"Since your readers and your medical advice seems to hit the nail on the head, I thought I’d run this by you so you could solve this quandary for me. A friend of my late wife once told me that men who have more daughters than sons must have masturbated a lot. His claim is that “nature”then thinks there is a demand for proclivity and delivers with more females to meet the demand and lesson the burden on someone shooting seed all the time(to get females pregnant and populate the earth. Have you heard such a thing? It sounds legit but I haven’t been able to prove him wrong yet."
Here's some of what I have found on the subject:
"The sex of the baby does depend on whether an x or Y chromosome sperm cell penetrates the egg. However, ejaculatioms - through masturbation or partnered sex - do not affect the ratio of x to y sperm cells."
The article "How to have a Boy" published in Healthline in May 2020 kind of disproves your friend's theory. The only effect of frequent masturbation may have is that more healthy sperm are contained in the ejaculate.
Any further information would be appreciated.

I have heard that the gender of a baby is often influenced by the woman, whether she is more alkaline or acid. It is explained here:
https://www.bountyparents.com.au/expert-advice/gender-selection-influence-sex-baby/
A woman’s monthly bodily cycle includes alternating pH levels (acidic and alkaline) within her reproductive tract.
The changes in the pH environment within is now thought to affect baby’s gender. Experts say that alkaline in the follicular fluid will favour Y sperm (conceive a boy) while acidic in the follicular fluid gives preference to the X sperm (conceive a girl).
To conceive a girl you should:
Eat a diet higher in magnesium, calcium and acidic foods such as corn, meat, beans, fish, plums, coffee, eggs, liver and yogurt.
Avoid alkaline foods such as bananas, orange, potatoes and watermelon.
Take supplements such as calcium, folic acid, magnesium and vitamin C to help make the cervical mucus acidic (which will in turn kill the Y sperm).
To conceive a boy you should:
Avoid dairy products and lower magnesium and calcium supplements
Increase vegetables and fresh fruits
Increase foods that contain potassium, like bananas
Eat plenty of alkalinising foods including figs, cherries, fresh lemons, spelt bread, lentils, avocado, royal jelly, pine nuts, almonds, carrots, red radish, fresh red beets, alfalfa grass, barley grass, sprouted seeds, and wheatgrass.
The father should also avoid excess heating around the genitals because heat destroys male sperm faster than female ones (also, avoid tight-fitting underwear, saunas, hot tubs etc)
I have absolutely no idea.
Yes, masturbation has no effect on the type of sperm. Leading theory suggests that 'male' sperm area faster swimmers but die off faster than female 'sperm'. If you have sex close to or just after ovulation the chance of having a boy is higher. If sex happens a few days before ovulation the chance of having a girl increases.
Sorry. That is just.. ignorant. I am still trying to fathom who would believe or make up such nonsense. Sigh.
What I saw in some theories is that the way you penetrate the vagina could be why you might have a boy or a girl.
That theory said and if you go deeper near the uterus neck, the male spermatozoids which are «lazy swimmers» can reach more easily the ovule.
The reverse seems to be said as if you ejaculate far from the uterus neck, the female spermatozoids which are long runner and best swimmers can reach the ovule more efficently letting the male ones behind.
No sure if it's tru but as I had two sons and one girl I cannot remember which of those «shots» did bullzeye.. LOL!
Without considering the scientific basis for the reader's claim, it sounds like an Old Wives' Tale to try and keep boys from masturbating (playing on the "I need to have a son to continue my line!" theory).
If masturbation do not affect the ratio of x to y sperm cells, I think that there is nothing to add.
Hugs and bisous my darlings Jean and Pat.
When you think you've heard it all...
I had no idea people believed jerking off would have them have... girls?
It IS the man's contribution what determines if the baby is biologically male or female, but jerking off?
No.
XOXO
this theory made me smile!
What in fresh hell?
I have never heard of such a thing.
Yeah, I'd also say it's obviously just a myth. š
Then again, does it really matter if it's a boy or a girl? š¤·♂️
It's a person, your precious son or daughter. A par of you. Happiness! š
Yeah well... some spermatozoids are apparently programmed to create people with an extensive ability to believe in the dumbest of things :-p
Interesting theory indeed, but I do know many people who have two children and will have both a boy and a girl. Another case where a couple had 3 boys, and then lastly a girl. Could this go along with the idea that male swimmers are weaker? Since he was an older man after 3 boys, his strongest sperm made a baby girl? One of my grandfathers had 5 girls. I believe his brothers all had boys.
*part
Outside of designer babies there is little to nothing that can change the outcome of what gets cooked in there.
Other methods is the temperature during incubation. Warmer temperatures can increase chances of having a girl and colder temperatures can increase the chances of having a boy. There are probably heaps of hobo advice on what sex the baby will be. There might even be one where you do 3 hops backwards after sex for a girl or 3 hops forward for a boy.
Someone out there would believe that.
The act itself; all the penis is is a tool that delivers sperm to the egg. That is it. Nothing else is required of it other than get the sperm to the egg.
Well my grandfaher had 2 male and 5 female, my father had me, 1 male and 3 females, so what that means???
The sperm carrying an Y-chromosome is more lightweight and hence a bit faster when it comes to swimming than the one carrying an X. Also, the X is more robust and stays "alive" longer. So, it is a matter of time regarding the meeting of sperm and egg. Insemination shortly before the ovum arrives, will more likely produce a boy (fast Y-swimmers), insemination a bit longer before the ovum, results more likely in a girl (longerliving Y-swimmers). It is the same in cows. I did artificial insemination on dairy farms for some years.
