Panel 1:
A woman with brown hair and glasses faces a shirtless man with flame-like red hair, both shown from the shoulders up against a dark blue background.
Woman: "I'm not sure we should have sex tonight. Men find women most attractive when they're most fertile, and I don't want to risk pregnancy. So I guess the question is this: do you find me at all attractive?"
Man (looking strained and uncomfortable): "I don... well I'd... but... I -"
Caption (below panel): Endocrinologists can get out of sex any time.
Votey:
A close-up sketch of the red-haired man's worried face.
Man: "You look great, but way worse than usual?"

A two-panel SMBC comic. In the main panel, a woman with brown hair and glasses faces a shirtless red-haired man against a dark blue background. She says: 'I'm not sure we should have sex tonight. Men find women most attractive when they're most fertile, and I don't want to risk pregnancy. So I guess the question is this: do you find me at all attractive?' The man, looking trapped and anxious, stammers: 'I don... well I'd... but... I -'. The caption reads: 'Endocrinologists can get out of sex any time.' The joke: she has set a trap where finding her attractive implies she's fertile (risk of pregnancy, no sex), so he has no safe answer. In the votey, a close-up of the man's worried face shows him attempting the only escape: 'You look great, but way worse than usual?'
