Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if every neighborhood block had a big trough that men would go to ejaculate in. This trough would somehow be maintained in a way that could support hundreds of liters of semen. Women from the neighborhood would then bath themselves one at a time inside the trough during ovulation, and the pregnancy that would occur would result in an unknown father.

The babies that would result from these bathings would be known as Children of the Trough, and would receive the love and care of the entire neighborhood. The children would be raid not according to birth, for all would be equal, and no woman would have to raise a child by herself, for it belonged to the neighborhood.
