We maintain a website, choose-sex-of-baby.com, and to keep track of what people are interested in and looking for on this topic, we keep visiting forums and sites to read the latest posts and comments. This time we were specifically hunting for the reasons for anyone wishing to conceive a baby boy. Here is what we found (but don't read too much into the comments because they are probably "off the cuff"):

To start off with the "craziest"":

1. I'm 19 years old and I am 20 weeks pregnant with a boy. I always wanted a boy, even prayed for a boy, a son. I could never handle a girl. There's no way they are easier, especially if she's related to me! Girls are crazy and possibly evil so I'm glad to be having a boy, worst thing that happens with a boy is he's a bit stupid!!!"

2. "Our daughter is now 14 months, and we're due with our second child. We're wishing for a son, just so we can have one of each, love a boy to keep things equal and balanced but my hubby is still lacking that father-son relationship."

3. "I always wanted to conceive a boy first, just for that 'Big Brother' feeling. I had 3 older brothers growing up, and it was nice knowing there was always someone who would protect me and be watching."

4. "My husband also, I feel, wanted to have a son to carry on his name, since he is the only one to carry on the family name. His father died when he was very small, and he has only girl cousins from his father's side."

5." I wish to know how to conceive a boy, so I can know how it is to raise both, and it will give more excitement, to see how they are different"

5." I always wanted 2 children, a boy and then a girl. Because I am the oldest in my family and never had a big brother growing up. I want my daughter to have that."

And this statement, which was quite sad and touching:

6. If I can choose the sex of my baby, I really want a son. I have always wanted a girl, but this changed recently, when I thought about all the troubles I have put my parents through, and I wouldn't want my daughter to turn out like me, and I would be scared to death that she would. If I was told that I was going to have a baby girl, I would love her just as much as a baby boy, and wouldn't be disappointed at all, I would just be a little frightened that she would turn out like her mommy.

I have been in a lot of trouble (with guys) these past couple years, and I wouldn't want my daughter to be doing the things I did/do."

7. I'd want a little boy because I've always been a tom boy

We were quite surprised about the reasons why people would like to choose the sex of their baby, and had kind of guessed that couples may want to conceive a baby boy only either to "balance the family" or to "continue the family name".
