I collected beer cans when I was a child. I spent a great deal of time on different farms junk piles searching for beer cans. In 77 I found a red cap cone top beer can.would have been a five hundred dollar can in better condition. I traded it for complete tops 67 and 68 baseball cards full series. Lol, I made some money on that find

Even if the count were more than needed what difference would it make, for most of the time the guys end up trapped in the wrong orifice. What are you gonna do?Men's sperm counts have more than halved over the past 50 years, with potentially drastic consequences for the future of the human race.
About one in six adults worldwide experience infertility at some point, according to the World Health Organization, and between 30% and 50% of cases are linked to problems with the quantity and quality of semen, said New Scientist. Either the total number of sperm is too low, or the cells "struggle to swim" (reduced motility), which decreases the chance of reaching an egg cell.
The big question is no longer "whether this so-called 'spermageddon' is happening", said science writer David Robson, "but why, and what to do about it".

What is 'spermageddon'?
The "drastic shift" in sperm counts has been documented since the 1970s, but by the 1990s "the issue started catching considerably more scientific attention", said Robson.
In 2017, veteran reproductive epidemiologist Shanna Swan and her team at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, published a meta-analysis of 185 studies of more than 42,000 men between 1973 and 2011: "the largest of its kind", said Robson.
The results showed that the concentration of sperm in a millilitre of semen, and the total number of sperm in the sample, seemed to have decreased by 50%-60% in men from North America, Europe and Australasia. "If the decline continued at this rate, the median sperm count would reach zero by the mid-2040s," said Robson.
When you sit around and don't use it and it gets "rusty". Half as effective? Just double the frequency.
Blah, total sperm cells per ejaculation is what matters, back in the day I had enough to repopulate the Earth, Mars, and the rest of the solar system.

That's a partial solution. . . if it were just plastics in the food chain, this problem might be easier to solve.
. . . but all stages of Big Ag providing mass quantities of cheap food are the problem. There are other well known sources beyond just food production I believe.
I would not be at all surprised, that the use of Perchlorates & PFAS might be one of the reasons we have so many former military turn trans/gay, in far greater numbers than the average population.

Have to agree that it’s likely my count is half of what it was in the 1970sMen's sperm counts have more than halved over the past 50 years, with potentially drastic consequences for the future of the human race.

I agree it’s a scam, but how does it lower sperm count?

That's why we love Catholics. Many families in my parish have produced four, to twelve children!
I love to hear them all in Sunday Mass, praising the Lord with their little voices!

Thus the need for large families. The reality was that some didn't survive the depression.
I vividly remember collecting glass pop bottles for deposit return.
When I have the option, I choose glass packaging over plastic, every time.
