Taiwanese men worried about sperm “running out”
I think it was grade 6 in primary school when I had my first sexual education class (or “sex-ed” as they called it). I don’t remember much of it, with only vague recollections of required parental consent, condoms and bananas.
Following on into highschool, this education continued and whilst it was not entirely restricted to what I learnt in school, by the time I finished I had what I’d like to think was a pretty solid understanding of how my body worked.
Here in Taiwan though, it’s a bit of a different story.
Citing one particular couple, a Dr. Jien (簡) from Khaosiung’s Veteran’s General Hospital (in Taiwan’s south) recently shared that they were having problems in the bedroom.
30 years old and married, the husband, much to his wife’s frustration, was refusing to have sex because he believes that men “only produce a bottle or so worth of sperm in their lifetime”.
The problem is that the husband doesn’t want to “waste” any of his sperm until he’s ready to have kids, literally leaving his wife hanging on edge.
So resolute in his belief that he only had a bottle of sperm that even after his wife “dragged” him off to a urologist, he refuses to believe his body is capable of producing more than his predetermined bottle-sized quota.
The size of the bottle was not clarified.
In what appears to be a public service announcement cum news story (no pun intended), Dr. Jien goes on to state that this is apparently a common misperception amongst Taiwanese males ages 25 to 30.
They’re precious to their sperm, not dare to masturbate and very careful about the sex times after they got married.
They say one drop of sperm is ten drops of blood also harms your health and energy brings out affecting to have a baby.
So they work hard waiting for their economy is stable then they’re more relaxed to have a healthy baby.
Is this the secret behind Taiwan’s plummeting birth rate, which is already one of the lowest in the world?
Maybe we could send some Taiwanese men over to China to better educate them and solve their population woes. What better way to warm and tighten those cross-strait relations.
Get on it Mr. Ma.

Where do these people come up with such harebrained ideas?
I wonder what his wife looks like, it could very well be a case of my wife is too fugly and the hot nurse that works on the third floor is a better use of my energies.
Lets see if there is future news of this guy in court for adultery and another example of how marriage laws are whacked out will show up in apple daily.

Back in my day there was no such thing as sex education. That was either left up to the parents, or in my case, and countless others, we learnt all about it ourselves, with all its trials and tribulations that go with learning something, sporting wood at inopportune and inappropriate times and being embarrassed greatly. And it was great.
As I have written to a few blogs and newspaper articles, leave the bloody kids alone, let them learn about life in their own way. And maybe, just maybe, there won’t be any more 9yo pregnant girls.
The kids will be too busy out there just playing at being kids and having fun and not worrying that they are missing out on something, and some little bloke’s erect penis might not find its way inside a little girl’s vagina.
jesus fucking wept!!!!!! Fair fucking dinkum!!!!!!! Leave the kids be.

To be fair, he probably doesn’t know what your wife looks like – unless you’ve sent him pictures or something.
