 (00:00) to (02:00)


Lindsey: [dancing in chair, sing-song] Yeah [x7]! Ohmigosh, I finally did it. Hi, everybody! Just waiting in the chat to see if anybody's hearing me. Do you hear me? Do you see me? Is this happening? [happy sounds] I'm so happy, hi everyone!

I did find out while I was waiting to get on this that Sabrina Cruz and friends are doing a livestream where they're I think prepping a new show where they answer questions, which is amazing. And so, I just want to start off by apologizing that I'm creating a conflict, maybe. And to say, please go listen to Sabrina and friends and then come back here. This is going to be recorded, you can jump in anytime.

If you do stay, though, I have an agenda, and I gonna answer some of your questions, and I'm so happy to see you all - it's been so long! Oh, okay, look at this; I've got tea. It's got a cock on it. [shows rooster on cup] That's how we do. Okay. I'm just looking at the questions quickly here. All right.

I really feel like I'm in a polyamorous relationship with you all. I mean, it's sexual in the way that we talk about sex all the time, but it's also adoration, admiration. I'm just, like, there's so much love for all of you. I've been doing Yoga with Adrian, and occasionally, she'll say, "I love you," and I've heard other YouTubers do the same thing, -

 (02:00) to (04:00)


L: - and it always strikes me like, "Wow, that's a really powerful thing to say to people that you don't know." But I get it. I get it! I feel so close to you all. 

Okay. Gosh, I just want to read your comments and not do what I'd planned, but I'm gonna do it. Okay, here we go - the list. [happy noises] Ohmigosh, I'm so excited!

Okay, so, first of all, I want to thank the people on Patreon. I call you "sexpla(i)nauts." The reason why is because when a video is not sponsored, there's no other income for it aside from patreon.com/sexplanations. So, that means that if you did not exist, that video would be something that the vidographer, editor, creator, like, we all make and don't get paid for. So, it's really, really cool that our work is supported in that way, and you make sex education accessible to everyone else to have for free. So, HUGE shout-out to Patreon people, because that's why we get a livestream here that wouldn't exist otherwise. All right, so there's that.

The second thing I want to do is just give you an update about what's going on. In January, I crossed the border, and I moved to Baja, California Sur, which is the lower part of the baja peninsula of mexico. And I was able to buy a house down there, it's much more affordable to me to own a home there, and live there, and I really, really want to learn Spanish, and also, I think the warmer weather is better for my joints. So, I bought a house down there, and if you're in the area and you want to visit, or you need a place to stay - this offer isn't necessarily for everyone, and I reserve the right -

 (04:00) to (06:00)


L: -  and I reserve the right to decline, but I also want to put it out there that I'm a midwesterner at heart and hospitality is my culture - so, feel free to come see me and beach maybe when COVID is less revalent.

I'm not there right now, I am in the States, and I am experiencing the weather anomaly that's happening right now, I woke up to snow and did one of the Home Alone falls, actually. I was carrying my little white dog that I have - her name is Donna, Madonna, and Donnatella Moss from West Wing. Anyway, I was carrying her down to where there was less snow so that she could go to the bathroom, and I full-on did the [whoosh vocal] off the stairs and landed on the stairs.

Luckily, I've been doing Yoga with Adrian, so my back didn't break, but yeah, that was the start to my morning, I'm in the States, I'm excited to get back to Baja, but I'm trying to make those decisions very carefully.

I have some goals for the channel, and just in general, and sex in my life right now that I wanted to share with you so that you know I still have aspirations and I haven't just given up on the world. And so I want to share those really quickly.

Sex-ed, like a "homeschool version" of it, because I think a lot of schools right now are carrying an incredible burden of having to learn different structures of education, how to get that out when kids either aren't in full time or aren't in at all. Lke, you're missing the classroom setting, and so it just becomes more challenging, and I think a lot of educators are having to carry that weight. So, to support them, to back them, to help supplement in any way that I can, I really want to do -

 (06:00) to (08:00)


- I really want to do some sort of Zoom sex-ed for all the different ages. I've been thinking about that, it may not happen, if any of you feel educated enough to do that, feel free to do that for your communities - that would be great. What else can I say there?

