There are some studies that show the DNA of all the previous sexual partners of a woman can still linger around inside her, and when she will get pregnant her children can inherit some of their traits.
So if you want to be sure your kids are only your kids, and they don't have another 100 fathers be sure to marry a virgin girl. Or maybe if you want your children to be Chads, but don't posses Chad genes, you could get a woman who had many Chad partners before.
The implications of the study are that any mates a female has had may leave some legacy—in the form of physical or other traits that are carried in the semen (but not the DNA-containing sperm)—that could show up in her future offspring with another mate.

How Previous Partners Affect Offspring
At least, if you’re a fly. But the research suggests that it may be time to take into account more than just DNA when it comes to our offspring
