Your claim is false. And actually has nothing to do with testosterone anyway.
"A review of the data amassed to date on this issue clearly demonstrates that the bulk of the evidence refutes claims for a widespread decline in semen parameters".
The fact is bitter feminist cunts spread this kind of nonsense just to take yet another jab at men, which is what y'all live for after all. If anything, the levels of testosterone in the world are higher today than ever simply due to the excessive levels in bull dikes like yourself.
The paper only talks about worldwide decline, while actually states its a highly local phenomenon. This means that its still possible for semen quality to decline over time, just not locally.
The Impact of lifestyles , Males BMI levels Males have poor diets , Males working long hours don't eat right , drink lots of coffee and caffeinated beverages with sugar. Lot Males are developing Diabetes that lowers T levels www.healio.com/.../generational-decline-in-testosterone-levels-observed
The amount of oestrogen in the water could have an influence (caused by things such as more women taking the pill, and they pee this out which goes in to the water we end up drinking). There are turtles that are now mostly born female because of this. I have read about this.
I think its because pre-marital sex has become socially acceptable and people are exposed to porn at a young age and our children are losing their innocence and our woman are getting fatter.
It would increase to a certain level and level off. When you had an excess of testosterone some will be secreted via sweat and wet dreams are the bodies way of eliminating excess testosterone as well.
@Exterminatore I’m sorry to jump into this convo but you’re mistaken. Ejaculation in itself does not decrease testosterone. The only case where the decrease is true is when you dampen your interest in sex by over-relying on masturbating. Disinterest in being physical with women gets communicated by your behavior, and a habit of too-frequent masturbation can lead to reduced testosterone.
@Exterminatore Is there a reason you linked all these boxing articles? including this excerpt... ..."“Another popular myth is that having sex in the days leading up to a sporting event or contest is detrimental to performance. Numerous studies have shown that there is no physiological basis to this myth. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that sex during the 24 hours prior to sports activity can elevate the levels of testosterone in males, which potentially could enhance their performance.” You could have more easily said you were incorrect in you assumption that ejaculation reduces testosterone and move on.
The statistics you posted here are true to a certain extent.
Everyone has both testosterone and estrogen. Women are simply higher in estrogen and men are higher in testosterone. These two hormones are always a trade-off. More estrogen usually means less testosterone. There are several aspects of our diet that influence the increase of estrogen in men. -BPA in plastics. Microwaving food in plastic containers or drinking out of plastic water bottles can increase estrogen levels. When our body receives BPA that was leeched into our body through our water bottle or our food it promotes the production of the hormone. -SOY. There was a study done a while ago that argued that soy worked similarly to BPA. That study has been debunked, but there is a chance that an increased soy intake will still trigger estrogen production. Its not like BPA in the sense that its effects vary from person to person. -Obesity. Just a lack of exercise, fast food, will lead to lower testosterone levels in men. -Alcohol. Will also increase estrogen levels. -
Because the feminization of western civilization and men in general is killing off the last bits of masculinity left.
I am both joking and making a statement I’m serious about in saying that, however I do wonder is the pussification and feminization of the American male does have any actual effect on testosterone.
Supply vs. demand, we live in a society where testosterone isn't as beneficial as it use to be, I mean we haven't had any major wars in a long time, the world is more peaceful than ever, resources are abundant (for the time being) and jobs aren't as labor intensive anymore. The demand for testosterone filled men has decreased so less supply is needed, and men with less testosterone will be more complacent working a desk job peacefully and similar non-competitive peacetime activities, it's a form of artificial selection.
That chart is wrong, or at least very misleading. It only affects parts of the world, and is not nearly as extreme as that chart implies.
Nobody knows the reason. It is all guesswork.
There is even a possibility it's a natural means of population control since humans have vastly over populated the world. Nature has some complex mechanisms in place.
1) Artificial estrogens in our food supply, mostly from plastics.
2) People being fatter, fat increases estrogen
3) Less active life styles, physical activity increases test, while sitting on your balls all day lowers it.
4) More hot bath's and showers, people used to only bath 1 week or less, now plenty of people have a hot shower at least 1/day often even 2/day or more.
