      Too much sex, too little baby
      In a moment of passion, Omer and Bar decide to have a baby. Well, Bar proposed it, but Omer has to undergo pregnancy, since Bar is medically unfit. While early tasks like selecting a donor from the sperm bank seem exciting, the task of actually getting pregnant is not, especially as performed by an all-male team of doctors. Things come to head when, after several unsuccessful attempts, the sperm bank suggests IVF. (There is no mention of the possibility of using one women's eggs to impregnate the other, thereby sharing duties.) Omer feels more like an object, though a straight friend empathizes that having sex just to have a baby does feel like a chore and not a pleasure. Things get pricklier when Bar suggests they use Omer's ex Yoni as a live donor.

      There is sex between receipt of the sperm sample and the insemination, and the contrast with the medical procedure may have actually put Omer more off the mood. It seems too "straight" to want to equate having sex with getting pregnant.

      Beyond that, the plot point about how they needed the help of Yoni, which led to the proposal, seems to be a bit forced.