I did find in my email inbox yesterday a whole message of all these resources that have been published, I think, for that very purpose. I haven't read them all, but I want to go through and see if maybe that's an option as well, so that I also don't have to do a ton of extra work.

What else? Oo, I really wnat to create a foundation so that we can do something similar to the Effing Foundation but a "Dr. Doe version" that expands beyond things that are sexually related but maybe have an enormous impact on people's sex lives. And I want to call it "Doenation," but I don't know. Maybe you could let me know in the comments that I'll read later whether or not [laughing] this is intelligent at all.

Two more things:

One is that I am actively working on writing a book: I hired a writing coach, I'm part of a writing club - shout-out to Laura Marie Fleming and the "Write Your Freaking Book Already" group - I'm doing that. And I'm on the third draft; I'm editing it. If any of you are writers or cheerleaders or anything, and you want to send me support, please do that, because I have [sighs]... Do I have a little confidence in myself? I don't know. I just [chuckles] - writing is hard! Because I just want to be on YouTube talking with you and laughing and reading your comments and feeling warm, and mm!

And writing takes discipline, -

 (08:00) to (10:00)


- writing takes discipline, and you gotta sit down with your tea or not your tea and then do the thing. But I'm doing it, because what I've been told is that not everyone takes in information via YouTube, and I really want this information to be more accessible to people. So, if that means that all the Sexplanations content gets reformatted into a book, and we're gonna do it because we want more people to have this knowledge. Because some of you have sex with the people who have sex with the people I have sex with, and I want the sex to be great.

And also, not get your sexually transmitted infections. Not that you have them, because you're responsible. Or if you do have them because you are responsible and it's hard to prevent, I still want us to know how to talk about it and take care of ourselves. No shame. This is what happens when I just [chuckling] go livestream and say what's on the head. Okay. It's just-, I just like you all so much; I'm looking at the comments right now, and you just [happy noises], so good! 

Okay, the other thing - the fourth thing, goal of mine - I'm going to save for the end, but just know that it has to do with cunts and math and words. It's a project for us. As a group. I am requesting your help, it is a favor I'm asking of you.

Okay, so. This is called "Sexplanations Math Class," because one of the things that I have been plunking around in my head is how to do a full episode about the positive impacts of mathmatics on the world at large but in/on sexuality in particular, because I did an episode called "9 Intriguing Sex Facts," and the last one of them - I wrote this down because I want to -

 (10:00) to (12:00)


- I want to make sure that my apology is clear - I said, "less than 1/4th of U.S. workers report using math any more complicated than basic fractions and percentages." And then I made a comment about how this is an intriguing sex fact because we are still required to take mathemathics classes well into college, but we have so little sex education available to us. And I was huffy saying, "Why are we prioritizing the quadratic formula over intimacy?"

And it was not my intention at all to put math down, and I think that that happened anyway; that in order to say "why isn't sex up," I used math as an opponent and pushed it down to do this. And really, the argument that I need to make is just that we need more of "this" [i.e. sex/intimacy education], and I don't know how that happens in a school system when there are designated time slots for each course and information that we have and already, and I think maybe educators don't believe that we have enough time to interact with students and share the learning process with them.

So. As a way to make amends to the mathematicians and people at large who recognize the value of math - to all of us - to just say that it's not one or the other, that they both have their value - I just want to talk about math. And I want to do a math problem together. So, some other things there in the math episode-, or the "9 Intriguing Sex Facts" episode is that the irony of it is I did math multiple times in that episode to write that. I talked about the oxygen in the womb, I had to do mathematical calculations to compare it to the oxygen -

 (12:00) to (14:00)


- compare it to the oxygen at the top of Mt. Everest. I was calculating the mushroom sexes - if you remember there were something like 200,000 different sexes of this particular mushroom species. I also did math-, well, I didn't do the math, but there were mathematicians, statisticians who did the math on the LGBTQ youth report - that national survey that was done by The Trevor Projectt. Number of blowjobs was calculated, the time-range of powdered wigs that were used to cover up the symptoms of syphilis - like, so much math was happening in the episode where I was talking about the value of sexuality... and a bath.

