That cloudy white, sticky substance that ejaculates forth from a man’s submarine is a bit of a mystery and a miracle. That little bit of opaque goo holds the key to civilization in its weird consistency. So, what is semen? What’s it made of and why? Let’s go deep in a man’s most private area and explore the wonders of semen.

What is semen?

Semen is the opaque white fluid that is released from the urethra and springs out of the penis during ejaculation. It is made up of mobile sperm cells (medical name: spermatozoa) and nutrient-rich seminal fluid. The seminal fluid is what transports the sperm to the egg (or the tube sock).

What’s the difference between semen and sperm?

Sperm is in semen, and arguably, the most important part of the complex semen recipe. Think of it like this, a man is making chocolate chip cookies. Sperm is the chocolate chips and semen is the whole batter. They’re better together.

Where is semen made and what does it contain?

Sperm is made in the testes and gets stored in the epididymis until needed. When a man is ready to ejaculate, the sperm is carried through a passageway called the vas deferens to the urethra to be expelled. While it goes on this voyage, it goes through three different glands, the accessory sex glands, which release mucous secretions. They are known as the Cowper’s gland, the prostate gland, and the seminal vesicles. Cowper’s supplies the pre-ejaculatory fluid, the prostate provides a host of minerals, amino acids, and enzymes, and the seminal vesicles supply the majority of the semen cocktail with fructose for sperm energy and prostaglandins that trigger the vaginal muscles to contract, thus helping escort the sperm to the ova.

How much semen can a man produce?

The average man can turn out between two to six milliliters of semen each time he ejaculates. To go back to the cookie batter analogy, that’s like the amount of vanilla that’d go into the batter, maybe a bit less. But, just to be clear, don’t actually put it in cookie batter; the cookies will not taste good with the special sauce.

What does semen taste like?

As it contains over 65 percent sugar, it is alleged to taste sweet. However, diet greatly impacts the taste of semen and can be like going to a 31 Flavors, just without the Rocky Road.

What color should semen be?

Ejaculate is usually clear, white, grayish or a form of all of those with a cloudy look to it. It can, however, be many different colors. Here’s a quick run-down on some of the tints semen can take and what they may mean.

– Yellow/Green – It could be urine in the semen, which is nothing to be concerned about unless it’s a persistent issue. Diet can also influence sperm color (think curry or green juice). Jaundice can also cause a yellow tinge and suggests a liver issue which requires immediate medical help.

– Red/Pink/Orange/Brown – All are a sign of blood in the urine. The more red or pink, the fresher the blood. If it’s more of the orangish brown variety, it’s old blood. Both can be classified as hematospermia, which is associated with STIs, prostate issues, high blood pressure, too rough or vigorous sex, excessive self-pleasure that causes tears in the skin, and cancer.

– Black – This is again, hematospermia, but the blood is extreme old. It is related to two serious issues which men should seek help for, spinal cord injuries and heavy metal exposure (lead, nickel, etc.).

Keeping the semen vessel healthy and strong

Keeping the penis clean and well cared for is just one of the ways a man can be sure his semen can exit the premises expertly and with a laser-focus. Keeping the penis clean with regular washing and rinsing is a critical part of ensuring a precise aim and avoiding “backups.” In addition to cleaning, many men have added a specially formulated penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) to their grooming ritual. Using a penis health crème delivers the important vitamins and amino acids which prevent bacteria from infiltrating the member while strengthening the skin and protecting against environmental free radicals and nerve damage that can make erections and ejaculation harder. A generous massage with a nutrient crème like this is one of the best ways to promote penis health on a daily basis.

The term “infertility” is thrown around a lot, but it pays to remember that it can easily take up to a year for a normal couple to get pregnant. As such, infertility is typically said to be the inability to conceive a child after 12 months of unprotected intercourse. The statistics say that about 85% of couples will successfully conceive within this amount of time. The statistics also say that about 15% of couples trying to conceive are deal with some form of infertility, with 40-50% of those cases being due to male infertility. So if you’ve been diagnosed with some form of male infertility, do not despair, you are far from alone and many options are available to you. The standard forms of male infertility are due to one, or several of the issues of low sperm count, low sperm motility, and poor sperm morphology. In a smaller portion of cases, a physical obstruction or blockage can prohibit normal sperm delivery.

It is important to understand what each of the sperm related terms means.

