We have a website, choose-sex-of-baby.com, and to monitor what people are interested in and looking for concerning this topic, we keep visiting forums and sites to look at the latest posts and comments. This time we were specifically hunting for the reasons why anyone wishes to conceive a baby boy. Here is what we discovered (but don't read too much into the comments since they are probably impromptu):

To start off with the truly unexpected":

1. I'm 19 and I am 20 weeks pregnant with a boy. I always wanted a son, a male, even prayed for a male. I could never deal with a female. There's no way they are easier, especially a girl related to me! Girls are insane and possibly evil so I'm glad to be having a boy, most awful thing that happens with a boy is he's a bit stupid!!!"

2. "Our girl is now 14 months old, and we're expecting our second baby. We're wishing for a male, just so we can have one of each sex, love a son to keep things equal and balanced but my husband is still without that father-son relationship."

3. "I always wanted to have a male first, just for that 'Big Brother' feeling. I had 3 elder brothers growing up, and it was good knowing there was always someone who would protect me and be watching."

4. "My husband also, I feel, wanted to have a boy to continue his name, as he is the only male left in the family. His father died when he was little, and he has only girl cousins from his father's side."

5." I wish to know how to conceive a boy, so I can see how it is to raise both sexes, and it will be more exciting, to watch how they are different"

5." I always wanted 2 children, a male and then a female. Because I am the eldest in my family and never had a big brother growing up. I want my daughter to have that."

And this statement, which was rather sad and touching:

6. If I could decide the sex of my child, I really want a son. I have always wished for a daughter, but this changed recently, when I thought about all the troubles I have put my parents through, and I wouldn't want my daughter to turn out like me, and I would be frightened to death that she would. If I was told I was expecting a female, I would love her just as much as a son, and wouldn't be disappointed at all, I would just be a little worried that she would turn out like me.

I have been in a lot of trouble (with guys) these past couple years, and I wouldn't want my girl to be doing the things I did/do."

7. I'd want a boy because I've always been a tom boy

We were rather astonished at the reasons why people wish to choose the sex of their baby, and had kind of guessed that parents may want to conceive a male only either to "even out the family" or to "continue the family name".
