When will #MeToo blow the whistle on IVF clinic Pornography?
Mercator Net ^ | Oct ‘19 | Michael Cook

Golly gosh, you learn something new every day about the IVF industry. And you thought it was just about gurgling, picture-perfect infants.

IVF porn is one of those sordid things that everyone knows about but no one has the stomach to talk about. Last year’s “Private Life”, a highly-praised Netflix film about a middle-aged couple going through IVF, is typical. Equipped with a cup, the exasperated husband enters a cubicle where a wall-mounted screen is playing hard-core porn. It’s part of the fertility furniture.

Back in 2010, a British health think tank, 2020Health published a brief report, Who Said Pornography was Acceptable in the Workplace? It found that one-third of government-run IVF clinics supplied pornography to male clients. The report’s author, Julia Manning, complained that this material fostered an “adultery of the mind”. She wrote:

Pornography strips women of full human status and reduces them to sex objects. It gives permission to its consumers to treat women as they are treated in porn. And the reality of porn today is that it increasingly uses younger girls and is more violent and extreme…

No reference has been made to the humiliation for the staff, the implied sanctioning of pornography in the workplace, the fostering of unhealthy attitudes towards the opposite sex, the encouragement of ‘adultery of the mind’, and the impact of the addictive nature of porn…

Furthermore, it is demeaning for the employees of the clinics:

“Seventy-seven per cent of the NHS workforce is female and they should never have to work in an environment that endorses pornography.

Unsurprisingly, Dr Alan Thornhill, a well-known IVF specialist, ridiculed Ms Manning’s “disturbing” ignorance and dismissed her concerns about the effects on employees. Pornography, along with other embarrassing subjects, “comes with the territory”, he sneered in BioNews…

It might help if they told us what the TLA IVF stands for.

I was married to gal and we went through IVF. When it was time for the sample, she would take care of me in the men’s room...

Of course, she was an easy 9 on the crazy-hot matrix, so while this was always exciting, the drawback was dealing with her extreme mental issues.

When it didn’t work, she accused me of all sorts of vile things.

I dodged a big bullet, but got some pretty good stories from that 9 years.

A wink and a smile, with an audible “wannaf##k?” And that’s her talkin’.

In an episode of King of the Hill, Hank Hill had to produce a, uh, specimen, while his wife Peggy, and a nurse waited, and waited, outside the door. Finally the nurse called out to him:
"Mr. Hill, do you want a magazine?" Hand called back through the door:
"Do you have Popular Mechanics?"

Just have a buxom blonde go in with you and give you a hand.

And get a well hung young man to inseminate your wife.

Well how did he think this works? Pretty much anybody in the sperm collection/ analysis business provides porn. It’s pretty much the best way to get samples.

treat men like they do bulls. Put an electronic prod up their rear and give them a jolt. No need to commit a sin to get a specimen.

A functional idiot is in the Oval Office with access to the nuclear codes and the second (and third) person in succession are even worse.

Porn in sperm banks? Not a real problem

So you are not making the connection that it’s precisely “porn at sperm banks” - multiple genders bearing children outside the marriage bed, not to mention decapitated and disemboweled unborn babies at abortion clinics signaling the cultural and civilizational decline confronting us by the roots…

Yes, I’m not the least bother be visual stimulation for the purposes of furthering masturbation. I find such concerns, in light of other concern, laughable.

You don’t realize all it takes to create pornography, the horrifying realities behind the camera…and the damage it’s done in rewiring men’s brains in front of the screen…

Mass castration. And there’s something dehumanizing about sperm banks in particular.

That would be sodomy. Still a sin.
