Thats why most people get boys cause the male sperm can swim faster to the egg but the female sperms swim slower but last longer they dont die as quick as the male sperms or something???? I really want a girl :(

Yes. You are right. The male sperm swim much faster than the female sperm, but the female sperm are much stronger. (Ironic, huh? lol)
You should look into the Shettles Method. They make a very good point and even have several books out.

Sperm for Girls and Boys
Yes. The X sperm (which are the sperm that make females) live longer than the Y sperm (which are the sperm that make males). However, the Y sperm swim faster, so the chances are equally good that you will get a girl or a boy. If the Y sperm swim fast enough before they die to fertilize the egg, then you'll have a boy. If the Y sperm don't reach the egg before they die, chances are an X sperm will get there shortly, and then you'll have a girl.
Here is more input and advice:
X sperm are stronger than Y sperm but both will perish very quickly if allowed to dry out.
The female carrying sperm are the slower sperm because of the genetic material it carries. The female sperm contain an X chromosome, while the male carrying sperm contain a Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is very small and contains very little genetic material in comparison to the X chromosome, so the male carrying sperm are able to swim faster and reach the egg sooner than the X carrying sperm.
A baby's gender is determined by the chromosomes in the sperm, not the egg. XX makes female, XY makes male, all eggs contain an X chromosome, so sperm donates other X or Y chromosome. Female sperm live up to 5 days, male sperm up to 3 days. (Egg lives 12 to 24, maybe even 36 hours after ovulation.) Female sperm live longer but swim slower than male sperm. (Vaginal environment supposedly contributes to sperm longevity, alkaline/acidic - male sperm prefer baking soda douche prior to sex, female prefer acidic (vinegar) (supposedly) - but most importantly of all, male swim quicker, so for male baby, have sex within 6 hours before ovulation, to beat female sperm to egg. Vice versa, for female baby, have sex 4-5 days before ovulation, for better chances of having a girl baby. Test for ovulation with home ovulation testing kit, get familiar with when you ovulate, and plan accordingly for future ovulations and future timing of intercourse.
Men produce two types of sperm, those containing the X chromosome, female sperm, and those containing the Y chromosome, male sperm. Sperm are being produced continuously, they take about a month from the beginning until they are mature. As the Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome the male sperm is lighter and faster than the female sperm and therefore gets a head start towards the egg. Female sperm being heavier have more staying power and can keep going for longer.

Yes it's true that male sperm swims faster, but dies out quicker. Female sperm swims slower but lives longer. The theory goes... if you want a girl, have sex further out from your ovulation date to give the female sperm time to swim and during the wait for ovulation to occur most of the male sperm will die out, while the females will survive longer. The closer you have sex to ovulation, the more chance there is for boy sperm to reach the egg first, which is already present.
Research the Shettles Method. This method is based on conceiving and gender selection.
Good luck.

Apparently male sperms live shorter than female sperms. Soemthing like 3 days for male and 5 days for female (I'm sure I have read that somewhere - lol) So my logic is if you are having sex on day before or on day of ovulation then the male sperm stand as much chance as female to getting to the egg first. So have sex a little further away from ovulation date. However you stand more of a chance missing the jackpot, instead be happy with either and hope for a well baby. Genetics also has something to do with your baby's gender.

There's no way to tell which gender of sperm will reach the egg depending on when you have sex. Though research has shown that the male sperm swim faster and die sooner and that the female sperm swim slower but last longer. It is because of this, that there is a 51% chance of conceiving a boy and 49% chance of conceiving a girl.

Um....most people DON'T have boys. The female to male ratio in the world is like 3 to 1. All babies appear to be girls when the egg is first fertilized. The transition to male is what a lot fo times causes a miscarriage, alas more girls in the world :)

Luckly this is a great solution for premature ejaculation http://EndPrematureEjaculation.enle.info/?2zxB
A guy always cums fast when its their first time. and especially if he's been waiting for a long time. Guys are erect at least 5 times a day so what I would do is some foreplay until he ejaculates or the both of you for that matter its not fair that he has orgasms and you don't so get him to do you first and then once you finish he will be more than ready for his orgasm. then use a condom because that cuts down the sensations for him if he feels he is about to come prematurely then tell him to come out and do some more foreplay on you so he has time to calm down. the condom should work but if you want a baby tell him to take the condom of before ejaculation and then finish in you. the longer you wait to make him come with foreplay the quiker it will be because he has to get it out of him.
He also does need time because you are the only one he has been with so once he gets used to it, you can really enjoy it once he gets his techniques down pat. Tell him what you like. Get some books and videos also until you both are experienced. Or you could even have a quickie in the morning, when you get home and then at night. he will diffently last longer because his mind has been free twice already. You get on top of him and you control the situation. Also my boyfriend tells me that he thinks about none sexual things for a while to help control him, tell him to think about a sport or something that calms him. If that doesn't work then just do IT over until you are satisfied
