Select The Sex Of The Baby

Select The Sex Of The Baby

Wanting for a boy: Have sex as close to ovulation as possible. The underlying logic being that the male spermatozoa are smaller and faster but die off more quickly. These will therefore (in theory) tend to swim more quickly and have a better chance of reaching the egg first. However, if ovulation does not occur for a few days (three or more), these will have died off. Use mildly alkaline douches before having sex to counter the acidity of the vagina.

Acidity tends to favour ‘female’ spermatozoa. Endeavour to have an orgasm which promotes release of alkaline chemicals in the genital tract which favour the ‘male’ spermatozoa. Abstain from sex for a few days before starting to try since a high sperm count will tend to favour a boy (apparently) Ensure as deep a penetration as possible during ejaculation to bypass the ‘hostile’ acidic vaginal canal.

Some positions may favour this and Shettles suggested a man behind position for this. Man should ideally have a cup of coffee (not decaffeinated) before sex. How this is supposed to help is not made clear. Man should have a warm birth just before sex to boost the perkiness of the ‘male’ spermatozoa. It is upon the promoted methods of baby sex determination that the woman can do herself.

Want for a girl: This will involve doing the opposite of the above (obviously). In summary: Confine your sex to around 3 days before your projected ovulation date and abstain after that. The longevity of the ‘female’ spermatozoa is supposed to ensure they will be the only ones still around when the egg is eventually released. Use acidic douches such as dilute vinegar before sex to increase vaginal acidity which is supposed to favour ‘female’ spermatozoa.

Woman should suppress orgasm which will favour the ‘male’ spermatozoa. Have regular sex and do not abstain for more than a couple of days in the lead up to the period when you will be trying for a baby. Shallow penetration at ejaculation will do just fine for a girl as the sperm is maximally exposed to the vaginal acidity thereby favouring the ‘female’ spermatozoa.