Sperm Motility

Sperm motility is the ability of the sperm to move forward towards an egg. This is the sperm’s “forward progress.”

Sperm Count

Sperm count measures the concentration of sperm in a man’s ejaculate. Over 15 million sperm per milliliter is considered normal, yet the average today is between 20-40 million. These numbers are just a guideline, and especially with today’s technology, men are able to conceive within a wide range of sperm counts.

Sperm Morphology

Sperm morphology refers to the size and shape of the sperm. Certain sizes and shapes of sperm are better at fertilizing an egg than others. It is estimated that up to 10% of sperm has observable defects and will have difficulties fertilizing an egg. It is important to know that sperm morphology is the easiest, and cheapest thing a man can change in terms of his fertility. Basically, the healthier you are the better your morphology. This means eat right, have great morphology.

It is important to remember that successful fertilization relies on a balance of these three factors. Low motility in a high sperm count is not ideal; whereas if you have high motility in a low sperm count you may have no problems conceiving. Also, it will take around 3 months to see changes in these things since it takes about 2 and a half months to grow new sperm.

Here are 6 classifications of male infertility you may have heard about:

• Oligospermia – “low sperm count”, or low concentration of spermatozoa in the semen
• Aspermia – complete lack of semen
• Hypospermia – reduced seminal volume
• Azoospermia – absence of sperm cells in semen
• Teratospermia – increase in sperm with abnormal morphology
• Asthenozoospermia – reduced sperm motility

Stay Positive

Being diagnosed with male infertility can be devastating. Believe me, I know. However, the more you learn, the better you will be able to deal with it, and hopefully overcome it. When you make the commitment to undergo treatment, you will be subject to frequent invasive testing and observation. As hard as this will be, keeping a healthy baby in sight will make this part easier. We as humans have an instinct to procreate and often have feelings of insecurity and insufficiency when this basic process does not work. If I get one thing across to you in this article, it is that infertility, both male and female, is very common and can be overcome. Good luck with your journey.

There are many reasons why couples choose gender of a baby. Maybe they already have a son and want a daughter or they want to have a son in order to carry on the family name. There are many methods that can help you on how to choose baby gender naturally.

The most important thing to understand if you want to pick the gender of your baby is to know how the baby is formed. The sperm cells decide the outcome of the gender of the baby and nothing else. The sperm cells contain same quantity of X and Y chromosomes. Male sperm cell contains Y chromosomes and female sperm cell contains X chromosomes. Male sperm is smaller but swims faster than female sperm while female sperm is bigger and tougher and has a longer lifespan than male sperm.

There are too many myths on how to choose the sex of your baby but the only factor that will determine the gender of your baby is the type of sperm that will reach the egg cell. If you want to have a boy, male sperm must reach the egg cell first and if you want to have a girl, female sperm must reach the egg cell first.

You can have high success rate by using natural methods of gender selection. These methods include your diet, positions and timing of your ovulation. You can also take a course on a fertility clinic regarding gender selection program but it is expensive and will not guarantee 100% success rate.

FertilAid for Men is a men’s fertility nutritional supplement that was designed by Dr. Amos Grunebaum to improve sperm quality in men. Studies have shown that this male fertility nutritional supplement is very helpful in enhancing sperm motility, repairing abnormal sperm, and raising sperm count.

Fertile and healthy sperm are usually characterized by sperm count, concentration of sperm, sperm motility and sperm quickness, and by healthy and balanced morphology (sperm shape and size). Sperm motility is defined as the amount of sperm of which have the ability to swim towards the egg cell. This male fertility health supplement covers those key concerns in male potency as well as reproductive system health with the combination mixture of vital anti-oxidants, essential vitamins and minerals together with the amino acid, L-Carnitine to assist you in your male fertility journey. This natural and organic male fertility nutritional supplement is available in an easy to take tablet form.

One of the more well known scientific studies on FertilAid for Men was conducted in 2006 by award winning sperm physiological Dr. J.E. Ellington. A double blind research study conducted recently demonstrated that this male fertility nutritional supplement helped to greatly assist males with “abnormal sperm parameters”. The study demonstrated that this male potency nutritional supplement served to drastically strengthen sperm health, and increased the “total quantity of motile sperm”.

In 2009, the research was publicized in the American Society of Andrology.

So if nothing else worked for you, try taking FertilAid for Men. Clinical research has already proven that it works to enhance both sperm quality and quantity.

