                     Wasted Conception Resources


   In the July 6, 1999, issue of Time International we are informed
   that the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 100 million
   acts of human sexual intercourse occur each day but that only
   910,000 of them result in conception. The rest are simply wasted.
   Thus more than 99 million acts of intercourse are squandered and
   have no practical results except momentary pleasure for the
   participants.
                      _.--.      If one takes into account the volume
                  .-"`_.--.\   .-.___________    of the lost sperm,
                ."_-"`     \\ (  0;------/\"'`   assuming at least

       =`---====""~`\          _/     /      \   may calculate that
                     `-------"`      /        \  about:
        jgs                         /          \ 5 x 10E-3 x 99 x 10E6
                                   (            ) or 500 cubic meters
                                    '._      _.' of fertile fluid are
                                       '----'    wasted per day.
   This brings the number to 15,000 cubic meters per month!

   Assuming that the need for irrigation of an acre or agricultural
   land in arid areas is about 40 cubic meters per acre per month, we
   find that the available volume of sperm would be sufficient to
   irrigate, as wall as fertilize, about 350 acres of land.

   In addition, the squandered acts of intercourse require energy that
   may be calculated to be equivalent to about 300 kcal per act of
   intercourse. Thus the redundant energy--if properly harnessed--
   would be sufficient to operate a power station and to supply
   1500 mW/day, enough for a city the size of New York.

   These energy calculations can be made more accessible to the
   lay person. Let us say that the starter motor in your car has a
   power requirement of 500W. Thus the energy wasted on nonproductive
   acts of intercourse would be sufficient to start three million
   cars. If you cannot start your car on a cold morning in winter,
   think of your neighbors having wasted all that energy the night
   before, enjoying themselves with their partners.
