It’s true? Can the sexual position determine the sex of the baby?
The myths, lies, old wives’ tales, and hoaxes that float trying to link sexual positions to the specific gender of the baby have been around for years, probably since they’ve been having babies! I’m sure you’ve probably read a few by now – have you received any responses that sounded even partially plausible?
Some of my research on how to obtain the specific gender of the baby through intercourse positions has resulted in major scientific institutions publicly declaring that they have no research to prove one way or another.
However, I think I can show you some physiological logic that may make some practical sense, and maybe offer you some practical solutions for choosing the gender of your baby through specific sexual positions.
Male sperm (the ones with a “Y” chromosome) have been scientifically proven to be fast swimmers, speed champions, but with a short life span of approximately 24 hours. Female sperm (those with an “X”) are long-distance athletes. They do not move as fast as males, but they can live much longer, usually up to 72 hours in a female’s body.
If you want a boy, all you have to do is make sure that a sperm with a “Y” chromosome fertilizes the waiting egg, that’s it! On the other hand, if the egg is fertilized by a sperm that carries an “X” chromosome, then you are betting on a beautiful girl! Most experts say that any sperm that fertilizes the egg is a random event, no one has any control over the event. But, given the differences in sperm, is this really true? Is it really random?
Now that we know these basic characteristics, logic can reveal which sexual positions can take advantage of the strengths of either sperm.
How to make a baby
If you want to have a baby boy, you need to make it as easy as possible for the sperm on the “Y” chromosome to win the race to the egg. Very quickly, but with a short life, that male sperm must be deposited as close to the ovum as possible. In this case, the good missionary position is the best, with maximum penetration and the woman on her back to leave a path as clear as possible. For best results as the man ejaculates, the woman should move her legs as close to her breasts as possible.
Also, some say that time is as important as sexual position. The closer intercourse is to ovulation, the more likely you are to have a boy. Have frequent sex about a day before ovulation. To make sure the sperm count is as high as possible, ask the man to wear boxers – heat destroys sperm and you need enough sperm for successful implantation.
How to make a girl
Given what we know about man vs. female sperm, you would want none, or very few, male sperm to reach the egg. Therefore, to have the best chance for a girl, she must deposit the sperm further away from the egg, so that the male sperm “die” early, allowing the slower but longer lasting female sperm to reach the egg. Shallow penetration should be used here, usually from the rear (doggy style).
Again, the problem of time is also observed. Since female sperm is a slow swimmer, it is in your best interest to deliver sperm no earlier than 4 days before ovulation. And you ovulate about 14 days into your cycle. This method uses time again, taking advantage of the slower but longer-lived sperm to produce a girl. The idea is to have the sperm ready and in the fallopian tube when the egg is released. Don’t forget, no sex for a week afterwards! You could throw some fast swimmers into the mix and get a kid!
No matter what you’ve heard if sexual position can determine the sex of the baby, there seems to be some truth to the myths. No guarantees, of course. But logic and reasoning would tell us that it might be possible.
It doesn’t matter if you end up with a boy or a girl, be thankful that they were born healthy and happy into a loving family!
