    Human parthenogenesis
    I have been very sexual ever since I was very little, and I would always touch myself at a very young age. After I read about parthenogenesis I stopped doing so specially when I started getting my period afraid I might get pregnant. I still feel very sexual at all times but I stopped "masturbating" ever since I got my period. Can anyone help me with this and maybe explain why I feel this way at all times? And does it have anything to do with parthenogenesis? I have a female friend who has the same problem and a male friend who was also very sexual at a young age and still is. PLEASE HELP

    Help with what? No matter how sexual you feel and how you express that, you cannot reproduce by yourself or with another person of the same gender.

    While the technology perhaps exists for the creation of a human through cloning or some other method requiring only one "parent", it's absolutely impossible to get pregnant as a result of masturbating. People of both genders have been doing so for as long as humans have existed, and no incidence of parthenogenesis has ever, ever, EVER occurred. No need to worry!

    What worried me the most was that it has been happening to me ever since I was a child and I didn't know what it was back then so it didn't really matter to me until my early teenage years. Is this normal though? Having a strong sexual desire at a very young age?
    But this made me feel so much better thanks :)

    Yes I know I'm 19 now, but the whole thing has been freaking me out, and the idea of a child feeling horny 24/7 up to this day seems very strange specially that its happening to me

    If you know how pregnancy occurs then you should be aware that masturbating cannot cause pregnancy.

    Some people are more sexual then others. If this is intruding on your every day life then it's time to seek counseling.

    I recently found this while researching human parthenogenesis:

    There is some evidence, however, that natural parthenogenesis does occasionally occur in humans. There are many instances in which impregnation has allegedly taken place in women without there being any possibility of the semen entering the female genital passage [2]. In some cases it was found either in the course of pregnancy or at the time of childbirth that the female passages were obstructed. In 1956 the medical journal Lancet published a report concerning 19 alleged cases of virgin birth among women in England, who were studied by members of the British Medical Association. The six-month study convinced the investigators that human parthenogenesis was physiologically possible and had actually occurred in some of the women studied [3].

    It is possible that some cases of human parthenogenesis involve self-fertilization rather than true virgin birth, as there are cases of sperm being produced in women by vestigial, usually nonfunctional, male reproductive glands known as the epoöphoron (parovarium) and paroöphoron, which correspond to the seminiferous tubules of the testicles in males. In some instances, the magnetic influence and nervous excitement occasioned by attempted sexual intercourse may rouse into activity the latent, rudimentary male sex glands so that they secrete semen, resulting in impregnation [6]

    If you continue to research, you will find that such a thing is called a molar pregnancy and produces only a tumor with possibly hair and teeth. Mammalian parthenogenetic ova/embryos are not viable and do not develop beyond an early embryonic stage.

    And this does not occur because of masturbation.

    This is what caught my attention:

In some instances, the magnetic influence and nervous excitement occasioned by attempted sexual intercourse may rouse into activity the latent, rudimentary male sex glands so that they secrete semen, resulting in impregnation [6]

    The last part where they say that sexual excitation may lead to the secretion of semen and lead to impregnation

    The passage that's worrying you strikes me as complete nonsense. For one thing, the epoophoron and paroophoron are vestigial homologues to the epididymis and the mesonephric tubules. While both play some role in the transport or storage of semen in males, they DO NOT produce sperm. Sperm are produced in the testes. To say that the epoophoron and paroophoron produce semen in females in certain rare cases is completely laughable.

    The other red flag is the term "magnetic influence". Maybe the author meant it as a metaphor, but reading it in the context of a lot of quazi-scientific-sounding mumbo jumbo, I think they meant it literally. To suggest that magnetism has anything whatsoever to do with reproduction is absolutely ludicrous.

    This article smacks of the deceptive anti-science that tends to be propagated by religious nut-cases.

    I promise that no matter how aroused you become or how "horny 24/7" you've been for your entire life, you absolutely 100% CANNOT get pregnant without a source of male sperm (or some serious Nobel-prize-worthy scientific and medical intervention). You really, really, really don't need to worry yourself about this. :)

    As for people having a high sex drive even as a young child, I'm not an expert on the subject, but I don't think it's all that unusual.