If you're wanting a little princess or daddy's girl, there are a couple of things you should know that will help you increase the odds of conceiving a baby girl. This article will discuss manipulating ovulation, vaginal PH and acidity, and conception / intercourse positioning to achieve this goal.

Unique X (Girl) Sperm Characteristics: You should know that during conception, a man's sperms contains two differing types of chromosomes: X (girl) and Y (boy). If sperm containing the Y chromosome manage to beat every one else and fertilize the egg first, then a baby boy is conceived. If the X sperm is able to merge with the egg first, then a little girl is in your future.

Simple enough so far, but each chromosome has it's different characteristics and personalities. The X (girl sperm) are extremely strong. They can live in the vaginal tract for days under harsh and acidic conditions, but they are slower than their male counterparts. If all things were equal, it's more likely that the Y (boy) sperm would fertilize the egg first, but your job is to make sure that all things are not equal. You need to create the optimal environment for those X sperm to arrive first. Here are the three variables you must be able to control:

Conceive Well Before Ovulation And Stop Trying As It Approaches: Most people try the all out attack approach when trying to conceive. They basically get a decent idea of ​​when the woman is ovulating and then they try to conceive as much as they possibly can in that window. This is a great way to conceive if you are neutral on your baby's gender, but if you're wanting a baby girl, then you should conceive three days prior to ovulation and stop there. Why? Because the girl sperm are hardy enough to wait for the egg, but the boy sperm are not. The girl sperm are slow, so our criteria is to allow time for most of the boy sperm to die off. We know they are faster, so we don't want a race with them when they're fresh and new. The closer to ovulation you try to conceive, the more boys are favored.

Accurately Timing Ovulation Is Vital To Conceive A Girl: It's probably obvious that you need to know your day of ovulation well before it's going to happen and you need to be right. There's no room for error because if you are wrong and conceive too early, none of the sperm will be viable when you ovulate. But, if you wait too late, and conceive close to the actual day of ovulation, you'll have many very speedy, healthy boy sperm all too happy to fertilize the egg first.

There are many ways that women predict their ovulation, but most require subjective, and often difficult, evaluation of the body that can be very unreliable and prone to error. The cervical positioning and mucus method has a lot of room for mistakes, as does the basal temperature method. So, I much prefer ovulation predictor kits (saliva variety). These are reusable, accurate, and leave no room for doubt.

You Need A Highly Acidic Vaginal PH To Conceive A Daughter: Remember that the girl sperm are very hardy and can survive harsh environments but the boy sperm can't. Therefore, it's very important that you create an acidic (hostile) environment. This way even if you're slightly off on your timing, the environment will help to take care of the rest.

How To Get An Acidic PH: In order to get your PH more acidic, you should test your acidity before you try to conceive. You can easily do this using PH testing strips. Some people are naturally acidic and some are naturally alkaline. No matter where you fall, you'll need to change this until you're in the "girl zone." How can you change your vaginal PH / acidity? Through douching and through eating and avoiding certain foods.

The douching method is extremely effective because you can complete it right before you attempt to conceive and customize it based on your PH reading and how much you need to change. Gender selection clinics sell these customized douche solutions for a lot of money, but there are decent recipes that you can make and customize at home. When I say recipes I don't mean vinegar or baking soda and water. These solutions are not usually strong enough and they aren't individualized.

I understand some people don't want to douche. You can change your PH solely with foods, but to do so you'll need to very diligent. It's almost like being on a restrictive diet for a while, but it's worth it because you'll get a lifetime pay off.

I used both methods to change my vaginal acidity and I was able to see drastic changes (that worked) in only about a month.

Finally, I know there are supplements out there that claim they can change your acidity. I do not recommend them. Not only is it well known that obtaining nutrients from actual foods is much more effective than pills, the ingredients in these supplements can alter your sex hormones and therefore your ovulation. You can't afford to have swinging ovulation when you need to conceive on a very precise schedule.

Intercourse Positioning When Wanting A Girl Baby: Although sexual and intercourse positions are only a small piece of the puzzle, they are an important one. To conceive a female baby, you should deposit sperm as far away from the cervix as possible so that the boy sperm have a long way to travel in a harsh environment. For most people, this is shallow penetration, but again the plan should be individual for each couple.

1. Becoming a good lover takes time. So does becoming a good father. Donating sperm may have been easy, but fatherhood can be a lot more rewarding. Be patient with yourself and enjoy the process.

