Male Pregnancy

Things That Annoy Me

~Inspired by Lilikoi

Talking about unrealistic plots, there’s been something that’s been bothering me for a long time.

How do men get pregnant?

I mean, they do in fanfics, so I’m just asking, how do they really?

If it was an OTP, there would usually be two males. Can two males really make a baby? I’m pretty sure I learnt in Biology class that to make a baby, you’ll need an egg and a , not two . Definitely not two . Nor two eggs.

And even if it does happen, does this mean that the one who gets pregnant is the one who produced the egg? C’mon! You’re defying against nature here.

Okay, I know that mpreg fics are somewhat the guilty pleasures of some of you guise (actually me too), but have you ever stopped to think whether it was possible or not?

Also, let’s say I choose not to care about the possibility of a male getting pregnant and I just continue reading. Then comes the time he needs to give birth, hooray! How is he gonna do it? Push through that tiny little hole? He won’t survive, seriously. Maybe a caesarean is possible but giving birth by natural means is just… no.

Okay, lemme tell you something my teacher said in class (it’s really funny).

We were learning the topic of reproduction in plants when we went off at a tangent and discussed about reproduction in humans instead. Somehow, we managed to link the issue to an interesting topic, that is how it would be like if males were the ones who gave birth. My teacher said that if males were to get pregnant, there wouldn’t be any womb for the baby to grow in, so the baby would have to grow in the male’s balls (yes, those were her exact words). Then since there was no possible way of pushing the baby out, those balls would just have to explode. And her conclusion? Giving birth would be a one-time thing if it were males doing it!

Trust me, my class was laughing non-stop from this and that conversation was carved into our minds ever since.

I’m still not very familiar with these kinds of fanfics so I shouldn’t comment so much about it, just needed to get something off my chest. I’ll probably add on in another chapter when I have more reading experience, but until then, this is what I have.

If you have any other issues you wanna bring up, lemme know in the comments or you can pm me in the messages if you wanna have a chapter/topic all to yourself (I’ll credit you!). Ciao!

Male preg does not bother me as much but what makes me cringe in when the male who is pregnant calls the baby ' my bundle of joy'....I don't really know why it makes me cringe, but it does.

Chapter 22: I agree with you ONE THOUSAND TIMES OVER!!!!! Those smart Alecks just makes me want to punch them in the throat! Just GTFO! And I despise fictions that use Xi as LuHan's last name it had me hating LuHan for a while because for the life of me it confused me when I started out. It's the same with those who us Li for HanKyung/HanGeng. It's Lu Han and Han Geng, dammit!

Chapter 22: A lot of fanfics here have this: except the main female character(s) who is supposedly "different": while the rest female population is "obsessed" with the main male character(s), she doesn't even care about them, the rest is filled with makeup, she doesn't put on much (sometimes even purposingly uglify herself), the rest is always in short, revealing clothing, she doesn't even like dresses... I know it's to make the main female character look good, but that doesn't mean the other regular females are all the same. And even if they do things like that, why authors have to make them become so easy, so... disgusting? It's only how they choose to dress, how to act... not because they're all bad like how they're discribed. Sometimes main male character(s) suffer this as well.
Sorry for the rant, but I hate it when people make other people look bad just to make someone look good.

Chapter 19: Somehow chapter 19 suddenly makes me want to rant all day long. Okay i have to admit, i do curse alot sometimes (okay, i do it all the time tbh) but let's all think again, there are freaking CHILDREN on asianfanfics (mainly my little brother, who now curses alot due to the fanfics that he was reading), wouldn't it be a bad influence on them? For instance, in my country (mostly my juniors) say alot. When i was in fourth grade, i didn't even know what that word meant. But now, the fourth graders at a school nearby says it like it's not a big deal. I don't know why, it irritates me alot when the ones that seems so innocent says a word they shouldn't even know. End of rant :3

P.s Anime? Should i list alot? I mean i can give you a whole page of animes you can watch. I don't know which genre you would like so, for starters if you haven't watched it yet, you can watch “Kaichou wa maid-sama”, which is very funny to be exact. I'm feeling the urge to give you a whole list to be honest.

P.p.s You made me check my comment for a long time before actually posting it. Ahaha, you changed my writing style, and to be honest, it helps me alot in my writing exams. So, Thank you :3
I still think there are alot of mistakes though.（＾ω＾）

Chapter 21: I have to agree on this, particularly the first point. It is just really unrealistic to conceive after you have just had a miscarriage. I know that some people are just misinformed when it comes to certain things, but things shouldn't always be put in a story just because they could happen in real life.