Okay. So there is that. And there are four other instances of math that came to my head when I was thinking about Sexplanations, and I wanted to tell you those, and then we're going to do the math problem, okay?

Wow, I'm so distracted by your questions; they're so cool! [reads chat] Pegging, we're going to talk about pegging? Sure!

Okay, so I did an episode where I calculated whether or not you could attend-, or-, it's based on Alfred Kinsey, who's a sexologist from the 1940s, he did the math to determine whether or not somebody would go to college - men, in particular - based on their sex histories. Let's see, what else...

I did math when I was trying to determine the efficacy of using multiple birth control methods; so, if you use one birth control method, and it says that "within a year you have this likelihood of getting pregnant," but what if you use two? Or three? What is the rate then? Let's see...

Large-object conversion?

 (14:00) to (16:00)


Or - [laughs] large. object. insertion. I did math to convert inches to centimeters so that more of us around the world can talk about sizes and understand. Oh, there was math used when a lot of the research that I reference in episodes is all about people doing math, and one in particular, I remember just being like, "Oh, I love this so much," is when people were researching the auditory volume of tennis players? And I was able to use that to talk about moaning and how it increases performance for sex when you moan like it does for tennis players.

See? All this math happening - please know that I DO value math, and I want to value it more, and we're not opponents. We are... lovers? Siblings? Partners? Colleagues? Yeah. Okay. Before we do math together, though, as part of our collaborative learning and celebrating of another discipline, I do want to see some of your questions and just to talk directly with you, because I'm in this room with myself.

[reads chat] "How many times a week do-, should-," I'm guessing this person is saying masturbation math should or shouldn't be done. I'm working on an episode that will come out next... Wednesday? About masturbation and the frequency. So, if you have questions or you have statistics about that and you want to share them with me - please, by all means.

[reads chat] Whoa, it just jumped. Let's see, "Do I ever perform pegging?" All these pegging questions, -

 (16:00) to (18:00)


- all these pegging questions, "incest during COVID," lots of diversity here. "Hearts from India," I really like that. 

I - ohmigosh - learned yesterday that in India there isn't pornography right now. Or sex education. And so now, I want to do a whole episode called "To India, With Love," where I just teach people from countries in a similar position basic sex-ed, because if you don't have sex-ed in school, AND you don't have pornography - wow, how the hell are you learning things?? I'm so stressed out!

Okay. [reads chat] "Public hair gets caught in foreskin?" PUBIC hair? Ohmigosh, I love this so much. Oo, somebody said India has porn; now I really wanna know what's going on. 

"What do I think about Sexplanations' Discord?" I haven't checked it out. Ohmigosh, I like you all so much. [sing-song] I like you all so much. Yes, I agree, we need a video on estrogen. 

I have been thinking about all the money that's in the world, and how many people need it. Sometimes I have this fantasy about doing sex work and be like, "Okay, maybe there will be just be like one day a year where for half a million dollars I will have sex with someone professionally so that I can reallocate that money to people who need it." I think if I were gonna do that, I would want to talk to professional athletes, -

 (18:00) to (20:00)


- want to talk to professional athletes, people who get paid for the performance of their body, to understand what that experience is like.

Anyway. That's a thought. She's curious. All the time, thinking all the time.

Okay. [reads chat] "What do I think about the song 'WAP?'" I'm very excited. Songs like that have existed, at least, throughout my lifetime, and I'm glad that this generation has one. It seems - Ii need to go through the lyrics - but it seems very sex positive.

Okay. [vocalizes] Doo [x7]. [reads chat] I am drinking tension-tamer tea. All right, all right, I can't look anymore. You're just so beautiful and so smart, you're asking so many great questions - we gotta stay focused.

Here's the thing - I wanna do math with you. As a group. Because this is our way of appreciating the other field, and - not "the other field, like there's only one - but to appreciate math and to apologize. So one of the things that I would offer my students as extra credit was to calculate how many semi-trucks full of semen are produced, let's say daily or weekly, of semen.

