    Make more sperm or humans are doomed.

    Come on fellows, our sperm counts have halved in 40 years and the future of humanity is at stake.
    So lose weight, stop smoking, skip steroids and don't keep your mobile near your privates. This is serious.

    Just means you get to do the deed twice as many times to produce offspring.

    Apparently less than 15 million sperm per millilitre of semen is a low count.
    I'm not sure how to measure that. 😯

    Natures revenge, the Earth fights back.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    It only takes one.
    The other 14,999,999 per ml are losers.

    Something to do with not having to chew before the swallow, IIRC.

    Apparently, the subject has been under discussion for the last 25 years or so, and there is no definite answer as to whether the effect is real or not. A major issue is that this meta-study has combined a large number of other studies, where the measurements are not necessarily made in the same way. Perhaps the major issue with the data is that most of the data in recent years comes from fertility clinics, and the increase in low sperm counts may simply reflect the fact that more men with problems having children are going to fertility clinics. Or a number of other unknown issues with the sample selection.

    This said, obesity is a known factor depressing sperm count - and it has been on the increase in the western world over this period. On the other hand, smoking is too, and this has been decreasing!
