If a man takes a hot shower before having sex, is he more likely to have a girl or a boy?

I sometimes hear from women who want to know what their husband or partner should do to help them get the gender they want when they are trying to conceive. One of the variables I am sometimes asked about is warm or hot showers.

I heard someone say, “I heard that if a man takes a very hot shower before having sex, it will help have a girl baby. Is that correct? Or hot shower advice for trying to conceive a boy baby.” . ?”

The idea behind this tip is that the heat of the shower will lower a man’s sperm count. And as this process occurs, more Y-producing sperm or boy would be removed because those sperm chromosomes are weaker. So, following this same line of thinking, the theory is that the sperm left behind after a hot shower is more likely to produce girls. Therefore, if the theory is correct, it would be more likely that it was a girl (not a boy).

I see the logic of this type of thinking but I think it is not entirely sensible. I’ll tell you why in the next article.

A man’s sperm can be affected by changes in temperature, but it has to be extreme: It is true that sperm are very sensitive to temperature. It is said that this is why a man’s evidence is found outside his body. However, it takes more than a hot shower to raise his body temperature, which is what it takes to have a significant impact on sperm.

Now, if you were talking about a very hot sauna or sitting in a hot tub for an extended period of time, these things could actually lower your sperm count. But when you are trying to get pregnant, I think you would want a higher sperm count to increase your chances of conceiving. But more important than that, what a man does today affects his future sperm, not his current sperm, which brings me to my next point.

It takes 2 to 3 months for sperm to be produced. Today’s habits only affect future production: Just for argument’s sake, let’s say that the hot shower would affect the man’s sperm. The thing to remember is that it takes months for sperm to be produced. So if a man were to shower today, this would have an effect on the sperm he’s producing a few months from now, but not his immediate future. Therefore, taking a shower before having sex will not affect the sperm that will be released later that day in an attempt to conceive at all.

That is why this theory is not sound in my opinion. A hot shower is not only not enough to lower your sperm count, but even if it did, it would affect what happens in the months that follow. So, to answer the question posed, there are old superstitions that suggest a man’s hot shower before conception favors a girl, but there is little science to back it up.

And, if this couple wanted a girl, the best idea would be to have sex before ovulation when the woman had an acid PH and also avoided orgasm. These things have an immediate and significant effect. Also, with this method you can keep your sperm count up to give you the best chance of success. Remember that each chromosome in your sperm increases your chance of pregnancy, so you want to have a high count, not a low one.
