Questioni'm 17 years old and i'm a girl and i'm in grade 12. since about a month ago, i've been letting boys at my school borrow my used panties for money. i know that sounds kind of weird, but i started doing it after a boy told me that he would pay just to borrow my used panties. so, since then, i've been lettings boys at my school borrow my used panties for a day for a dollar. i've actually made a lot of money from it! of course, i'd never have sex for money but i'm okay with perverted boys borrowing my used panties because, well... all i'm doing is letting them borrow my used panties. my boyfriend's okay with it and all of my friends have told me that it's a good idea and some of them have been letting boys borrow their used panties, too. however, i told my mom about it and she wants me to stop! she told me that she has no problem with it on a moral level and she understands that it's nothing like prostitution but she told me that she wants me to stop because she thinks that cum stains can't be fully washed out of panties. in case you don't know what i mean, i'll tell you. i'm pretty sure that all the boys that borrow my used panties turn them inside out and sniff them (i know because my boyfriend told me that boys would do that). and i'm pretty sure that there's some boys who ejaculate their cum in my used panties and masturbate with them. after i get my used panties back the next day, i always wash them thorougly but my mom thinks that cum stains can't be completely washed out. so, she thinks that i can get pregnant by wearing the used panties that i let boys borrow. my mom now told me that i'm not allowed to wear those used panties (even after washing them) and that i'm not allowed to let boys borrow my used panties anymore! is my mom right or wrong? i'm pretty sure that she doesn't know what she's talking about because i've washed a couple of cum-stained used panties that i let boys borrow and i'm pretty sure that i got all the cum out of them. unfortunately, i also got some cum on my hands a couple of times, which is gross! lol! anyways, can cum be completely washed out of panties? please tell me that it can because my mom won't let me wear some of my panties or let boys borrow them for money until i can prove to her that it can!
AnswerDear Chelsea,
Ordinarily, this is not a question that I would answer, since it doesn't concern infertility or woman's health. However, in consideration of your age, I thought you deserved an answer. One of the problems with talking with teens in adults usually don't want to talk to them.
I am glad that you had this discussion with your mom. You have a good family situation and should cherish it. Despite what my answer is going to be, I think you should do what your mom wants because she asked you to. Not because she is right or wrong. If you love and respect your mom, you need to do what she asks, just as you would want her to respect your wishes as well.
What you are going is quite entrepreneurial, although it is on the edge of morality. I would never have thought such a thing would occur, but these are crazy times. In terms of the answer to your question, unless the semen ("cum") is fresh, then it is highly unlikely that you could become pregnant from wearing the washed panties. Washing them certainly takes off the semen and the hot water sterilizes the cloth. However, it is kind of gross to think that you would wear underwear that some guy used to masturbate on, washed or not. What I would suggest is the following if you want to continue this business, charge the boys $20, and let them keep the panties. You use the $20 to buy new panties to use. That way, you never need to wash them or handle them again. I don't know how much panties cost, but it you buy more expensive ones, then charge what they cost plus a profit margin. That is how businesses are run.
The bottom line, answer however, is follow your mom's request. There is no morality issue here that I can see (one of my degrees is in Philosophy), but there is a sense of "correctness" or "cleanliness" issue here, that makes the arrangement kind of dirty (pun intended). By the way, I know the street lingo is "cum" which is a pornographic work, but for your future information, the medical term is "semen." It sounds a lot better.
