Natural conception is one of three choices and the matching sites do kick men out for insisting on this one. Others use turkey basters.

I didn't know what "turkey baster" meant, but Urban Dictionary has a definition:

"Turkey baster" is a kitchen tool used to transfer small amounts of liquid. https://www.amazon.com/Norpro-5900-Nylon-Baster/dp/B000HEIUB...

Obviously it can have other non-kitchen uses (transferring semen).

So they literally use a kitchen tool? I'm not a native speaker, so I assumed the quotes meant that it's used figuratively.
