mumbai Mirror. Check out this question and answer from today’s edition:
Q. What is meant by sperms and can it be dangerous to me in the future?
A. This is the mature germ cell, which are produced in the testes (the two spherical objects that hang in the bag scrotum) under the penis. The sperms are like tadpoles, which rapidly move and when ejaculated in the female vagina can fertilise the egg (ovum). So it can be dangerous in that it can lead to unwarranted pregnancy if you are not careful.
