sup /sci/. I have a legitimate question here.
How come cum stains are some of the worst stains clothes can possibly get.
Being the tard I am, and getting a drop on my new jacket, I started to wash it right away, but even that does not seem to fully purge it. The only other daily liquids off the top of my head that stain clothing badly is wine, bleach, and coffee; all bases. It got me thinking... Is cum a base? could a person, in theory, suffer strange effects from drinking too much cum... I digress...
The point is, even coffe and wine can eventually get washed out, but cum will only fade, always there to leave a fadded spot on clothing.
Unless I'm being completely retarded, and there is an easily proven way to get rid of cum stains, do any of you know why cum has such interesting properties for being a natural biological substance.

This is interesting. I don't have an answer, but I'll bump your thread in case someone else does

>wine, bleach, and coffee; all bases. It got me thinking... Is cum a base?

your logic is a bit off, the primary action of bleach is as an oxidant, it degrades dyes thereby removing their coloration (so bleach is the 'unstainer'). maybe both wine and coffee are bases - idk - but they stain primarily b/c they contain colored compounds which act as dyes, and not primarily due to their pH.

woops... yeah, I guess I meant bleach on colored clothing can ruin it.

Have you try peroxide? It work well for getting rid of dry blood stains so it might work for other bodily fluids.

It's made of mainly complex sugars. Think of it like fuel for the ride.
You know what breaks down sugar really well? Saliva.

IMHO it's due to the shape of the sperm cell. It's like sticking 200 pins into grass and trying to remove them by rubbing back and forth. The lateral motion is not going to shift then. They need to be pulled out. Also it's white and sticky

Ever notice how cum gels when it cools? Thats because it contains proteins: you're not looking at a stain, you're looking at entangled proteins.

Given that, I dont really know an easy way to fix the problem. If you had access to a lab Id tell you to go grab some Protinase-K, but thats not something that normal people have access to.

I think its just got to do with the material you cum on to be honest. Ive never had that problem either and my sperm count is fine.

I actually hope I am. It will save me a vasectomy. Doubt I'm that lucky though.
