 UNBELIEVABLY this article panders to the idea that men can have babies, literally!

but here it is, the fax:

> The average person’s menstrual cycle is between 28 and 32 days. Some people have shorter cycles, while others have much longer ones.

> The first day of a person’s period is the first day of their menstrual cycle. Their period typically lasts 3 to 7 days.

> According to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), a person whose menstrual cycle is between 26 days and 32 days long will be most fertile between days 8 and 19 of their cycle.

so, yes, i am wrong, fertility is about 11 days out of 28-32, so, about 1/3 of the time a woman is fertile, that's still a pretty wide margin for a woman wanting to have sex without being fertilized
