It doesn't matter whether you are a banker, a prison's officer or a member of the church choir. Biology is a bitch, and if that egg is crawling down the fallopian tube, the body insanely demands that it ought to be twangad and fertilised. It is an overwhelming feeling, even for adult women. And men, like dogs and bulls, are wired to sniff it.
