Do the Muslim migrants have this problem?

I assume they have it a bit worse so since inbreeding also lowers fertility. I just wish that lower fertility came hand in hand with loss of sex-drive as well.

Maybe you should start making children, Tyler.

I'm thinking about the industry practice of castrating male livestock.
We do not eat enough male animals like we used to.
Maybe some of us can do experiments here, say 6 months to 1 year of eating only male animals.

I'm suspecting a tradition of eating mature male animals by the Arabs... who do not eat pork and that most pigs are castrated.

Even chickens... commercial chicken are too young to have expressed male characteristics.

I just don't care. The humans are going to have to figure this out on their own. I've tried for years to help people, and they almost never listen. I only answer questions here because people seem so desperate.

I have eaten uncastrated raw wild game for years in large quantities and have not noticed any improvement in testosterone or whatever  by comparison to consumption of other raw meats.

The drastic fall in fertility is not (yet) the end of the world, but in a century or two......

It's easier to understand your future predictions when I realize that your goal isn't factual accuracy.

It is a bit absurd to question my claims when data shows  falling male fertility has been steadily declining  since 50 years ago, with some data showing evidence from 1900:-

Oh, I see, you thought by "end of the world", I meant that literally. Obviously not. It is, however, plausible to claim that average male infertility is likely to continue to  steadily increase in line with previous decades, given rising obesity rates, ever-increasing processing of foods etc., so that some problems(eg:- over half or more needing extra medical treatments to conceive) may well occur in a few centuries. Unless you have scientific evidence that sperm-counts are steadily rising everywhere?
