Life is a fatal sexually transmitted disease. But despair not. Modern medicine can ease your life journey from womb to tomb or (if you are Dutch) from youth to euthanasia.
THE FIRST AGE: CONCEPTION
Making babies does not come naturally for most of us. Luckily, modern medical imaging has uncovered the mysteries of sex. MRI scans of copulating couples show the man’s penis shaped like a boomerang during coitus (fig 1).1 No wonder men don’t know if they are coming or going. To avoid any misconceptions, modern radiologists have developed a new X-rated, x ray plan, "Sex and the CT", to give you a new angle on conception.
