Sperm comes from ejaculate. Ejaculation is a bodily function. Bodily function is likely not going to be proper in a professional environment.

Specifically, sex makes many people uncomfortable. Sure, it's natural function but it's not a topic many people are comfortable talking about openly. Not me but you can understand how this would be a sensitive enough topic for enough people that they'd leave it out, no?
