MALE AND FEMALE GENETICS
It is common knowledge that the sex chromosomes are as follows:
XX => female, XY => male
Therefore, it is the male sperm that determines the sex of offspring since either an X or a Y is donated. Now lets make a couple of assumptions. FIRST, the more genetic material a cell has the more cellular energy that can be produced over time. According to this assumption, the X sperm cell would have more endurance. SECOND, the more genetic material a cell has the heavier it is. Once again, the X sperm cell would fit this description and as a result it would be expected to travel SLOWER.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
According to the above, the X sperm cell would travel slower, but would have more endurance giving it the capacity to sustain its mission for a longer period of time. So, if you want to have a girl, intercourse should occur at the first sign of the onset of fertility (another good reason to monitor mucus!) ... then you should abstain until well after the fertile time disappears. For a male, you should have intercourse as close to the time of ovulation as possible.
In the old days we used to say "please don't try this at home." Well, you can try it at home! In fact, go right ahead ... but of course you should be married! This is very important!
One more thing ... This is going to require a significant amount of self control in order to abstain at the proper time otherwise it won't work. Also, by reason, it should be a lot easier to increase the probability of a female child, but not necessarily a male child. That is because to correctly judge the time during which to have "early" intercourse is going to be a lot easier than determining the precise time of ovulation. But what the heck ... give it a try!
