Dear Dr. Love,

During my last off world mission, I was involved in a some kind of cultural celebration ceremony. Now, I know better than to get involved in something like that with a native woman so that I don't wind up accidentally married, but this time we were visiting an all male settlement, so I wasn't too worried at first. There was a lot of drinking involved, and I don't actually remember most of the night, but I woke up naked, with a lot of symbols painted on my skin, and with a strange soreness in my ass.

I did some research on the symbols when we got back to Atlantis and discovered that they were fertility prayers to make the wearer pregnant. Now, my question is two fold. First, how likely was it that these people just didn't realize I was male (I was completely naked in the morning and they had painted on my penis)? Second, do fertility prayers actually work on Earth-born human men?

Thank you,
Somewhat Concerned
