In ten years our sperm count could drop below a level that makes it difficult to conceive. The reasons are: Pesticides, Coatings on Cookware, Poor Diet, Diabetes, Lack of Exercise, Stress and a whole myriad of other things that contribute. Modern living is becoming a threat to our survival, putting aside global warming etc. This is on top of lifestyles, like in Japan as an example, that people are choosing to have less or no children.

It is however not as difficult to fix as global warming.

While having a much reduced population overall is a good thing to help curb our emissions regarding global warming, it is still something we need to address.

    I read a similar warning decades ago - but we're still popping out little humans. Fewer of the species would be bad...how?


    I will say from the feminine perspective, many 20-30 yr old men I see today appear increasingly androgynous so maybe bbc is on to something. I just thought they were wussies but maybe that is the lack of testosterone......

      And the lack of activities that boost testosterone production.

      The decades old view of this was that the sperm count had been dropping over time, if it drops below a certain point (which it is approaching now) then popping out babies will become more difficult. There appears to be a fall in Testosterone in men too which may fuel some gender identity and less sex drive although I have no info on that.

      I am all for less Humans on the planet, but not because we are unable to reproduce due to low sperm count.

        Sperm count don't matter if woman are on birth control and men's don't have the desire options to reproduce men who are not economically good prospects for woman most likely have lower sperm counts if they are not highly attractive to woman

    This is a very ambiguous and broad question, this applies not only to men but also to women. The environment and lifestyle greatly affects a woman's health and her desire to have children. So this is a complex problem

      It's the same kind of problem faced if people star saving money and paying of debts . Or the obesity rate start to go down and people eat less food and require less medication

      Anything that is good for the future but leads to lower economic growth is a problem

      We do not need to reform capitalism. We need a new economic system that is not base on permanent growth

    Seems I misread this as How Modern Life Is Making Men Infantile.

    Which made me kinda wondah what modernity had gowin' to so monopolise a yooniversal truth.

    Way I read history, this been happnin' forevah.

    Meantime, we srsly gotta figure the balance between taint as sin an' value undiminished by circumstance or wholesale messin' stuff up.

    Sadly, we lack the figures 'bout the reproductive powahs of them cave-dwellin' thugs seen their way thru to improbable tamara.

    But neithah would we wish to don their underweah.

    For now, I got no desiah to have babies poppin' outta Moi.

    It is bad enough I cruise the store for essentials with muh regulah crazed swagger, but if'n I gotta watch for spontaneously droppin' offspring in the discount pizza aisle, my reputation as a Deranged Harridan In The Hood will know no bounds.

    (As I undahstand it, when babies are on the way thru, there is zilcho opportoonity for bounds. You eithah layin' down, trussed in a protective hammock, swimmin' all jellyfish, or so whammied out on killah drugs you don't distinguish consonants from vowels again till your 5yo kid says hey mommy look what I learned in school.)
