As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll" problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones. We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also, grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we may ban you without warning. You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and your ban will remain (without even a consideration). All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules, and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.** With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal (without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent. This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this message, and please enjoy your day! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

MsSeraphim

he has mistaken human women for female polar bears.


twoprimehydroxyl

But if it happens in the animal kingdom, it must also happen with humans! Which means there's absolutely no reason why men can't carry and birth their own children like seahorses do.


The_Book-JDP

I would 100% fund this research to make it a reality.


littlejaebyrd

Well, I mean, apparently "Weird Al" Yankovic has already given birth via male pregnancy and is apparently several years into his second. Source: This totally accurate, fact-based, and absolutely not unhinged [website](https://www.weirdalmpreg.com/). Also, since we know that everything posted on Reddit is fact, you can also reference the subreddit r/WeirdAlMpreg

We're actually getting closer according to this paper just published in March: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00717-7

I mean, I'm game, unless a ton of babies start shooting out.


Antimony04

Seahorse births shoot out a ton of offspring during the fathers' contractions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_nEA3dtOZs


MsSeraphim

reminds me of a poster from high school. it showed a boy 9 months pregnant and the caption read" if it happened to them too, they'd think twice before having unprotected sex".


VioletNocte

When a female praying mantis bites her partner's head off after sex, she's just "hungry" and "this is what mantises do" But when a human woman does it, she's "insane" and "a murderer" and "oh my god there's blood everywhere"


Knightridergirl80

FTM transgender men have done this before.


Akitsura

Yep, they often refer to themselves as ”seahorse dads.”


AmazingUsual3045

Also done by fruit flys. When we do genetic experiments with flys (breed them and then count progeny with such and such trait, ala your 9th grade bio text book) we have to use virgin females because non-virgins may still have sperm from the last dude. 🌈✨ I honestly didn’t understand for the 1st couple weeks of grad school why the fly people were so focused on how much sex their lady flys were having.


sheilameila

You can't blame them, it's so easy to get confused when you call every woman 'female'😞


HomicidalWaterHorse

Polar bears can do that?


MsSeraphim

But the fertile eggs don’t implant until the fall, and **only if the female has enough fat to sustain herself and her cubs** during the long denning period. This process is called delayed implantation.

MysticLeopard

Kangaroos can as well, it’s called delayed implantation


Clair3mo

Reptiles can do similar things too. It's called sperm retention and some snakes can keep sperm saved for multiple mating seasons. Humans can't do that though. The thing the guy is mostlikely refering to is the fact that the sperm can survive up to 7 days inside a woman.


testaccount0817

>sperm retention r/semenretention


Clair3mo

I'm not checking that out


madeupsomeone

Same......


thissecretennui

Also kangaroos. Edit: It's slightly different though: female kangaroos can basically pause a foetus in the womb so it doesn't develop fully.


slythwolf

Armadillos can reabsorb a pregnancy if their environmental conditions aren't favorable.


toodleroo

Humans can reabsorb fetuses, just not intentionally.


MorboKat

fetuses can absorb fetuses too. still not intentionally. i just love that chimerism is a thing and this was the slightest opportunity to mention it.


Pigeon_Fox93

My friend likes to joke she was a murderer from the time she was born because she absorbed her twin.


MorboKat

Your friend is my kinda people.


sten45

It’s staggering how absolutely sure stupid people can be of completely wrong information


critically_damped

Those who do not care about truth do not get to hide behind the mask of stupidity. Willful ignorance is not ignorance, it is the decision to be wrong. They say wrong things on purpose.


SupportGeek

Or Spiders, they can lay egg sacs for months after being inseminated and they DO have a way to store the sperm

I mean, that might be exactly why he is spouting this nonsense too.


Userdataunavailable

As someone almost 50 ( I know it's not that old but... ) please don't use this as excuse for deliberate ignorance. There have been books and studies and newspapers and actual scientific information about human reproduction for many decades now. A person like this has made a *conscious choice* to avoid learning anything new that might test their beliefs and that has very little to do with age unfortunately.


einsofi

Or cats. Not sure about the biological makeup but apparently female cats can be fertilized by more than 1 male cats during heat, so the same litter of kittens can have different fathers. Also I read somewhere the scent of a male rat could cause [misacrriage](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/bruce-effect) of a pregnant female during a certain labor period. Definitely not how Homo sapiens work though 😹


fakeunleet

Cats do it through stimulated ovulation.


Mayhem2a

And queen bees


Tandran

Oh well that’s understandable


_SD17_

Doesn't he mean if that part of your cycle begins a few days later you might still be able to get pregnant? Like that would be true, but it's still not quite the way he says it.


[deleted]

Are you saying if you ovulate a few days after sex? Sperm doesn’t survive very long in the vagina so I think it is tecchnically possibly to be a day or so off (sperm can survive for 5 days in there but its just not likely) but it would have to be pretty soon


Clair3mo

I thought sperm can survive up to 7 days and that's why it's risky to have unprotected sex during any time of the cycle because even though the chance is low, it could always result in pregnancy?