2. Hands-on fathering is good for you, your partner and your baby. It’s not just about changing diapers. Feeding, bathing, holding and talking to your little one helps you bond together and gain essential on-the-job training.

3. Your wife will be herself again. Yes, she is probably on duty 24 hours a day with baby on the brain. No, she probably isn’t much fun right now. But life will return to normal as the three of you adjust to your new situation.

4. You are important to your wife. It may appear that the baby has eaten her brain, but she still needs you. The beautiful woman you joined up with nine or ten months ago is still in there. Hang in there and stay close.

5. You will have sex again. With your wife. Given a little time, you can resume some of your more enjoyable husbandly duties.

6. Nobody deserves postpartum mood disorders, and nobody causes them either. Don’t blame each other when the going gets tough. Know that many symptoms will pass on their own in a couple of weeks, and all are treatable.

7. Sleep helps. Your wife is probably getting a fraction of the sleep she used to. You may be on the light side as well. Helping each other get more sleep is one of the most important things you can do to help everyone feel better.

8. Trust your instincts. Different “experts”, including the guy in line at the grocery store, will tell you to handle your baby a different way. Trust yourself, your wife and your baby to tell you what you need to know.

9. Your baby needs to play with you. Here is a case where having fun is the right thing. Playing stimulates your baby’s mind and body to develop in healthy ways. You may feel more playful right now than your wife, so go for it.

10. The advent of a new baby is stressful. Even miracles create challenges. Things should get smoother with a little time. If your lives don’t get better, or if you or your wife feels worse, ask for help!

Many couples who are facing infertility find that there are few satisfying therapeutic options between timing ovulation and undergoing IVF. There is another lesser known category of treatment that couples can consider; cervical cap insemination. To use this technique, the semen is collected and placed into a small cap which is inserted into the vagina and onto the cervix, the opening to the uterus. The sperm are held next to the cervical mucus while being shielded from the vaginal environment. Without this protection the sperm die within minutes after intercourse. Capping the semen onto the cervix allows all the available sperm to swim up into the uterus and fallopian tubes, to where the egg will be. The cervical cap can be used for treating low sperm count, low sperm motility, tilted cervix, and other common conditions.

Cervical caps have been used by gynecologists and urologists for decades and have been documented in medical literature since the first edition of Fertility and Sterility in 1950. At that time, Dr. M.J. Whitelaw wrote about a technique for insemination by “using a plastic cervical cap filled with the husband’s semen applied to the cervix for 24 hours”. (1) This was done to treat oligospermia, which is low sperm count. At the time, other OB/GYNs were also doing cervical cap insemination, but with a heavier cup made of surgical steel, with the women undergoing treatment having to lie down in the doctor’s exam room for six hours with their hips elevated.

Cervical cap insemination was used widely into the 1970’s and 1980’s. Effective for the treatment of low sperm count and tilted cervix, it was also used for unexplained infertility. In 1983, Dr. Michael Diamond and colleagues found that women with primary infertility, defined as no prior pregnancies, had a pregnancy rate of 43% in the first six months of cervical cap use. Women with secondary infertility, having a history of at least one pregnancy, had a pregnancy rate of 67% in the first six months of use. (2) Their method included a cervical cap that was placed by the patient onto the cervix then filled with semen using a catheter that fit into a small opening in the cap. The couples treated in this study generally had low sperm count and/or poor post coital test results, yet had normal evaluations of the female. The doctors in the study also offered cap insemination as an option for couples who had not completed a full evaluation which at the time included diagnostic laparoscopy. This allowed patients to continue trying to conceive and use all of their cycles, while still considering advanced options.

Eventually, with the advent of Invitro Fertilization (IVF) and subsequently Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), cervical cap insemination began to fall by the wayside. During the economic boom of the 1990’s, with more discretionary income, couples had access to a multitude of tests and procedures, even if their insurance did not cover them. Such tests as Hamster Egg Penetration, Hypo Osmotic Swelling Test, and Antibody Testing which were popular a few years back are not as frequently ordered by doctors today, citing the value of the results obtained compared with the money spent. ICSI, which was developed to treat low sperm count, is now used a majority of the time by clinicians with IVF. In the most recent data collected, The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) reports that ICSI use for 2006 was 62% of all IVF cycles. In 2007, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that over a decade, the rate of use of ICSI had increased five times although the sperm quality parameters over that same time period essentially remained the same.

