Hopefully they will never discover that this is due to excessive wanking.
Of course the availability of pornographic material has increased, but previous generations seemed to do fine with sears catalogues so I'm not sure that is a big factor.
> Swan also recommends reducing exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals by being a savvy consumer Most hygiene products get away with listing diethyl phthalate as 'Parfum'. What we need is not savvy consumers what we need is regulators to get serious.
I get reliably downvoted for suggesting this, but we need vastly better labelling across the board. We give companies a lot of leeway when it comes to selling things to put in and on our bodies without us, owners of said bodies, having any way of finding out what the hell is in their products, or where they came from, or how they were processed. It absolutely baffles me how everyone doesn't want considerably more inf…
I wonder how much of it has to do with COVID. It's been well known even asymptotic COVID cases can harm mens' reproductive health.
I had a test recently and I have 0% "normal" sperms, when 4%-14% is the normal range. Pretty radical. The doctor said to take vitamins, to get testosterone to normal level, and to excercise. In other words not much to do
Am I reading this right that the average person has 86-96% abnormal sperm?
The delta between likelihood of attending college between males and females is higher now than it was before title IX was enforced. It's simply shifted in the other direction where females are far more likely to go to university than males.
Males are far less likely to graduate high school. They are far more likely to commit suicide and use drugs.
Nobody cares. There are tons of programs like "girls code" but nobody bothers to volunteer for programs like "boys graduate".
I have both a son and a daughter and it's obvious which one the school system is designed to cater to versus the one who is essentially flawed by design.
Our society and academia are fixated on inequalities amongst the top top tier of high status humans. As if the fact that a disproportionate number of Fortune 500 CEOs are males means anything to the 99.999% of males who will never be remotely that status.
It's just very odd that we have decided to divide humans into categories we care about based on identity.
> “Levels of testosterone have been reported to be declining during the same period of time that the sperm production rates were measured in this meta-analysis.” Testosterone is the new canine tooth.
May explain a large portion of this shift. I wonder if they normalized for bodyweight in this study

>to get testosterone to normal level, How does one do that exactly?
Non-paywalled link: https://archive.ph/AfzEs I've heard a lot of theories about what is causing this, the most common being plastics, increased sugar consumption, more people worldwide being overweight/obese, more people worldwide being sedentary/less physically active, exposure to various harmful chemicals, and more. I'd assume it's probably a combination of several factors, but similar to plummeting male testostero…
I think it's frankly weird to see what is clearly a male health issue and make a jab at women's health funding when its not like the article was talking about comparing to women's issues. This is very whataboutism.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
There's several ways. Get enough sleep, eat healthy fats, quit alcohol, lift weights, reduce body fat to a healthy level (but not too much) increase vitamin/mineral intake if you are deficient. Or go on TRT.
My doctor says lifting weights doesn't increase testosterone. It would be nice if it were true but it seems to largely be a myth. (I believe testosterone goes up slightly immediately after lifting weights but it has no real impact as it shortly goes back down.)
