Between 1973 and 2018, or in 45 years, the sperm number in a millilitre of sperm of an average male dropped from 101 million to 49 million. In another statistic, in 1930 it was 150 million.
I do not believe that this data is reliable due to the fact that the measurement is hard and alternatively concerns those who treat themselves to infertility. But that is not the point. The essence is that from year to year sperm is becoming little and little motivating.
So possibly our hopelessly tiny childhood is not simply due to the fact that we like to have a advanced standard of living, that we fear for the future of the planet, that we fear for the invasion of Russia, but due to the prosaic fact that more and more men simply cannot have children.
And why is that sperm number falling?
The most suspicious are the various chemicals with which we interact, but it is worth that scientists take this subject seriously.