And I won't-, I've never done the calculation myself. I want to go through the whole process with current stats. And maybe we find that you can't put semen in a semi-truck bed because...

 (20:00) to (22:00)


- they don't hold fluid? So, maybe we measure it by gas tankers? Milk trucks? And then I was also thinking, "Is it possible that the volume of semen that has been ejaculated over time is the quantity of something like the sea? Or river?" ... 

I don't know how these things work because I have prioritized intimacy over the quadratic formula. So, if anyone would like to help me, I'm all about this. We need some people to come up with the founding statistics.

Oo, and also, one of the curiosities that I had recently and haven't been able to test is whether or not semen changes volume over time. So if we put all the semen in a - what do we call it - like an "oil tanker?" What are they called? Should we draw some pictures? Mm-hmm.

[draws] Woop. I think that needs supports on this. Well... we're just gonna give you multiple tires as supports. And we need a window on this cab and some lights so we can protect the semen as it goes down mountain roads and not hit any deer.

[shows drawing] Okay. This, friends [laughs] - 

 (22:00) to (24:00)


This, friends [laughs] - it looks way more funny when I hold it up to you. What is this called? [reads chat] One of you said, "Teaching the quadratic as it generally done in-" Ah, no! [laughing] So fast, ohmigosh! "It does as an example of math being taught poorly, please watch 3Blue1Brown," - oh, I adore Grant - "his first lockdown math lecture video." Okay, I will do that.

We're gonna-, we're just gonna-, I'm gonna do better at loving math and acknowledging math. This [drawing], you're all calling a "tanker truck." Okay, well, one of you is calling a "cum truck." I appreciate that. Okay, we're gonna - this is our [writes] "mathematical cum truck." Okay, so - back to my curiosity.

If we put semen in it, and it's congealed, fresh semen, does the volume of semen change as it cools? I haven't been able to figure this out yet. Because I don't have access to semen at this present moment. The semen that was provided to me in the jar - for those of you who have been around since the beginning, I did an episode of some of my favorite things, and one of the things that I had in my office was this jar that had semen, which one of my perceptors gave me as a sample to show students what semen looks like.

Because oftentimes, people don't know what semen looks like, they've never seen it. It gets ejaculated into their bodies, or they never partner with somebody, -

 (24:00) to (26:00)


- they never partner with somebody, or they don't produce their own, etc. So, I wanted people to know what actual semen looked like, but by the time that that had gotten to me, I realized it had changed quite a bit, and over the years, it actually became red in color. So, I don't know how volume works like that, right? Because if you put water in the freezer, it changes states; it becomes larger. But if you go from warm goo to cool liquid...?

Okay, let's see. [reads chat] John says, "Yes, volume of most liquid changes with cold, how cold that liquid is -?" ... Okay, "semen ice," I like it. Well, that is something we need to figure out. We need to figure out if semen volume is going to increase when it just sits there, because otherwise, you would have to have millions of people ejaculating at the same time in to the mathematical cum truck, and that is not realistic. At all. Especially not during the pandemica. So. We need that.

We need to know - okay. So, I'm going to write down the things that we need to know. Maybe we don't answer the question in this livestream, but we're still doing the math together independently. We're thinking about math questions. So, one we have is [writes] "volume of cum truck." "Cum truck," one cum truck. "Average." I guess that's an average, -

 (26:00) to (28:00)


- I guess that's an average, too, because you could have different sized cum trucks.

"Average volume of semen." ... We need to know... Are we encouraging people to come more? Or are we saying, "This is how much is ejaculated per day," and we put it all in the same place? And are we including the ejaculate that goes into condoms, and are we including the ejaculate that goes into bodies? Mouths, vaginas, anuses, etc? Onto bodies? [whispers] What semen are we including?

