Something in the water?

yeah, I know —I was on my phone posting and if I went away from the site to go do a spelling search, I would have lost my post. And the FR spell checker came up snake eyes for me.....oh well, I figured someone from here would correct me —it’s all part of being “family” :-)

It’s “phyto” ... from Greek, relating to plants.

Our precious bodily fluids.

No problem. I got this covered. Move along.

I’ve read that people in the Oriental world use more natural means to process soy-not all the chemicals we use- nor do they process the soybeans to super-concentrate them as we do here.

A couple of weeks ago, I went grocery shopping with T5’sguy to get the stuff to make a salad topped with some kind of sea food for dinner, because neither of us wanted hot food on a hot day. He picked up a package of that fake crab meat stuff, and we both read the label-the 1st ingredient in it said fish-the 2nd was-soy protein-I imagine an awful lot of people buy that product because of the price and convenience of it, never reading the label. We bought fresh shrimp instead at 3x the price and that is okay...

I had my vasectomy done in 1993 and they’re just now noticing? LOL

Very disappointed in FReepers.

Almost none of the replies are funny!?

As Cosmo Kramer would say “my boys can breathe Jerry!”

“But that was over 34 years ago”

Maybe you should do some testing with your wife just to be you are still OK.

[samtheman]

good one

[alternatives?]

“volume of women taking prescription birth control pills.”

Do you think women would give up birth control pills to save male sperms?

[OpusatFR]

Another study.

Another opinion.

Another piece of suspect information.

[Political Junkie Too]

I think I found the problem...

Maybe it’s completely geographical. Our church supports many “western” missionaries who serve on foreign fields. They’re putting out five to eight kids pretty much across the board.

Actually, with a 50% drop in sperm, you probably have somewhere between 200 and 90 million swimmers per shot. Theoretically, you could impregnate every fertile woman in America every time.