While the cost and use of high tech treatments has skyrocketed in recent years, the cervical cap and at home insemination is quietly making a comeback. Couples interested in more cost effective, natural methods are seeking out other options for conceiving. At home insemination by cervical cap is a treatment option that can fit into several places in a couple’s fertility planning. For couples just beginning on their fertility journey, at home insemination could be used as a first step, especially when one or both of the partners are reluctant to spend a lot of time at the doctor’s office. For those who have been trying to conceive for several cycles, and may be taking fertility medications to enhance ovulation, a cervical cap could add another valuable tool to the treatment plan. Lastly, couples who are undergoing IVF cycles, or who have had IVF in the past, may want to try an at home insemination method on their cycles away from the more aggressive treatments. Single mothers of choice can also benefit from this technique as an alternate insemination delivery system.

Cervical caps, which have also been used for contraception to prevent pregnancy, are part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The current term for cervical cap devices used for insemination is conception cap. The cervical cap currently available for at home insemination is a modern upgrade of the old rigid plastic or metal caps of the past. The newer version is made of soft implantable grade silicone, and has flanges in the inner rim to create a one size cap that does not need to be custom fitted. It can be worn during normal activities, allowing a woman the freedom to go about her regular daily routine.

The clinical trial done for FDA clearance in 2007 was designed using couples who had been diagnosed with infertility; most of them also had attempted other methods such as IVF and IUI. The results were that 84% of patients found that placing the cervical cap on their cervix was easy to do, and 92% of patients found that the instructions were easy to understand. Of the patients involved in the clinical trial, 24% became pregnant within the first month, including couples with failed IVF and IUI attempts. (3)

Cervical cap use has shown positive results in the past and has something significant to contribute to the future of reproductive medicine. With the cost of medical expenses rising beyond the ability of the average consumer to pay, at home cervical cap insemination may be an attractive option for continuing pursuing family building in tough economic times.

Over the decades since the invention of tanning beds, different urban legends have popped up; including lowered fertility by using a tanning bed. Fortunately, there have been no conclusive studies that indicate that tanning beds lower fertility or sperm count. However, this does not mean tanning does not come with certain concerns for individuals in their childbearing years, particularly for women who may be pregnant.

The primary concerns for pregnant women do not include the fable that ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause skin cancer and premature aging, will directly harm the unborn fetus. They must be concerned with the following issues instead:

1 – Overheating may occur under the hot tanning lights and cause spinal malformations in the unborn child.

2 – Too much exposure to the same UV rays that tan your skin can cause a folic acid deficiency, which can create spina bifida in the unborn child.

3 – Laying flat on your back during the last trimester can put a lot of pressure on the lower back and reduce the blood flow to both your heart and to the growing fetus.

This doesn’t mean pregnant women must avoid tanning beds, but it does mean they need to take precautions, such as:

1 – Particularly during the last trimester, use a vertical tanning bed or booth. Another option is to use tanning bed pillows to provide relief to the strained lower back.

2 – Avoid using tanning beds too long or too often. Ten to fifteen minutes two to three times a week is more reasonable for a pregnant woman.

3 – Stay hydrated and use a tanning bed lotion that adds moisture back into to the skin.

While loss of fertility and tanning beds may be unrelated, overuse of tanning beds and an unhealthy pregnancy is, so if you think you may be pregnant, tan wisely. There is no reason to avoid tanning beds completely, since beds are no more dangerous to use than spending a day at the beach. However, it is important to take proper precautions again overexposure to the potentially harmful effects of UV rays.

It’s testosterone that makes the man, or so scientists say. Testosterone is a sex hormone that is involved at all levels of male performance and satisfaction, and low testosterone levels have been implicated with all manner of sexual health problems. Instead of spending large quantities of money on testosterone supplements and medications, it is possible for men to improve their male hormone levels by using penis-specific vitamins, such as vitamin C. Antioxidants like vitamin C have a direct effect on libido, fertility and testosterone production in men.

What is vitamin C?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is one of the best known essential nutrients required by the human body for health and vitality. First discovered in 1747 by naval surgeon James Lind as a component of citrus fruit that prevented the disease, scurvy, most vitamin C products are now either synthetically produced in a laboratory setting or extracted from natural sources, such as citrus fruit, rosehips, berries and vegetables. Few animal products are rich in vitamin C, though some Inuit tribes in North America consume whale meat and whale skin as their main dietary source of vitamin C. Since its discovery, researchers have found vitamin C to be an essential ingredient for making the body healthy, as it prevents atherosclerosis, reduces cognitive decline, speeds wound healing, prevents scarring, balances stress hormones, fights free radicals and supports a strong immune system. In addition, vitamin C plays a specific role in the sexual health and fertility of men.