Okay. Because, here's the thing: Are we calculating the amount of semen that ... Let's ask the research question! [reads chat] "Calculating all of it." "Theoretical semen," Mighty Joe? Okay. Ejaculations. All ejaculations. So, we need to know... [vocalizations]

[writes] The number of people... people ejaculating, which I think would be an age-thing and an anatomy thing. Oh man, -

 (28:00) to (30:00)


Oh man, all the different ages are going to have different averages. Well, we're gonna work through this. And then we're gonna do... let's see. [writes] "Average ejaculations per week?" You know, some people are ejaculating a dozen times a day, and some people are ejaculating once a week, so. [vocalizations]

Okay, then - I just want to make sure that we understand - we are aiming for the quantity of semen, not sperm. Because if we did the amount of sperm in a seminal load, then we'd also have to look at the average, because some people don't have a lot of sperm, and other people have millions. And then, we're looking at a very big number, which I probably couldn't read because I didn't take college... I took college math; just not enough of it. Enough to know that our voting system sucks.

Yeah, okay. Let's see. [reads chat] You are all so wonderful. Okay, here's someone - Amelia says "Due to particles and science-stuff, it means that solid particles are closer together, so then there is less volume." ... Less volume if it's gooey? ...

"By the way, the space shuttle external fuel tank held 535,000 gallons divided between 390,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and 145,000 gallons of liquid oxygen."

 (30:00) to (32:00)


"- oxygen."

I have seen some of those in... Alabama? When I went to - where did I go to there? It was awesome... Thinkercon! We saw-, it just spanned this, like, would seem like three football field building, and there are these huge tanks where you could see where they put all the fuel? Yeah! We should see how many of THOSE we can fill with semen. [happy noises] Shoot! That would be so great!

Mm, okay, somebody is asking about female ejaculation, which somebody once told me they liked calling "femen," and I adore that. I know that there's a lot of complication about what body-, who produces it, right? Because you could be somebody who has a vulva and skeins gland, etc, and produces femen but does not identify as female or woman. Oh man, that is tricky. I mean, that's a different question; we could answer that as well.

Total... the genital ejaculation? I want to know about seminl fluid though. That's like-, that is my goal. And now, I really want to not put it in cum trucks; I want to put it into... spaceships. [laughs] This is so great, you're all so great! Oh my goodness.

What other factors do we have to consider here? The practicality of it is totally off the table, because there's no way to get that quantity at one time, but that aside, I think it is possible. I want to know how many spaceships. I believe in us to figure it out.

 (32:00) to (34:00)


I believe in us to figure it out. Maybe we don't do it now. I'm going to read some comments and just see if anybody has any cheerleading for us or knowledge.

Okay. [reads] "Spunkships," genius! Spunk-, isn't there a NASA-, "Spudnik?" Spu-sp-, yep, mm-hmm. Okay. Okay, let's see. How do I get you to slow down? I'm just - yeah - I'm gonna hold it.

This person says, "I hate the myth that female ejaculate - which some can squirt - is not urine. Correct?" You wanted to wait until the "semen to space" discussion ends, but I'm reading it now. I don't know if you're saying that the myth is that it's NOT urine or the myth is that it is urine, but it is not urine. I'm sorry, somebody says that "we're pissing off the aliens in the audience." I'm just - I like you so much.

[reads] "Have I seen the Spaceballs spaceship?" I have, but I'm not recalling it, so let's search for it here. [typing] Space. Balls. Spaceship. Aw, it's like the Sexplanations RV! Cute. [reads] I think that we just want to focus on human semen, not animal semen. This person suggests getting hold of Brady from Numberphile - brilliant.

I have also asked -

 (34:00) to (36:00)


I have also asked Vihart if she would also do a math episode with me on this. Mathematicians, man. Important [x3]. I remember when Vi posted, I think on Twitter, about wanting to leave math for a while to focus on... activism - I want to be careful with my words - and a bunch of us just rallied and said, "Yeah, of course you can change careers and directions and do anything that you need to do," AND math is an important part of activism, because we need the hard data to know and to make decisions about things, like climate change and justice, etc.

Okay. [reads] "Olympic swimming pools is another way that we could measure volume," I agree. This person says that they just joined the livechat and they're so confused, so I'm gonna give a quick update to anyone who is hanging out with us today.

