Obese men are more likely to be infertile than their slimmer peers, according to the first study to look at whether a man's weight influences a couple's fertility.
Every excess 10 kilograms may cut a man's fertility by 10 per cent, Dr Markku Sallmen of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health in Helsinki and colleagues at National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, write in the September issue of Epidemiology. Sallmen was a post-doc at NIEHS when he conducted the study.

Obese men are more likely to be infertile than their slimmer peers, according to the first study to look at whether a man's weight influences a couple's fertility. Fewer trips to the well, lower fertility. In other words, fat guys get less ... they had to fund a study to figure this out?

I'm sure the "Ooh Yuk!" factor applies to women equally.

Obesity at least makes fertility less of an issue, anyway. : ^ >

I lost 25lbs so far this year... and when I was 25lbs heavier I managed to procreate with the Mrs on the first try for both of our children...
That must must mean I'm now classified as a "Weapon of mass impregnation"..
look out ladies...

time to start sending chocolates to all our 'favorite' Democrats and their families! Why bother? They typically murder all the ones they conceive before they're born.

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
