Superstition?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Old legends about how the sex of a child is determined. Today, we know it's based on X and Y chromosomes. I assume the superstition morphed to state that "well, orgasm order, position, wind speed over the Sahara determine which sperm is selected" for which we have no peer-reviewed evidence to the best of my knowledge.
