4 Classic Tips To Conceiving A Baby Boy

While there is no scientific evidence to prove that sexual position can influence the sex of your baby, this legend has been around for generations.
They might not be surefire but it can’t hurt to try. The best outcome of course, is a healthy baby regardless of sex. However, if you want some tips on how to conceive a male child, please keep reading.
1) Sexual Positions
Some believe deep penetration is important to give the boy sperm a head start. With less difference to travel, the boy sperm would be able to outswim the girl sperm, and find the egg. Hence it has been recommended to have sex in sexual positions that involve deep penetration if you’re hoping for a male child. Here pis a list of some of such positions;
  • Doggy Style

Have your husband enter you from behind. You could also adjust this position so that you are kneeling or leaning over a raised surface, if you prefer.

  • Standing Up
For this position, your partner may be able to lift you up, or if you prefer, lean against a wall. Either way, you will probably need something to lean or hold onto, you don’t want to fall and break your back.
  • Straddling
Ask your partner to lie or sit up on the bed, sofa, or wherever you choose to do the deed. You should straddle him and lower yourself onto him. This position allows for deep penetration, but with the added benefit of you being in control. If your husband has a large penis, or you feel discomfort when trying the other positions mentioned above, you may prefer to be on top as this will allow you to control the depth of penetration.
2) Menstrual Cycle Timing
Because male sperm is the faster of the two, doctors have suggested having intercourse as close to ovulation as possible. If you have sex several days before ovulation, then the less resilient male sperm may die off, leaving more female sperm to fertilize the egg. So the closer to ovulation, the more likely the chances.
3) Men’s Underwear
As the belief goes, if your husband wears boxer shorts, this is said to be better for male sperm, as the scrotum gets more air so it’s not warm, restricting the production of sperm. Tighter underwear (like jocks) are said to be better suited to the survival of female sperm… but some research have shown that wearing too tight underwear can reduce the production of all sperm.
4) Female Orgasms
There is a popular argument that the female orgasm plays an important role in the conception of a boy. Some believe that during a female orgasm, an alkaline secretion is released into the vagina, which gives boy sperm an increased chance of survival. It is said that to increase your chances of having a boy, you should orgasm before your husband during sex.
While the above tip may not be backed up by science, it’s worth explaining to your partner, just in case.