I am in the United States, and I am wanting to show my gratitude for Patreon supporters who make this kind of conten possible, and I also want to apologize for any suggestion that in a previous episode I was saying that sexuality is more important than mathematics, because one does not have to be compared to the other in that way - we can just both have value. And so, I want to do some math as a group, and one of the things that I came up with was calculating the volume of semen probably per day or per whenever -

 (36:00) to (38:00)


- that gets ejaculated. And we have decided to put it into a spaceship - a very large spaceship's fuel tank - to measure it that way. So, that's where we're at.

And I think that - I'm hoping - that people are working on finding [shows writing] this data. [written: "volume of cum truck, average volume of semen, # of people ejaculating, average ejaculations per week"] And oo, not the cum truck; we're gonna cross that out, and we're going to put "space shuttle."

"Average volume of semen, number of people ejaculating, average ejaculations per week?" ... Average ejaculations per week, but then doing it per day so that we have the volume per day of how much semen goes into the shuttle? How much semen goes to the moon?

So. [shows writing] This is what we're working on. And I did say that some of my goals are to maybe do some Zoom sex-ed for people who are homeschooling or just want supplemental education during this time when it's hard for people to get everything needed in the classroom. And also [sing-song] working on writing a book! And starting a foundation so that we can support some of these projects as a community. Because I really like all of you so much. Okay.

Yeah, back to the comments, because this is what I am living for right now. [reads] "Dr. Doe, as an AFAB person," so, assigned-female-at-birth, "I've never seen semen. What does semen look like?"

 (38:00) to (40:00)


I made a whole episode on DIY semen, and I would say that semen looks the most like the one that I made on the stove? There's a pot and you use math to calculate the quantity of ingredients to go in that. I estimated, which is also math-ing, and it kind of has this congealed, off-yellow, transparent base, and then there are swirls - I think I used yogurt in that one - and that is what semen looks like as a base. And then there's all sorts of variations depending on the person's body and temperature and where it goes and when it comes out and - yeah. I hope that helps. Let's see. "Translucent!" Not "trans-," well, translucent.

[reads] "2.5 cubic meters is the approximate volume. Average lifespan of a man is 79 years, Austin Powers' spaceship would be a perfect rocket for-, to task." Oh, I wanna see what that one looks like, because I haven't seen Austin Powers' spaceship lately. Recently. [typing] Austin. Powers. Spaceship. I used to have a crush on Mike Meyers. Oh, yeah [x3]. I think that that's even what I was envisioning when the Spaceballs one recommended, but this one - oh, Austin Powers.

There's a few of them. There's a Kerbal X, Dr. Evil's Vertical SSTO system - which is very phallic. And then, there's this... Oh! Jeff Bezos -

 (40:00) to (42:00)


Oh. Jeff Bezos' real-life version, which is very phallic. ... This world you all live in with me. It's unique.

Let's see. [reads] "Are rabbit vibrators safe for anal use?" It depends on what you are doing with them. So, sometimes people use vibrators externally - on the outside of the body - even on the outside of clothing, on the outside of bedding, and in that way - yeah, absolutely.

If you put an object into the anus, it needs to have a wide base, or in this case, the rabbit that's coming out - that is intended for clitoral stimulation - can prevent it from being absorbed all the way into the anus or into the rectum, or it needs a cord. So, something that you can hold on to keep it external or at least removable.

I don't know if on the packaging it is designed for that or approved for it, but often toys aren't in general. They don't have the FDA approval for use on the body anywhere, and they're marked as "for novelty use only," because it is very expensive to get products approved. So, I would say use your discretion, I would definitely put a condom on the product as just a level of keeping it clean, but then also doing hygenic practices like sanitizing, cleaning, using it for one person's anus and a different toy for a different anus. But yeah, it could be safe.

Just don't take the-, like, if this is [picks up object] I mean, that rabbit is huge. [hold water bottle] If it's this, don't put the -

 (42:00) to (44:00)


- don't put the whole thing in; just go up to [gestures] where the rabbit comes off, just put the phallis in. I think if you put all of this in - including the control and the remote here [shakes head], that won't be great. But! I don't wanna yuck your yum! People put all sorts of things-, they put up light bulbs and light year and cords and beads and all sorts of things up there, so. Just be really careful with your body.

