PLEASE HELP a 62- year-old grandmother wko is very ignorant, or just plain dumb, where sex is concern- ed. I would appreciate it so much if you would answer two questions that I am too ashamed to discuss with anyone. First, in order for a female to become pregnant, do both partners or lovers have to have orgasms? If so, how could a rape victim become pregnant? She certainly couldn't have an orgasm with forced sex. Second, what do two fem:.ies do when they make love? I am re’er- ring to lesbians. Besides hugging and kissing and loving one another, what other means of sex takes place? A. [Ecan’t tell you how nice it is to hear from someone who knows what she doesn't know and says so.

[ am all for the grandparents. Now it happens that I like men, and even I have accus- ed myself of leaning toward them in weighing the good points of the two sexes, But this I have to say — women generally go for the an- swers without trying to cover up perfectly natural ignorance. If everyone did this, so much time would be saved, not to men- tion the boredom of listening to people trying to cover their ig- norance with dead talk. In order for a female to become pregnant, a sperm cell produced in the testicle of a male has to come in contact with a live egg cell of the female in the uterus or a fallopian tube (the latter event being an un- fortunate accident).

You have heard of artificial in- semination. This is impregnating a woman (Or a cow Or a mare or whatever) by placing the ap- propriate kind of sperm in place mechanically, without the presence of the man, bull or stallion.

These activities, between men and women or women and women, were not invented by sex therapists or Playboy miagazine. They are as old as the human race. a day courses on marketing, accounting, income tax, payroll and franchis- ing.
