The Myth of the Perpetually Fertile Male

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

“Of course HE can become a dad at any age!  But for a woman, it’s different!”

How many times have we heard that phrase repeated by people who are discussing the whole parenting issue of males versus females?  But it perpetuates a myth that male fertility is something that doesn’t change over time and isn’t a concern.

The truth of the matter is that between 30-40% of all fertility problems in couples is due to male infertility, not female infertility.  It’s a fact that surprises a lot of men… and women.

The next time you hear someone talking about the notion that men are somehow immune to fertility issues, you might want to interject the aforementioned statistic.  Hopefully, that will help educate people into realizing that fertility isn’t a one-gender concern.

  • Fertility isn’t “420 Friendly”

    The phrase “420 friendly” is often used to denote people and websites that are open to the casual use of marijuana (cannabis).  However, for those couples trying to conceive, it’s a good idea to halt any drug use, including that of marijuana.

    Many studies have made a connection between marijuana use and subsequent male and female infertility issues.  Although some pro-marijuana groups feel that the evidence should be challenged, the medical community generally feels that results of studies are strong enough to support the notion that anyone who wants to have  a child should halt all use of marijuana.