I dont want to explain in full detail but it’s The food we eat. InworkI d at a fertility clinic and recommended for men to quit drinking milk (hormones are bad) and eating corn (gmos are bed) and surprise enough with in 8 months most all of them got their wives pregnant.
Yea milk is just one thing of many even drinking soy. The best type of milf to drink would be coconut milk or almond milk depending on your digestive system and blood type. But for sure corn. Those are the only things on the list just the two main ones
Correlation doesn't equal causation... but notice the reduction of recess in schools, and expectations to be or act more effeminate.
It's why I push dudes that have 'man issues' like not being able to get laid, to workout. It's a missing element in a boy's life and remains one in a man's life unless he makes time to get the recesses he never received.
Estrogen not being filtered out of drinking water. This correlates with a rise in use of birth control. It's not filtered from drinking water by municipalities and it causes this. Just like how magnesium based buffer salts are responsible for increased levels of acid reflux.
I've read that some researchers are concerned that endocrine disrupting chemicals are causing this and the lower sperm counts in men. (And also contributing to age of girls' first periods dropping lower and lower.) These chemicals are man-made and are in all kinds of consumer products and things like herbicides.
Probably is environmental (the chemicals we eat and drink nowadays and less likely but also possible what we breath) or/and behavioral (sedentary lifestyle, bad diet and lack of exercise, very fast pace of life, stress and anxiety...)
Estrogen is everywhere and in our foods as well so it might be difficult to avoid consuming.
One thing women do is birth control which shoots them full of estrogen so possibly when they do eventually carry a boy in the future, the boy could be affected.
Smaller families and fewer babies, males are less firtile than they have been historically if this info is correct... But I've never heard this before. Quite interesting and hard to believe. However, considering the significant absence of physical labor in most jobs these days it makes sense to me.
@UncleJessieRabbit Sorry, it was sarcastic. No, I don't. I believe it's a ludicrous assumption. Not unbased, but uncoroborated by science. And I just feel like it's a convenient excuse for men who don't actually WANT to be masculine, just wanna point a finger to others.
Because of the pussification that's being taught to kids these days... Its disgusting the shit you see these days... like now if 2 millennial twats at a bar get into an argument they will literally say " oh yeah well I'll call the cops and you'll go to jail" ... I've seen that shit to many times... gone are the days of smacking someone in their shit talking mouth
Evolution! It's less necessary in the 21st century. We're not constantly focused on surviving anymore. As for sperm, we're having less kids and it's getting easier, so a high sperm count is not as important.

Honestly I don’t know. I have high testosterone.
But I also shop exclusively at Whole Foods for most of my foods, and I eat a healthy diet without dairy and the vast majority of foods I eat are non-gmo.
I also frequently exercise and working out is a hobby of mine.
The graph is percentage of sperm with normal morphology over time. While this may be related to testosterone levels, it is not actually a measure of testosterone. In other words, the data shown here does not support your hypothesis.
Because boys are being tought to act more like girls and masculinity is being attacked and called toxic its obvious if you pay attention

Everything is wrapped in plastic these days and all plastics release eostrogen which is absorbed into your food and drink resulting in your body absorbing it and creating many illnesses.
Partially because of soy used in food. Soy is a phytoestrogen which mimics estrogen in the body when consumed. This in turn lowers testosterone. All processed food has some form of soy in it.
It is highly correlated with increased overweight and obesity percentages world wide. The male population is also older. People fap a lot more. A lot of the data is bullshit.
Because the liberals are turning liberal males into beta males so the body naturally decreases their testosterone the more of a pussy they become the more they lose it is a scientific fact look it up
Because people took toxic masculinity too far. It was supposed to reduce harsh expectations placed on men but now it seems to show the whole of masculinity as a wrong thing.
I feel like you need to actively maintain testosterone levels these days. I do it by workout out, not masturbating anymore, and wearing boxers. I think people who don't think about these things don't get enough of it.
Being fat. Not exercising. And lastly is feeling masculine. The more manly you act the more you will act manly. I assume this influences testosterone in some way. Now we got all these soy boys. Lol
Because men are not doing their jobs anymore. They are supposed to protect women and provide everything for women. Yet guys of this generation are not doing it.
