  • Excellent proof of the old adage that correlation does not imply causation, a truth that a huge number of people have problems with.

    Your aunt (a) bought a car, (b) used some tampons she found in it, and (c) became pregnant. The last event is completely unrelated to the first two.

    Even in the warm, moist, relatively hospitable environment of a woman's reproductive tract, sperm only survive for a week at the absolute most. Therefore, her getting pregnant from a tampon is as implausible as her getting pregnant from sitting on her new car's driver's seat.

    • But what else could it be is the question? We are doubtful that sperm could survive long in there as well but that is the only possibility we can think of that correlates and like I said earlier she is single and virgin.

      • Seriously? 🙄

        You and your family truly believe that there's no chance whatsoever that the woman might have had sex once in the last few months? Is she chaperoned constantly by eunuch bodyguards every time she's allowed out of her locked bedroom with bars on the window? Does she have a chip implanted in her head which means she's incapable of lying?

        She may well not have a boyfriend, partner or spouse (that you know of), but are you and your family really so dim that you believe babies only happen to women in settled relationships? And how the hell can you know if she's a virgin? It's often impossible for experienced gynaecologists to say one way or another, since the hymen for some women can be torn by activities other than sex (including the use of tampons, as it happens), and some women have a hymen that's so minimal that it isn't damaged by sex.
