When it comes to fertility, the focus tends to fall on women and their (loudly ticking) biological clocks. Yet it’s not just women who have to take age into account when considering when to have children. Experts agree that men's fertility also depends on their age.
According to Dr. Jane L. Frederick, a reproductive endocrinologist, women get most of the attention because they have a finite number of eggs at birth and must contend with changes in egg quantity and quality starting at age 35.
“Women play an obvious role in reproduction, leading us to believe that the topics of fertility, pregnancy and childbirth are women’s issues, void of male involvement after they provided sperm,” she explains. “However, older men over the age of 45 are much more likely to have children than four decades ago, and yet few men recognize their biological clock is ticking as well.”

Whut?
Blood vessels aren’t the only thing these clot shots are designed to block!

“male involvement after they provided sperm”
Certainly factual, but I don’t think putting it like that will put her in the mood. Jane must be a lot of fun.
Sure men may father children in old age. And women over 50 may get pregnant.
Neither is very likely.
The only biological clock that matters for males at this time is... a binary clock... 1’s and 0’s... did you get the shot... if you did you are either shooting blanks now, or passing on mNRA genetic mutations... so... there is that little item that needs to be addressed before we worry about any other clocks.

37/m here and I’d rather have my testicles cut off than have a kid.
Worry about age? Life’s too short.
Why is that? Isn’t it natural?
Steve Martin had his first child at age 67.
Pablo Picasso fathered his youngest child at the age of 68.
Rod Stewart fathered his eighth child with wife Penny Lancaster when he was 66.
George Lucas added a new jedi to his clan at the age of 69.
James Doohan (Scotty) had his youngest child when the actor was 80 years old.
Charlie Chaplin was 73 when he fathered his son Christopher.
Anthony Quinn fathered his youngest child at the age of 81.
Richard Gere fathered his first child at the age of 69.
I don’t think a woman could do what any of these men did.
What about Tony Randall?
And when you become old and alone, your FR screen name will be an apt description of your life.
Here’s an article about Tony’s virility.

Men may not have biological clocks, but they damn sure have prostrate glands that go bad. When they go bad everything else heads south with them.
I worked with a guy whose dad was 75 when he was born! There wasn’t much rough housing or ball playing when he was a kid.
When I was growing up, some dads in the neighborhood didn’t play with their kids and they were much younger than 75.
Sad, when you think about it.
Rethink. Those were the best years of my life.
Its the best thing you can do, ever.
Yup. Nope. Not nearly the same thing for guys, totally different ballparks.
Gynomedia yet again trying to equate the unequal. Trying to make women feel better and make men concerned about nada.
