no, it is the result of one of the choice of a few people to formalize what they think causation is

>>7775511
It means that one variable determines another. Causation can imply implication in a hamiltonian sense. However, implication does not imply causation.

false suck does not make pregnant

>>7775511
Who's this semen demon?

>>7775821
Sex doesn't cause pregnancy though. To say that it does is very inaccurate.
