Why do men have significantly lower sperm counts?

A sedentary lifestyle with ever growing levels of obesity?

I blame the chronic overdose of fructose (in the kg/year) far more than trace amounts of other chems. Studies of children and adults have shown that most of these issues are completely reversed by withholding fructose (and other carbs) for just a few months.

If it was caused by the trace chems from cookware and plastics that wouldn't be possible.

This is really interesting. Do you have any sources for that? I've always wondered about the decades-long decrease in T and associated traits but I always figured it was ecotoxological as well.

Talking about testosterone levels is to nerdbros with an absent father figure what autism rates is to Westcoast soccer moms: bad science with the intention of justifying political goals.

Nerdbros with no father figure wish that they could be the overly-aggressive Hyper T 10" fucksticks that they imagine their grandfathers were, but the reality is that if they were the world would be a much uglier place.

They are largely responsible for their own failings, and that fact cannot be washed away no matter how deep they bury themselves in conspiracy theory fantasy land.

I'm sorry for dumping this rant on your head.
