True story:

Back when I was still in high school (God it's weird saying that!) I would listen to NPR while on my way to school. And I remember one morning, Sandra Tsing Loh--who has a segment called "The Loh Down on Science"--had a story about how scientists did a test and found that men who slept around a lot, when they ejaculated they produced less sperm than their counterparts who did not sleep around with a lot of women. When they ejaculated, a lot of sperm came out at once.
I found this interesting and reported it to my friends because I knew this would make a good discussion. And while I was explaining this, I unknowingly was making my hands gesture a waving motion that occurred each time I said "sperm"; as though my hands were indicating thrusting.
Anyway we got a huge laugh out of it and then my friend Maya (who is a junior) was explaining to us about a show on a Discovery channel about how biology worked; about how animals are attracted to one another by smells, different hormones, and what not.
And apparently when a woman is ovulating she gives off hormones that intensify all her smells and make her more appealing to her male mate. Scientists found this when they went to a strip club and the lap dancers that were tipped more were ovulating, thus making themselves more attractive to their customers.
While Maya was explaining all of this, she had unknowingly put her hands close to her breasts and turned her hands palms up that they looked like they were cupped. Poor Maya! We all started laughing and she nervously laughed because she didn't know what we were laughing about!
