I'm half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be

If you're worrying about your testosterone levels, you're already too introspective to be a real man.

"The bottom line appears to be that the number of morphologically normal sperm produced by the average man had dropped below the level of those of a hamster, which has testicles a fraction the size of a man's"

Speak for yourself. Wait. Crap.

We need to eat more meat, stop drinking starbucks, kill something once a day, fark women every chance we get, stop caring what people think, start creating/destroying, and kill more. Thats the way of the man.

Funny, that was pretty much what your girlfriend told me, too, after she rolled over, her hair matted and damp as a bar-towel.

Crap, this IS scary. I was so upset after reading this article that I cried for a solid half hour. Then I made myself some chamomile tea and put on an Enya CD, and that made me feel a lot better.

I'm losing my hair so fast you would think it was going out of fashion. By the time I'm thirty I expect to be bald, so I guess there's nothing wrong with my testosterone level.

I pity you lesser men, but I envy your full, beautiful hair.

I just had a mental image of what my life would be like in 1940. Both of my kids were conceived on birth control. What would it be like if BC wasn't an option and my husband had twice the sperm he has now? Damn...

Oh hell, this again. The Danish study was a load of crap. Please read the following:
Peter Bromwich et al., "Decline in Sperm Counts: An Artifact of Changed Reference Range of 'Normal'?" British Medical Journal 309, no. 6946
Stephen Farrow, "Falling Sperm Quality: Fact or Fiction?" British Medical Journal, 309 no. 6946

The Danes eliminated data from the early years from men with low counts, changing the averages. That's on top of the fact that their sample sizes were too small for valid statistics. The National Academy of Science published a large study on this topic and concluded that, while the concern was valid, there was no real data to suggest that endocrine disrupters were seriously affecting humans. In English, that means that smitty is a tool.

 
peacefulwarrior 2007-01-28 08:19:55 PM  
Some scientists think, I shiat you not, that this is the result of estrogen in the drinking water, which comes in turn from women peeing into the water supply.

This might have been mentioned in TFA, but I didn't RTFA because I was too excited to post this, wanting to make it look like not only had I RTFA, but that I had a deeper understanding of it than any of you miserable farkers had.

I think it's working!

-I'm sure this is part of the Earth's natural biological cycle and has nothing to do with so-called 'pollution' (economic growth vapors) or hormones in the food supply (freedom enhancers) or any of that lefty-econut junk science nonsense. (reality)...

 
dumpstergirl 2007-01-28 08:21:51 PM  
You know, hormones balances are best generated by healthy bodies with healthy diets. So, put down the McDonalds, step away from the computer, and get some god damned exercise. Once you get used to running trails a few times a week you'll start to really appreciate having a well-functioning body.

And fix some good food, not all that processed crap. No wonder your hormones are all messed up.

 
j0ndas 2007-01-28 08:22:28 PM  
America is being feminized. The most masculine men, who naturally have the most testerone and probably highest sperm count as well, are no longer as attractive to women - it's the "sensitive" men who supposedly are the big thing now. And even the women who want a masculine man don't generally want to have more than 2 or 3 children, thus limiting the man's reproductive abilities.

That having been said, how many sperm do you really need to fertilize one egg? Dad and Mom had 9 children, all single births, and I doubt it was because of his godlike sperm powers.

Not if we let emos and feminists have their way...

The sad fact is, I see more and more men in touch with there feminine side.

Just a hint: BODY LANGUAGE, ATTITUDE, Dress Sense, Food Taste, Job & Hobbies have influence.

I call shenanigans. Women have been "peeing into the water supply" since the dawn of humanity. If anything, we have been getting better at keeping our "products" out of our drinking water. Perhaps it has more to do with synthetic chemicals that mimic estrogen?

 
ChubbyTiger 2007-01-28 08:30:38 PM

What you said.

j0ndas The number of women I've known who didn't like men with body hair is amazing. I know that some nationalities don't have much, but most American men definitely have some. Some of them were definitely looking for another woman, but with a dick. We're men, damnit, let us look and act like it.

/Now, what did I do with my Hair soundtrack?

 
girlfriend in a coma 2007-01-28 08:30:53 PM  
could it be that more women are waiting longer to get knocked up?

and then they can't so they make their husbands get sperm count tests?

and so more men are getting sperm counts than they used to?

so now we are just obtaining a more accurate number than was previously established?

/loved Freakonomics.

peacefulwarrior: Some scientists think, I shiat you not, that this is the result of estrogen in the drinking water, which comes in turn from women peeing into the water supply.

Uhm.... wouldn't we women be getting "masculinized" from the testosterone due to men peeing in the water supply?

 
FukkyMcFuk 2007-01-28 08:33:59 PM  
How ignorant can you shiatwads be?

You may laugh about it now and make jokes about eating red meat, but environmental estrogens will have the last laugh when your sons are born with cubic centimeter-sized testes, and go through a half-puberty in which they put on boobs instead of beards.

It's a serious problem and you'd all do better to wise up.

I think he was referring to the amount of syntheic hormones in birth control that is being pissed out. There have been studies on this, "Peed put birth-control hormones affect lake fish" or something. PubMed has it I'm sure.

 
a large angry dinosaur 2007-01-28 08:35:56 PM  
I think women feel the same way about body hair as men do about women's pubic hair - they don't really mind it, but they secretly would prefer if there was none.
