What are your thoughts about Telegony?

Basically it's a theory in heredity where any man that a woman has had unprotected sex with. They're body would absorb the dudes DNA though his sperm and could be passed on to any children she has with another man in the future. That the offspring can resemble a mother's previous sexual partner.

  • The only evidence of telegony is in one study on fruit flies which have numerous sexual partners during the same egg-production cycle: www.telegraph.co.uk/.../...of-future-children.html
    The internet bloggers are loving this though so I'm having a hard time finding any respectable sources quite a few appeared to have religious motivations. One article you posted wrote in the end, "Now being older and more connected to my spiritual self I realize that sex is not something that is meant to be thrown around and given out so freely, it is a sacred act that creates a bond between two people that love and care about each other. It is so important for us (humanity) to realize this." The other is from a guy is obviously a misogynist. Why are you using a PUA as a source?

    • I've learned with gag it doesn't matter what website you put, it's probably still not 100% the truth.

    • I care. Besides that pig doesn't deserve the extra hits.

  • That explains why my brother kinda looks like my moms first husband even though she was a thousand miles away when he was conceived.

  • It's completely false and is biologically impossible.

  • I've studied genetics a bit. This sounds like complete BS based on what I know. Looking at the link and the studies they reference, it looks like they are religious people trying to pass a bunch of pseudoscience to trick women into being celibate. I'd look more into it, but I simply don't care. The reality of how you pass your genes to you are born with your eggs which have your genes in them. Nobodies sperm is going to get into those eggs and change your genes around. It just sounds pretty retarded even with that very basic logic applied. Let alone going much deeper into genetics in general, which I ain't gonna do. Don't worry about this, it's bullshit.

  • Thats bullshit xD

    Foreign DNA cannot survive in your cells, it will trigger the immune system which will eradicate the infected cells.

    And if the body could store foreign DNA, why store it? Why not just fertilise yourself? That would certainly be a useful feature during evolution.

  • I don't hold that to be true.

  • Sounds scary but not sure about the mechanism of dna survival and how it can survive many yeara. They probably have more studies but who knows maybe

  • No significant effect.

  • Interesting, my best buddy is a handsome guy. I wonder if she'll... bhahaha

  • Nonsense.

  • It's kinda gross to think about. I feel like if it was proven to be true guys would be even less likely to want to marry a woman who has slept around.

    • If it is true then a lot women will be rejecting men with having sex with them and become more picky and paranoid about it.

    • That too, but it would be too late for the women of this generation. Many have already slept around a bit and their partners' DNA would have already been absorbed.

  • I never heard of this in my life lol

  • A women mostly has sex with the partners that she likes to have sex with. if she has sex with many partners The DNA that enters her body through sperms , kissing , or through other means is processed in her body. But the effect from this could be very minimal. It could be like less than 1% chance , for such a thing to happen.

  • I heard about it. One more reason to prefer a girl with a low body count.

  • It's total bullshit. It's only been observed in some species of flies. It does NOT occur in humans and it's usually white supremacist dick bags who push it. It's a way for them to hate the 'race traitors' and all that garbage. It's been used to promote false race 'science' in the past.

  • Thanks for including the definition I don't know wtf you were talking about:P
    Lmao my ex-girlfriends are stuck with me forever!
    kek bitches #payback

    • Update: it is an interesting article but it is false. There are no facts and proof to back it up- (i searched) this website also states that "Collective Evolution (CE) believes in creating change by thinking outside the box. We aim to challenge the current status quo by shaking up how we currently think about the world." they are aiming to have people 'think outside of the box' rather than back up their information with facts.. but the writers are good enough to make people believe in what they say haha.

  • That makes no sense at all

  • If possibly becoming permanently attached to someone via pregnancy wasn't a big enough risk to scare people into being more selective...

  • "Any man who reproduces with a single mom will have a child that contains DNA from the bastard spawn, which of course includes DNA from the absentee father. This means that men can be genetically cuckolded without being traditionally cuckolded, and that having a baby with a single mom is essentially giving the father of her first child a bonus prize in the game of evolution."

    this is a whole new level of being a fucking cuck.

    there is little evidence done, but lets assume it is correct. then why would men even take care of the kids of the women he fucks as they are never completely his? this means that when you make a woman pregnant that there is DNA of the guys before you there as well.

  • Hmm... Interesting

  • Total bullshit, lol.

  • They didn't look at women who didn't have sex? How do they know it's not a product of birth or something natural? Maybe men have something similar, although you can't test for it since they obviously have X and Y chromosomes.

    Is the DNA 'unique'? Or is it just basic DNA that all males will have anyway - making it irrelevant?

    Is the DNA actually passed on to children? If not then it's irrelevant.

    And do women even care?

    There's not enough information here to form a real opinion. Like the study said, it needs more research.

  • I think its BS.
