Ponticus, you only fuck your fist.
That complaisant left hand is your sole mistress.

No big deal, you say?
Believe me pal, it’s a major crime—
More than you can imagine.

Horatius fucked just once, and sired three sons;
Mars did the same, and Ilia bore twins.
If either guy had jerked off in his hand,
Down the drain with natural increase!

Mother Nature is displeased. She chides you:
“The sticky stuff that’s dripping from your fingers
Is a human being, Ponticus.”

Martial, epigram IX.41

No, most of the tradlarpers on /lit/ will happily argue that Martial was actually a mudhut snownigger because he wasn't a post-lutheran neo-orthodox episcopalian sedevacantist.

Pontice, quod numquam futuis, sed paelice laeva
uteris et Veneri servit amica manus,
hoc nihil esse putas? scelus est, mihi crede, sed ingens,
quantum vix animo concipis ipse tuo.
nempe semel futuit, generaret Horatius ut tres; Mars semel, ut geminos Ilia casta daret.
omnia perdiderat si masturbatus uterque
mandasset manibus gaudia foeda suis.
ipsam crede tibi naturam dicere rerum:
'Istud quod digitis, Pontice, perdis, homo est.

nature mate, I dont care where the sticky stuff ends up. My job is to simply get it out there. If its in a fist, a cleenex or a womans holes doesn’t really seem to be my departments concerns. If you do, then be a dear and provide the right orifices.

Now, back to that anime and pornography

A sperm and egg cell each have 23 chromosomes. A healthy human being has 46, which form when the sperm fertilises the egg. A fertilised egg, zygote and foetus are demonstrably, provably human beings. A sperm cell however is just a sperm cell with the potential to fertilise an egg and create a human being.

THIS IS WHY NOONE UNDERSTANDS POESY, NOR WRITES IT, ANYMORE: LACK OF POETICAL MIND.

DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT FIGURATION IS, OR METAPHOR? IT IS A POEM, NOT A MEDICAL, NOR BIOLOGICAL, ESSAY.