Male hormones

Male hormones, in particular the steroid hormone known as testosterone, are sensitive to changes in vitamin C. This is important for men to realize, as testosterone effects all sorts of health parameters — sexual desire, libido, arousal, fertility, muscle development, energy, mood balance, and aging. Testosterone is produced primarily by the testicles, and, to a lesser extent, by the adrenal glands on top of the kidneys. When fatigue, stress, poor nutrition and disease causes problems in testosterone production, it may affect sexual health. Researchers from Al Azhar University in Egypt found that patients with infertility, impotence and varicoceles all had significantly reduced testosterone levels. While medications and creams are available which supply synthetic testosterone hormones, it is possible for men to increase their testosterone levels naturally and safely with vitamin C supplements.

The Vitamin C Effect

Vitamin C may not sound like the most masculine form of treatment for improving testosterone production, but surprisingly there is much more research being done on this antioxidant vitamin than many other expensive natural health products, such as tribulus terrestris or maca. Vitamin C improves both the health of the adrenal gland and the testicles, supporting two different levels of testosterone production. Men with high vitamin C levels in the blood also have healthier sperm, less acidic semen and increased libido. In one study, researchers from Firat University in Turkey found that vitamin C supplementation caused a significant improvement in sperm production and testosterone levels. In addition, a Korean study found that vitamin C supplementation protected the male reproductive system from the heavy metal cadmium — an environment toxin present in car exhaust, tobacco smoke and industrial waste. Testicular cells were protected by the vitamin C and healthy testosterone levels were restored.

Health crèmes

While vitamin C supplements are easily purchased over-the-counter in supermarkets and pharmacies, it is well known by many men that vitamin C often passes through the system and into the urine in large quantities. This problem can be bypassed by using vitamin C crèmes in the form of professional health crèmes and penis health crèmes. Penis health crèmes contain levels of vitamin C that can be absorbed into the blood stream directly, bypassing digestion, and into the local tissues. Specialist products (most professionals recommend Man1Man Oil) support connective tissue health, nerve function, and male hormone levels by combining vitamin C with other active ingredients such as shea butter, vitamin E, vitamin A, alpha lipoic acid and L-arginine.

Non-medical methods that have been used for centuries to escalate your chances of having a baby of your preferred gender. Although nothing is 100% accurate, using these natural techniques will increase your likelihood of getting the little boy or girl of your dreams.

It is essential to comprehend the process by which the sex of a baby is created. Sex determination hinges upon the male sperm, which either carries the X or Y chromosome. Each sperm contains either the Y chromosome or the X chromosome. If the y-bearing sperm fertilizes the egg, the baby will be a boy. Sperm bearing the X chromosome will produce baby girls when successfully fertilizing the egg. X and Y carrying sperm possess distinct characteristics. The x and y bearing sperms have different characteristics. The y-bearing sperm are faster swimmers, smaller, and more fragile. They do not live as long and thrive in alkalai environments.

Sperm carrying the X chromosome are generally bigger in size, slower in movement, and more stronger. They tend to thrive in acidic environments that are not as conducive for the y-bearing sperm, and they also live longer than the y-bearing sperm. Having this information, you will be able to increase your odds of conceiving a baby boy or a baby girl.

If You Want to Have a Boy…

The female orgasm can have the effect of changing the environment for the sperm. Having an orgasm gives an advantage to the sperm carrying the Y chromosome. When a woman has an orgasm, the PH levels in the vagina change as a result of the secretions. An orgasm creates PH levels that are alkalai, which is beneficial to the sperm carrying the Y chromosome. Thus, if you want to have a baby boy, the woman should have the orgasm first.

If You Want to Have a Baby Girl…

If it is a girl you hope to conceive, then the male should orgasm first. Doing this will make sure that the vaginal PH levels are acidic that is ideal for sperm carrying the X chromosome.

What to Remember

These methods, including the female orgasm, will help you increase your odds of conceiving a baby boy or girl of your choice. However, just as a reminder, there are no guarantees in life. You don’t have anything to lose since either way you’ll have the best gift you could ask for-a healthy, adorable baby.
