We have probably all heard the sperm count has reduced by something like 50% since 1950 in not just American males but in many so called advanced countries..
Xenoestrogens are clinically significant because they can mimic the effects of endogenous estrogen and thus have been implicated in precocious puberty and other disorders of the reproductive system.[1][2]
Xenoestrogens include pharmacological estrogens (estrogenic action is an intended effect, as in the drug ethinylestradiol used in contraceptive pill), but other chemicals may also have estrogenic effects. Xenoestrogens have been introduced into the environment by industrial, agricultural and chemical companies and consumers only in the last 70 years or so, but archiestrogens have been a ubiquitous part of the environment even before the existence of the human race given that some plants (like the cereals and the legumes) are using estrogenic substances possibly as part of their natural defence against herbivore animals by controlling their fertility.[3][4]
The potential ecological and human health impact of xenoestrogens is of growing concern.[5] The word xenoestrogen is derived from the Greek words ξένο (xeno, meaning foreign), οἶστρος (estrus, meaning sexual desire) and γόνο (gene, meaning "to generate") and literally means "foreign estrogen". Xenoestrogens are also called "environmental hormones" or "EDC" (Endocrine Disrupting Compounds). Most scientists that study xenoestrogens, including The Endocrine Society, regard them as serious environmental hazards that have hormone disruptive effects on both wildlife and humans.[6][7][8][9][10]

Clyde Lewis on Ground Zero was talking about sexual harassment, Sex dolls, and basic relationships. He told a story where a man at a large company around 60 years old dropped something and asked a female co-worker, "would you please get that for me dear?" The female got mad for being called dear and reported the guy to H.R. who was warned and the incident was put in the guy's file. I would bet he will not say dear to anyone else at work...?
Another interesting talking point was the deliberate destruction of the family and how children in many homes are raised ( just fed and clothed ) today.

Que left and bring in the sex robots. Japan seems to be leading in the sex robot industry as far as men living with the bought and paid for silicon darlings and is not as rare as one might think.
I would think that in the next twenty years (?) the sex robot will get better and more responsive instead of just being a lump of made up silicon rubber. They are already installing artificial intelligence for conversation and they are planning on touch sensitive skin and a built in heater to keep the doll/robot at a nice 98.6 degrees. I figure when the bots can make coffee and cook without a mess and clean up after themselves real women will have some serious competition.
As far as birth rates and the possible future of the sex bots you have to wonder in say 50 years what will a relationship look like and where is the next generation going to come from ?

You do this a lot. Deleting your messages so nobody can see. Take some more time to really think about what you want to say before posting.
Makes your opinions worthless if you just delete them all.

What nation are you?

We are the most sexually confused, sexually repressed and sexually frustrated nation on the planet.
I've traveled a lot and I just don't see these problems in other countries. I am sure they exist but they don't wear them on their coat sleeve for everyone to see.
