Frequently Asked Questions
What is
“mpreg”?
The term “mpreg” is a short
reference that stands for “male
pregnancy”. This term also more over is referring
to anything related to the mpreg community.
Is ‘mpreg’ a
fetish?
Yes and no. While some in the
mpreg community view mpreg as sexual, there are others that see it
more as a personal interest. In that regard, the mpreg community is
more of a subculture than a fetish, as it encompasses many
different personalities and viewpoints.
Is it even possible for a man
to become pregnant? If so, how would a man become
pregnant?
Yes it is, in fact many respected
experts on the matter have said so. The only issue is an ethical
one, whether it will be safe for the father or male “mother” in
question and the baby, as well as how socially and culturally
accepted it would be. There are some ideas on how it
could work, such as through an "ectopic pregnancy" or with a
transplanted uterus.
Why would a man ever want to
become pregnant?
There are many different reasons
why a man would want to experience pregnancy. Some want to go
through the experience of pregnancy, others want to become pregnant
for their female partner so that they would not have to endure the
strain of pregnancy, and others still would do it if their partner
was unable to become pregnant for any reason.
Are there many men that want
to genuinely become pregnant?
This is a hard question to answer
as not much formal study has been done on the matter, however,
there have been a handful of polls taken that gives us a rough idea
and range. A few polls taken in France show that between 40-50% of
biological men say that they would gladly become pregnant if it
were possible, there is also an ongoing online poll that asks men
if they could get pregnant, would they carry and give birth to
their child, 27% picked ‘yes’, 9% picked ‘maybe, if their partner
gives birth to their next child’, 24% picked ‘only if their partner
could not’, and 40% picked ‘no’.
Are there many women that
want men to experience pregnancy?
In the same online poll 50% of
women picked ‘yes’, 11% picked ‘maybe, if they give birth to their
next child’, 20% picked ‘only if they could not’, and 19% picked
‘no’.
If a man did ever become
pregnant in real life, how would the baby come out
?
Via caesarean
section.
Has a man actually ever
gotten pregnant in real life?
By certain definitions of
“manhood”, yes, many transgender males (i.e. FTM, F2M, trans men)
have become pregnant and given birth because they still had the
“equipment” to do so, however in regards to cisgender males, no
known case of a pregnant man has been documented, although there
have been documented cases of men being born with working
uteri.
Are all the men on this site
transgender?
No.
Do the men here want to
become actual women?
No, the men here do not wish to
become women, though there are those who do, and there are even
some crossdressers. Again, it depends on the person in question, as
there is no general model for our interests.
Are only gay men interested
in male pregnancy?
No, some are gay, some are
straight, some are bi, and some are asexual. Male pregnancy is not
just “a gay thing”.
Is the idea of male pregnancy
a new and modern subject?
Actually it is not. The idea of
male pregnancy has been observed in human history since ancient
times.
Exactly how popular is
mpreg?

but can be found all across the web from Deviantart to Tumblr if
you look in the right places!
