I know I have read a short story like this. Some colony got hit by a plague which killed all of the men. The women figured out a way to fertilize each other. A long time later, a "rescue team" shows up, consisting of some men. They knew that there were only women left, and expected to be jumped all over by the women. The showed up making snide remarks about how the women must be really lonley, etc. But the women had no idea what they were talking about. Unfortunately, I don't remenber who wrote it or what the title was, but it might have been in one of the Dangerous Visions books. Mark F.
