Sperm counts of western men plummeting

I made no such statement

 

I believe you believe this.

We may never know for sure if quality of semen has declined the last 50 years. Still, it's food for thought.

 

Wearing extra tight briefs along with obesity may create challenges in the fecundity department. Whaddya gonna do?

 

The CNN article was accompanied by an ad for fertility therapies, at least on my device. Hmmmmm....

Because of the way I had kids, I had to get tested. Mine was in the 65 million to 75 million range over the few times I got tested for the two procedures. Doctor recommended ICSI. because it is not just sperm concentration, but the number that are not abnormal in some way. Now I was over 40 and so doctor said the chance of natural conception was not very good based on my readings-now since I am gay, it didn't matter. My only exposure was discussion with the two different doctors who helped me both times. Both said they were seeing infertility more and more in straight couples-even in men in their twenties far more often. Both didn't know why.

 

It is interesting. Per this and the other articles, the sperm count seems to be continuously declining. I find it amazing that it is happening in one area of the world and so consistently and that nobody seems to be researching to find a cause and /or potential cure. Meanwhile the rest of us have our opinions.

I thought I had heard that this was because of so much estrogen in our water from birth control pills. Men on bottled water do better.

 

If no ones heard it Ill be glad to claim the reason. Sounds right to me.

The Chinese are poisoning our balls so we create less humans to compete with them....

 

In the mean time...the Chinese are using “sperm extractors” to increase their population....

There's also the fact we have an aging population. And the use of assisted reproductive technologies in the first place has increased the proportion of people with genetic infertility issues passing them on...there are a lot of candidates to consider before jumping to the idea that socialization is lowering sperm count.

 

Hell, your sperm count declines if you masturbate frequently because you are more depleted at any given time. Maybe we jerk off a lot more than people in other countries.

They test for both sperm count and for motility in fertility testing. No matter how many swimmers you got, the swimmers got to swim.

Given that each of my kids was a “first try,” I took steps decades ago to assure that my sperm count would be zero.

 

Personally, I think the problem is more likely rooted in fashion trends which hold the twins closer and tighter to the body where they’re hotter.

I don’t understand your second sentence, and how did you assure that your sperm count would decline to zero?

Snip snip. A vasectomy. The most certain form of birth control following closely behind TriNoAcetol.

Ah! Thanks.
