Yea but do you believe in it? There's lot of of evidence for this available online but the sheer DENIAL from males & females alike I've seen is very very strong

 

[Deleted member 36341]

nah
condoms.

 

[LOLI BREEDING]

lol if that shit was true 99% of guys would be tested not father to their own kids. and it makes zero sense. there are much better reasons to feel disgusted by roasties tbh

no.

It’s probably more true mentally than physically.

It’s probably more true mentally than physically.

This is why sluts have a high degree of mental illness, and other neural disease.
If they have more than one males DNA in the brain the chances of mental illness go up exponentially.

No.

Your linked study on microchimerism in the human female brain completely fails to support "telegony" and your claim that a woman 1) passes on the DNA of every male she's had sex with and 2) passes it onto her children, however you define "passing it".

Did you even read it?

I didn't say I believed in it. The data is too inconclusive to make a general judgement on telegony, but it's not an excuse to not show all or most studies on it.

I think they'll questioned their denial, once they realize that siRNA and mRNA can seep through condoms from men's seminal fluids (not sperm itself).

I assumed that they become “liberal” due to mental health problems, and mentally unwell people are more likely to be more promiscuous. Not sure though.

in a study they proved a description of male MC in the female human brain and specific brain regions. The study was originally trying to determine if women who have been pregnant with a son might be more predisposed to certain neurological diseases since these certain diseases occur more frequently in males.

"Collectively with data showing the presence of male DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid [32], our results indicate that fetal DNA and likely cells can cross the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) and reside in the brain. Changes in BBB permeability occur during pregnancy [33] and may therefore provide a unique opportunity for the establishment of Mc in the brain. Also unique to our study are the findings that male Mc in the human female brain is relatively frequent (positive in 63% of subjects) and distributed in multiple brain regions, and is potentially persistent across the human lifespan (the oldest female in whom male DNA was detected in the brain was 94 years)

when they autopsied the brains of women who had never ever been pregnant they STILL found male DNA prevalent in the female brain.

So how does that prove "telegony", exactly? [UWSL]What your study demonstrates is that cells (and therefore DNA) from a male fetus can permeate the blood-brain barrier of a pregnant woman. [/UWSL][UWSL]It offers zero support whatsoever for the conclusion that a woman "passes on" DNA from all previous male sexual partners to her offspring, however you define "passing on". [/UWSL]

lmao I just can't

That's not a study, that's a screenshot from a badly written blog post written by someone who doesn't understand gene expression. It's an unsubstantiated and quite frankly bizarre leap to go from "male DNA from fetal cells can be found in women's bodies" to "male DNA from fetal cells cause women to develop masculine phenotypes" or "promiscuity causes women to develop masculine phenotypes" or "the children of promiscuous women inherit DNA from not only the father but also his mother's previous sexual partners".

Look, my contention wasn't with the study itself. My contention is that your study didn't even come close to matching your outlandish claims.

No, telegony is pseudoscience, and it's funny that a bunch of boomer crackpots are citing studies they haven't read or don't understand to support their theories.

There are of course fields of study that examine epigenetic inheritance, but by definition that precludes "passing on DNA", since epigenetics examines transcriptional regulation as opposed to changes to the nucleotide sequence,[UWSL] and even so nothing is close to even establishing "telegony".

I've revisited this recently - the only good and to the point "source" provided seems to be this wordpress article that cites numerous studies: https://elvinlink.wordpress.com/2019/02/24/telegony/
The only issue I've found is that he doesn't explain how the retrotransponsors end up affecting all the eggs, but I'm not an expert. Care to take a look at it for me?

Actually he has a pretty sloppy use of all the studies, I'm inclined not to believe him.
