Sperm counts keep dropping, and it very well may be due to chemicals that mess with our hormones and genetics.
I don’t know why it isn’t talked about more. There has been a significant drop and at the current rate it won’t be too long until the average man is considered essentially infertile.
I remember becoming very concerned by the idea that microplastics are behind decreasing sperm counts. But by Occam’s razor, I think it’s much more reasonable to assume that lack of exercise, poor diet, not enough sleep and sunlight, and high levels of stress are the bigger culprits.
Maybe it will be self correcting in the end, if sperm counts drop enough to make a dent in population numbers, which is where a lot of the problem ultimately lies.
