Subject: Modern life causing lower sperm count in Western men
Written By: TheReignMan99 on 07/28/17 at 7:55 pm
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/07/25/health/sperm-counts-declining-study/index.html
"Sperm counts of men in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are plunging, according to a new analysis published Tuesday"
Some scientists are predicting that this could lead to "human extinction" :o
The study show that the effects of modern life is causing the declining sperm count:
"The impact of the modern environment on health of populations and individuals is clearly huge, but remains largely unknown," said Levine. "Sperm count has previously been plausibly associated with environmental and lifestyle influences, including prenatal chemical exposure, adult pesticide exposure, smoking, stress and obesity. Every man can reduce exposure to chemicals, avoid smoking, keep balanced diet and weight and reduce stress."

I don't know if porn is the cause. Heck, Johnny Wadd never seemed to have any problem with his sperm count. 😂

But if men are not tested then they will not know if lifestyle aspects are affecting their sperm count.
The future of the human race depends on this!!!!!!

I didn't read the link, but there was an article on a similar topic in the paper at the weekend.
Some things that you can easily do to perhaps prevent your sperm count being lowered is to not use your laptop on your lap - the increased heat is bad for the little swimmers. Also, apparently, keeping your mobile phone in a front pocket is not a good idea.

How can I phrase it politely, the men's bits are designed to be outside the human body so that the body heat does not harm the sperm, and wearing tight underpants pushes the men's bits next the body and will be affected by the body heat.
