SummaryI will present a critique of the conception of male sperm in contemporary popular science media; in particular my critique will address the idea that porn is somehow biologically beneficial for human sexuality. On one level, my motive in doing this is to demystify the systematic but almost impossibly subtle use of language that both exemplifies and justifies the pervasive social condition that typifies female sexuality in relation to (in opposition to) the notions of competition and domination. Scientific popular discourse constructs itself in such a way that members sharing its epistemic standpoint are apt to argue that the biological concept of competition, for instance, has little or nothing to do with the sense of competition in some other, more public context.