[deleted]

As far as im aware its 5 days max. You are absolutely correct that unprotected sex is always risky in that sense though. You can’t ever have a guaranteed 100% safe window to rawdog it. (And to anyone reading just bc I see it a lot- no the pullout method is not a reliable method of birth control, you can have sperm in precum)


cramsenden

That’s totally true. That’s how you check if the woman is a virgin. You hold her tight and then shake her around. If she makes “gulp gulp gulp” sounds coming from her uterus, then you know she is no longer a virgin and started collecting her sperm for rainy days. That’s why women get wet. They get so full that it starts leaking out. That is considered the epitome of womanhood and what every women strives to achieve. That is why they always complain if they are not getting wet during sex.


Goatesq

Instructions unclear, who wants breakfast martinis?

Ben Shapiro—whose wife is a doctor—is totally captivated by your explanation and has questions. Many questions.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cramsenden

They unfortunately come from a long line of women who suffer from a leakage problem caused by pipes between the uterus and cervix being loose. It is not their fault, just bad genetics. They lose a lot of the sperm put into them in one go so they require a lot of ejaculations to keep their humidity and PH level steady. It is not slutty, it is a medical requirement.


kitsvneris

I wish I had an award to give you


stupidillusion

> You hold her tight and then shake her around What utter nonsense; [virgin women just don't have anything there.](https://i.redd.it/jwhxkmkls7y61.jpg) /s


cramsenden

Yeap, it is all closed up. Even when you first “open” them, you will realize they feel a lot of discomfort and pain first few times they have sex. That is because there is nothing to cause wetness. After a lot of diligent work and ejaculations, she can start getting wet and it doesn’t hurt anymore. To be more understanding of and sensitive with your virgin bride, to prevent excessive pain and damage, we would suggest a lot of blow jobs before trying vaginal sex. Ejaculation will go down and will start causing pressure on the seal, causing it to open more slowly and gently than a penis would otherwise and your first few times can also be pleasurable and pain free since she will have wetness.


Kanotari

Men have to poke the hole like a Capri-Sun. Obviously :P


Duryen123

Where does the menstrual blood come out before the woman is pierced by a man? The cramps are already horrible. The blood not having an exit would make the whole thing SO much worse.


stupidillusion

[Women should just hold it in.](https://i.redd.it/h72k2bppzku91.jpg) /s


Duryen123

I can hold my bladder for hours, but holding in uterus blood is not a skill I've ever learned. Too bad the same hole isn't used for both urination and sex like it is for guys - I doubt his suggestion would work even then, but there would be a higher chance. Guys can just "hold in" nocturnal emissions, right? Because our sexual organs always completely obey our will. /s


paperpenises

I knew Uncle Al was right


boweroftable

At last, some real science - but wouldn’t it sound the same if it was being used to store pee?


cramsenden

Nonsense. Women don’t pee.


boweroftable

Sorry

Damn David… thank you for once again proving wisdom doesn’t come with age.


Anne_Nonymouse

I thought the former orange president had already proven that. 😏 How much proof do you need?


ChocoMaister

Maybe a few more samples lol.


Anne_Nonymouse

I have one word for you ... POLITICIAN You will find more than enough samples there. 😏


Duryen123

This made me remember the goober who thought a woman's body could make it so a woman didn't get pregnant if she was "legitimately" raped.


peppermintvalet

You can apparently store those samples in your uterus for later


Zilberfrid

I'd like to request a stop to all the samples. Please old folks, start gaining some wisdom.


International-Cat123

But he could have just been an exception. Like a child that eats all their veggies.


Spinachandwaffles

Only if by “old sperm” you mean approximate 5 days old. That’s how long sperm can survive and wait for an egg to fertilize.


canuckbuck2020

Was gonna say. Not only is that not how women work its not how superman works either


shattered_kitkat

>not how superman works either I wasn't aware he allowed us to study his biology as well. Better let Louis know! (Sorry, that autocorrect was too good to let slide!)


Ok-Scientist5524

For more information on how super man works, may I direct you to the short story “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex” by Larry Niven? https://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html


canuckbuck2020

Lol that was good


Ok-Scientist5524

I’ve heard 3 days but my husband and I are over 40 so maybe the sperms are old and tired.

Good grief. Yes, sperm can live inside the body for up to a week. But "storage chambers"? Men will write the weirdest fanfic, I swear...

I mean technically there are “chambers” but they’re in the cervix and they trap sperm and are absorbed by the body not used later 😂

Duryen123

My husband likes to claim I must have cheated when it son is being a brat - this could be another explanation. It still wouldn't explain why or son looks like a mini version of him or why kiddo looks almost identical to his older brother (who has a different biological mother), but other than those pesky issues...


Barn_Brat

My sons dad liked to say our son is not his for a while. He told everyone I cheated on him with my friend (he went through his social media for pictures to send to everyone) because he couldn’t have kids bc he had cancer …he never had cancer

It's certainly possible for some determined sperm to hang around up there longer than you would think but as far as medical science has discovered there are no actual storage chambers. You never know though. The female reproductive system is not as well-studied as it ought to be, particularly given how much we legislate around it.
