We're currently looking to start a family, so I thought I'd hit up YT for some advice as a male and the priority skew is mental. The most important thing is having a boy, apparently. Not tips for being supportive, how to help your partner, how to deal with anxieties about money and time.

I'd like to chime in and say that there are some great pieces of advice here, thanks for being good, Lemmy!

My advice for conception is to just enjoy your partner. Don't make it work, go on dates, use foreplay, make it fun, and you'll build memories as well as a stronger bond. Always communicate with your partner, that makes everything better, even the uncomfortable things, just remember to be kind.