All right, back to the comments because I like you all. [reads] "How women could take semen for - " wait... wait, you're moving. "How women could take semen for facial use with no fears of risks and consequences of it?" Don't fully understand this question, but I think what it's saying is the risks and consequences maybe of sexually transmitted infections? I mean, there is a belief that seminal fluid is great for the body, the skin. Gives you a glow. I need to do more research there.

[reads] "Do I still get lots of crushes?" Oh my gosh, yes. Who are my recent crushes... Ali Spagnola. [chuckles] Yeah, I found her recently; I didn't realize she's friends with my friends, and I have a crush on her. She's a YouTuber who does brilliant things; she's a very, very smart, kind person. As far as I can tell from the internet world.

[reads] "Do you know of any resources for reconnecting sexuality-, sexually with your spouse after a long period of depression-medication weight-gain when sex doesn't feel like anything anymore, and desire is momentary?"

I do! Youtube.com/sexplanations, there is -

 (44:00) to (46:00)


- there is a whole playlist, I think, of videos related to this, but one - I think it's called "Bringing Sexy Back" or there's another one - where somebody who had had a spontaneous abortion - what is typically called a "miscarriage" - had written me and asked how you recover from that kind of crisis or tragedy. Trauma. And the episode explanation, my response to it, I think applies to the question you're asking.

Okay. [reads] "If sperm is nearly clear, limpid-," oh, "limpid" is a word I don't know. [types, searches] "Free of anything that darkens; completely clear." So cool. "- Does that have to do with sperm count? Like, low sperm count?" I don't think so. I don't think that the sperm are contributing to the ... What's the opposite of "limpid?" [sing-song, types] Lim. Pid. Lim. Pid. [vocalizations]

I know somebody is writing in the comments what the opposite is, but I still want to know. "Opaque, muddy, opaqueness-," this is not English class, this is Math class!

I think in the DIY semen, it says which component creates the white appearance, and I don't think it is the sperm. The sperm makes up so little of the ejaculate itself. So little. But there are so many. Okay, what else.

Oh my goodness, some of you are -

 (46:00) to (48:00)


- some of you are so on this. [reads] "Falcon heavy have carry-fuel mass of 1,420,000 kg. Fuel density is -" that other big number, "- so that is -" another really big number "- of liters of capacity for semen. It looks like... 2 million liters of capacity for semen? But how much semen is being produced in a day?

[reads] "I cannot find anything about semen being a biofuel." And yet. Look at what it produces. It's amazing.

All right. What else have we got here. [reads] "Prostate gland's fluid." That is a great way to discuss it all without any sort of gendering. "To fill a 2 million liter space shuttle fuel tank, we need -" that very big number "- of people to ejaculate. Considering the average ejaculate is 3.7 ml." It doesn't have - okay. I think that's 540 million.

There's 540 million people. Easily! And... how many of them are ejaculating? I mean, a little less than half of the people in the world... will at some point in their lives be able to produce semen. And then fewer of those have-, like anyone under 12 probably, 11, 12 -

 (48:00) to (50:00)


- 11, 12 - - is not producing. And then, you have a very noticable drop in quantity with time. We can do this, I believe in us. I'm sorry that I haven't already done my math; I will do my math!

[reads] "1.5 billion men can ejaculate on a set day to create 1.46 million gallons of ejaculate. 3 billion ejaculated daily, with a lot hitting the floor."[chuckles] "How much sperm gets through retrograde ejaculation?" Good point. We don't know how much sperm is retrograted ejaculation, meaning that instead of ejaculating out the penis, it goes back into the body. "How many males are of-age to ejaculate?" Yeah, we talked a little bit about this. Okay. [makes percussive sounds]

[reads] "What do you think about the movie 365 Days?" I haven't seen it. "There are population pyramid chards that could help model the population target." "Can semen cure COVID?" I don't think so, but sperm in semen can create part of a zygote that can become a fetus, and then possibly a baby, and then a human who can be part of a team to use equipment that has been designed -


 (50:00) to (52:00)


- that has been designed by other sperm from semen that could come up with a cure?

