comingly of blood majorly is a word used when it has to do with blood convenant, and also used in married when it is believed that they share common interest, belief and a deep degree of passion towards another. not blood during sex |

in emementary biology only one survives the revolution to invade the ovum, and the others die not absorbd. |

All these theories, postulates and hypothesis being thrown around has little scientific backing. Couples will begin to "look alike" to the viewer/looker who looks at them for too long. If you stare at a painting for too long, the eyes int he painting will start to move around and follow you around the room. In the same vane, if you see two people together all the time, before long, the image of one person will trigger the image of the other in your mind. They can easily be interpreted by you as one and the same or very closely related. It is all in the mind of the person viewing the couple. If however, you see a couple married for over 25 years for the first time, there is absolutely nothing about the two that will make them look the same to you. Children do not feel this way about their parents because they know absolutely nothing about how their parents looked like when they first met. So, they have absolutely no basis for comparison lest to figure out if papa is becoming more like mama or vice versa. The genetic makeup of the man and the woman is not altered or affected by either of them. There is absolutely no exchange of genetic material even if one person donates blood to the other. However, their offspring is definitely going to assume some semblance of both parents in equal or disparate measures. That is all genetics. Just because a child looks a bit like the father and a bit like the mother does not mean that the man will start to look a bit like the woman. That essentially happens in the mind of the person doing the looking. The sperm or ovum released by the man/woman does not alter the genetic make up of the man/woman in any form or shape whatsoever. Every genetic information a man/woman possesses has already been completely packaged and assigned to him/her during fertilisation in the mother's womb. |

Simple reason: Everyone has facial expressions and mannerism that makes them unique. With time if you live with someone for a long time you start to mimic those expressions subconsciously. If the woman pouts her lips when surprised, the man will eventually start to mimic that expression as well when surprised. If the man raises an eyebrow when he hears something silly, the woman starts to mimic the same gesture eventually. All these facial expressions tend to mold the look and lines on our faces. Blood mixing, intercourse? That's just BS. |

TELEMEDICINE HERE IN NIGERIA: PAY TOKEN FEES FOR ANSWERS TO YOUR HEALTH AND MEDICAL QUESTIONS TODAY. What would you do if you had the opportunity to ask a close doctor friend a very personal question like? • ’What can I do for my quick ejaculation because it’s getting me embarrassed as if I were still a small boy’ • ‘My vagina oozes odour during sex, is there a solution?’ • ‘I noticed something new around my genitals(penis/Vagina) and I am curious’ Especially when you have tried the usual ampiclox, home remedies, herbal and natural products without much success, or You could JUST want to settle an argument on a sex topic and need a professional perspective to it. I imagine that very few persons can muster the morale to journey all the way to the hospital to ask such rather “equally embarrassing questions”. We often rely on peers, trusted elders, and sometimes the internet, but the truth remains that the blind leading the blind does not improve insight. Even as health professionals, not everyone is a sexologist and we could tend to be more aloof in issues of sex or even dabble dangerously in order to save our face. So why not pay for professional consultation today and get all the answers you truly deserve. The professionals are Nigerian consultant sexologists practicing right here in Naija so you can bet they will be very much relevant. But, it is not only sex matters that are private. You can consult on any health matter as there are other specialists in other fields of medical practice that will answer your queries correctly. For instance,’Does pregnancy change mood’ Send your question as follows: Age, Sex, Location, and MTN recharge PIN (*N100.00 for answers within 72 hours, N400.00 for answers within 24 hours), to 07037853517.Strictly SMS, no Calls. NB: Every question attracts a basic charge depending on how fast you wish to receive the answer(s), so do not lump together more questions than you have/can pay for. Pass the buzz around, you do not know who may be dying in silence. |
