wwh notes: Now DNA testing has shown that the breeding is not "panmictic" meaning random.


For those of y'all that were as confused as I as to whether this meant the breeding was random or wasn't random, from M-W on line: Panmixia -- random mating within a breeding population

As for using it in conversation I might suggest: "With the prevalence of AIDS and other STDs, I believe the practice of panmixia is seriously contraindicated." If the context is less than professional the line might be more like: "Whoa, man! Ain' never gone catch me doin' no panmixia. Not with all the stuff you can catch these days."
