    I’ve seen some CN authors think girls can get pregnant from swimming. I’ve seen this in an immortal dad novel and Empress’s Gigolo. They both think girls can get pregnant without having sex. They think a guys sperm can magically float into a girl without it dying.

    Isn't normal dude and a cultivator difference is only the first died first? If he still live, he is a cultivator.

    I dunno, man. I don't get that cultivator template

    well in ancient times girls where not allowed to hold hands with boys because their parents told them they could get pregnant. they were also told kissing would make them pregnant. I think semen in the water sounds more logical as semen can swim. even tho we all know it won't swim into a vagina like a heat seeking missile it still sounds more plausible then holding hands or kissing.

    How do you know it doesnt behave like a heat seeking missile?
    Maybe scientists design heat seeking missile based on that?

    It is possible in modern society to impregnate women without sexual intercourse.

    It's even more possible when the supernatural is involved. I mean, we have the Virgin Mary.

    Unless you mean they never had any physical or supernatural contact with the person, and somehow they got pregnant out of nowhere? If that's the case, then that's truly beyond science and magic! "The power of plot compels thee" is the author's greatest double edged right.

    HA it is a well-known fact that sperm in ancient times could do it. They were more vivid form of modern sperm.
    Like the real studies about how men in our days have less active sperms because of the wrong living habits.

    Yeah it's a bit out of normal way a sperm on itself should not have the "energy reserve" to swim that long and a chance to find the right way is out of statistics possibilities.

    Nevertheless, I know of some of novels where it was the other way around like
    "the brave new world" where it was a description of how modification were done to the unborn and make them into proper
    "dumb" economic slaves at the time it was written it was put as
    a imaginary Utopia novel but with our technology of today we could "do it".

    Back to the topic it is a "minor thing" not like some other things that
    i categorize as bad writing like overuse of "deus ex machina" so called plot armor or the change of genre like you starts with an ancient novel with swords or swords and magic and for the last 100-200 chapters the author put in a full SCI-FI like star wars.

    I am not really all that familiar with Chinese language and culture, but I suspect it's actually an euphemism for some kind of sex. Possibly the kind that involves naked adults in the pool.
    Chinese are known for their colorful euphemisms.

    There should be a distinction made between whether this is something the author believes or it's something one of his characters believe. It can be easy to conflate the two, but they say very different things about said author.
