This is not so far-fetched. A couple of years ago I toured a Champion Boar Hog breeding facility. Since I grew up in cattle country, where artificial insemination is common, I wasn't surprised to learn that the same method was used for extracting the premium semen of award-winning boars. But get this -- It seems boars are much more sensitive creatures than are bulls, who don't seem to mind having their semen extracted by a cold, impersonal machine. Boars become upset and agitated when this method is used, and their semen, as a result, is diluted. So the hog-breeders, being the sensitive lot they are, actually hire women to harvest the semen crop "by hand." I am not kidding. I saw it, as did several other witnesses with me on the tour. The women are well-paid, and their jobs are considered "skilled."
Makes you wonder what they say when their husbands nudge them at night -- "Sorry honey, I already gave at the office?"