Okay. I like you all so much. Next math problem. And then, I'm going to be done here. Sexplanations episodes are-, they're supposed to be short. This is me taking up so much of your time. But I like spending it with you.

All right. I really want a word - let's see if you come to the same conclusion as me. I really want a word to describe the intersection of two circles in a Venn diagram. So, more coloring time! [draws] Circle. Let's do another color. Circle. All right. [shows drawing, points, whispers] This, right here. If you look it up, it is called "the intersection." That's a very long word, and it doesn't come out easily, and you've got this cool thing called a "venn diagram," and you just want it to have the parts named in cool ways as well.

So. I was thinking about this in my curious self with my sexual brain, and I decided that I would like for this part here - which I'm going to make blue because that's also the color of our cum truck - to be called.. [shows drawing] -

 (52:00) to (54:00)


- the "cunt." And I want it to happen so badly, that I made a bet with a friend that inspires me to move forward with this movement, that I could lose, and I would like to not lose this bet. So, I'm familiar with what it takes to make a word get into the dictionary; it needs to go across a lot of different disciplines, of platforms, right? So, it's not-, it can't just be in a Sexplanations' YouTube video. It has to go into magazines and newspapers, scientific studies, etc. And it also needs to be utilized a lot. So, across and within a great deal.

But this Venn diagram was part of mathematics in the 1960s, right? This was designed to organize mathematical sets. And it went out to lots of other disciplines, so I believe that we could do the same thing, where we take something that's mathematical and also sexual, we're going to reclaim the word "cunt," we're going to make it an everyday-, like, "Oh gosh, we have that in common, too? Our cunt is getting so much bigger." And it can go out to all these other realms, and it can become the word to describe this overlap a.k.a. the intersection.

And you may think, "Oh, we already have a word for it - it's 'intersection'." We already have a word for Venn diagrams, too; there are lots of different things that Venn diagrams are called, I wrote them down. This is part of my argument here. [retrives list] They are also called "primary diagram, a set diagram, a logic diagram," some of them are "Euler -"

 (54:00) to (56:00)


" - Euler diagrams," so. So there! We can call this a "cunt," and this will do a lot of great things:

One, it will make so that "cunt" loses its power as a derogatory slur and - ... that's redundant. But it will lose some power as an offensive word, because I think it's a beautiful term for a vulva. Eve Enzler who wrote Vagina Monologues has a whole piece on it, which is beautiful. Maybe I'll read it to you if enough of you ask me to.

And it will also mean that we are honoring this shape and its conic beauty. And! We will get to meld - in more ways - the fields that help us to rise up as human beings. Again, mathematics and sexuality get to have a union. In a very literal way. Like, if the orange circle is sexuality and the pink circle is mathematics, our cunt is a "cunt!" [happy sounds] I love it so much. But I need your help.

Okay, let me see what you have done here now. What are the things that you say about my proposal and request for this huge favor. We have until 2022 to get it in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. [reads] "'Cunt' was voted the most offensive word in the UK." We have one word that is considered more offensive in the U.S., but it's also being reclaimed right now, and I think a word can be offensive and not offensive -

 (56:00) to (57:38)


- and not offensive at the same time. It depends on context and intent, and I would very much like it if people had a way of using this terminology that was kind and beautiful and positive. I think about it with... "queer" is a similar word that's been reclaimed.

A lot of terms right now that we use to put people down are sexually related; I did that in an episode - I can't remember which - I think it's called "Less Harmful Language," and I talk about how many of our put-downs are related to sex, and how before they were related to sex, they were related to religion. And I think that throughout time in different eras, we will choose something that we want to target, and we will use that subject to hurt each other.

And I don't want it to switch to something else and not have us calling each other things like "one-celled amoebas." ... "Amoebas?" Are amoebas one-celled? "One..." something. I don't need us to start targeting other species to make fun of each other or mathematics to make fun of each other or anything like that; I don't want us to use words to hurt each other. And I think that it would be nice for us to move away from sex terms like "dick" and "motherfucker" and all those things to hur-
