Brave new world - Do you yourself home semen detection kits for suspicious spouses

“Honey - were you eating Cream of Wheat in the downstairs bedroom again?”

“Ummm… why… yes I was darling. I’ll try not be so messy next time.”

THE CHEATER TRAP

Makers of the CheckMate 5 Minute Infidelity Test Kit say they sell 1,000 kits a week in New York. As many as 1,000 New Yorkers a week are checking whether their partners are cheats by using a take-home kit to test suspicious stains on clothes and bed linens.

The $50 test — called the CheckMate 5 Minute Infidelity Test Kit — has been flying off the shelves of city stores over the past year.

Two stores visited by The Post last week — the International Detective Store on Christopher Street and the Spy Store on East 34th Street — were sold out and awaiting new stock. “A lot of men are coming in here to buy it — straight men, gay men, all kinds. And women, too,” said International Detective Store Vice President Bob Leonard.

Users drop a chemical contained in the kit onto the suspicious spot and blot it with a small paper strip. If semen is detected, the strip turns purple within seconds. The kit includes instructions that tell the doubting partner not to have sex with their wife or girlfriend for a week before doing the test so they can be sure it’s another man’s semen.

Why wouldn’t the people buy a UV light, like that which they use on CSI? Wouldn’t that be more helpful for detecting semen?

Lots of things can cause sexual “juices” that glow under a UV light (assuming they do, as some of the CSI TV stuff is a teensy bit off). It might be that your SO got herself all worked up into a moist lather thinking about your urgent manhood nestled snugly in her warm basket of love. J’accusing her for that would be unkind.

Cat urine glows under UV light, too. We had an old cat who stopped using her litter box for the last five years of her life (she lived to be 20). After she died, we went through the house with a UV light to find all traces left behind, so the new cats we planned to get wouldn’t get any ideas about where it was acceptable to “do their business”.
