“Something is very wrong with men”

I'm not concerned.

Mother Nature is simply implementing more restrictions.

She will bring us to heel eventually.

Dont see why it should baffle them. Just read Bill Gates comments on vaccines and control of fertility. Just look at all the chemicals in food and water, shouldn't have to look much further than that.

Like Dr Day said in his speech entitled "Everything is in place and no one can stop us now" he said something along the lines that everything serves two purposes.

Exposure to Phthalates has been demonstrated to have adverse effects on male reproduction in animal studies.. I wonder if this is telling us something, Good idea to limit exposure to Plastic

Id safely put a bet on it being radiation fallout from A bomb / H bomb , tests, Chernobyl and Fukushima

and its only going to get worse

Yep, naturally it has nothing to with over population and the inevitable behavioural sink

What about chronic masturbation to porn?

No one seems to think that this could be a plausible cause?

Eat healthy and I'm sure you will be fine. Carry on taking McDonald's etc then no wonder .

This helps fertility if anything. As you produce new healthier sperm rather than old stale ones

a reply to: loam

I remember your old thread. Thank you for bringing this up. Thankfully (though I'm retired from reproducing now), I can't have sex with my wife without some form of birth control without insta-preggs.

I'm a small sample size, but I do far more to avoid chemical exposure than most - from food to water to medications and more. I'm convinced we're (collectively) doing it to ourselves. Whether it's on purpose or just a consequence of our profits-first / long term viability-last society is what I wonder about.

No worries, the "government" has this problem under control.

My oldest son and his wife have spent nearly 100k trying to have a child,think there may be somethuing there

You are whacked. Women have a lot of the same issues. You think women have no problems with stress, or that they don't ingest toxins?

I think the likeliest explanation is offcast "artificial" hormones and psych meds in the water supply. This stuff is also showing up in seafood.

That's really depressing when some couples have to pay a fortune to have a child and others have no problems conceiving. How do we justify putting a price on having children? Sad.

I have 2 nieces who had trouble conceiving. The one paid 40k, they now have 2 girls. The other paid 10k and had a boy. The second time it was by chance she got pregnant and they now have a girl. Paying labs to have children is becoming big business.

My old neighbor's son's wife had trouble conceiving. She ended up having a girl, but gave up trying to have a second child. So there's three couples just in my circle of family and friends that were having trouble conceiving. This problem is really becoming way too common.

a reply to: WeRpeons

Wow, 50k? Seems like a rip off. People should stop doing such things and paying such high prices and maybe won't be a business for it. I'm not trying to be cruel but a little thinking outside box is in order.

I have a lesbian friend who has been with her partner for years. They wanted a kid through natural birth and needed sperm. They asked and I said sure based on fact I knew they loved each other, they had been together for last 10-13 years or so that I've known them. I knew they were responsible and would make great parents. They both worked but could not afford anything compared to price range you're claiming.

She went to get a lawyer at about $2000 to write up a disclosure that I would sign off on rights of child and paid for me to do a HIV/AIDs test and a physical. $100-200 maybe? Once a month or so she would let me know when she was ovulating. They would treat us to a nice dinner usually at steakhouse or buffet and my wife and I would go to her house. They was nice restaurants so I know this set them back another $500-1000 because it took 3 tries for sperm to take. I would put my sperm in a cup and pour it into a large plastic syringe in another room and her partner would inject it in her after we left.

This isn't the only time I've known or been apart of something like this either. I knew another couple where the guy's brother did it for his sterile sibling. I know that's more preferred because of genetics. My god child ended up looking like lesbian mother; though I don't have rights to her she calls and considers me her Uncle and plays with my two kids almost every weekend.and other family it was a boy and looks just like mother and nonbiological father. Some may find this weird.. but I know I'm not only one who would do this.

When you have friends and family you stick by them and you hope and wish for the best for them. I am pretty far right and I live in the bible belt in south and consider myself pretty radical in Christian values. But hey, it was the nicest thing I've probably ever done and don't regret it in the least. My wife was a little uncomfortable at first but she loves our new niece and see her today as part of our family just as much as my friends do.

I think only flaw was that my niece has blue eyes, which I have but her mothers dont. They didn't seem bothered and when she conceived they boasted at her big pretty blue eyes. It tears me up a bit remembering how happy they were when she was born. The Irony? I don't believe in gay marriage. But I believe it's not up to me to judge. I believe God put me on this Earth to love and care for others, so I did just that.

I'm sorry, but that is just disgusting.

GMOs, chemicals etc.. sure. But also, perhaps nature has a way of balancing herself. We're clearly over populating.

It's interesting... And maybe similar to how more baby boys are born after a war. To balance out the male population lost.

Weird.

If nature was trying to "balance" itself because of over population.... it wouldn't start with North America.

It's actually been noted a similar occurrence is happening in much of the western world. I haven't researched far enough about global fertility rates.

So the west who is haveing issues... considerably smaller pop than the east who is not having fertility issues.....

Explain your theory.

Read my post please.

"GMOs, chemicals etc.. sure. But also, perhaps" ... I was agreeing with what had been mentioned and merely making another suggestion. Not exactly posing a theory.

I'm sorry, but you're immature.
