Not to me. I equate it with meat rather than with sex. But that's probably because I know the German word for "meat" is the cognate "Fleisch".

quote:Q. If cosmetic companies don't use animals in their research, how can they test their products? I found an innovative way that researchers are now able to test their eye makeup. They no longer use rabbits in their research to test whether makeup is irritating (this is called the Draize test). They are now able to effectively test the cosmetics on human tissue derived from the foreskin of newborns. This means they can use the tissue that is removed when male infants are circumsized. This skin tissue can reproduce quickly and flattens out so that it has many of the same properties as corneal tissue. It's being used by Avon, Colgate-Palmolive and Procter & Gamble.
They're great for eyelid grafts too!
