Declining Sperm Count may be a Myth

Here you go: a meta analysis of 61 primary studies

Basically there is a severe decline in the US but ambiguous results elsewhere.

Edit: The author of your article, Harry Fisch, is a urologist who specialises in vasectomy reversals. I'd place more weight in it if it was written by someone who doesn't have a financial stake in men remaining/believing they are fertile. Also if it was an actual study or analysis rather than an opinion piece in the shape of an article.

It's from 10 years ago...

It is clear the decline in fertility in the forst world but unclear in the third world. What is news here?

Do you understand why? Because in the third world there is not much resources to make a statistical significant result.

And lets not forget the hardships in the third world some years ago. Now I can eat enough protein, vitamins and minerals every day to produce enough sperm. My grandfather just couldn't, his only meat would be anything he could hunt at the weekends and he probably had a zinc deficiency for most of his life.

How do you expect men with such deficiencies to produce the highest amount possible? See the problem?

People are concerned about this so much because there is still an idea heavily ingrained in western culture that men have to be amazing, top of their game, whatever term you wish to describe it, and so people get offended when they see men declining in various ways. The same people who complain about "modern men" and how they aren't good enough are also the same people who insist that women in the west are victims and that society expects nothing out of men. Anyways, I have figured it out. Go through a list of your own vices and see if you can do without them for a while. If you go without them for a while and you feel better overall but still rough, then congrats, you're making progress. My list of vices and what I need to do to feel better is unique, like every other man's. So it's a process of self-reflection and trial and error, experimentation and struggle. And even though I've come an incredibly long way, I still have my moments of sloth. It's not that hard to do basic physical exercises. If you cut down your moments of sloth-like behavior you can use that time for more exercise.

The testosterone thing is iffy. The claims about it dropping and having a recent and noticeable effect on western men's bone structure and biology are clearly silly to me, as fit men who eat well today are just as masculine and healthy looking as a fit male from 50+ years ago. It's not like all Gen Z boys now have anime eyes and can't grow facial hair or something
