**# Male pregnancy is so incredibly rare that it almost never happens, which is why no one every mentions it. Usually, the two men have to be extremely powerful and/or [[The Power of Love|soul mates.]]

** Sometimes can be justified when you're writing about a verse where there are characters that are not human. If the male getting pregnant happens to be an alien species or a youkai, then it could be explained that in their species, [[Mister Seahorse|males are the ones to give birth]].

** Fanfiction has to make sense? What? I've stumbled onto fanfiction where it happens for no reason. Two guys have sex. Then a baby comes out. Because gay sex Totally Works That Way.
