Biological Clock Stops For Men Too at Age 35 (Feminazi wishful thinking alert)

Sorry feminists, but some differences between men and women are just tough. We can't all be "the same". On the bright side though, you ladies outlive us by a fair stretch and you are generally a lot easier on the eyes.

I would like to have seen my great-great grandpa's reaction to this.....24 children later...the last one at age 74.

the ticking of the biological clock is as important for fertility in men as it is in women.

Why read any further? Plenty of men have fathered children after the age of 70 (or 80 probably). But a woman never has. This so-called writer is using the term "as important" in a mighty loose fashion.

The sperm of the older men were also less vigorous swimmers.

So are the older men less vigorous swimmers, except 'ole Ted.

I'm 39 and male. I volunteer to check my fertility with any woman, any time. LOL.

[Wolfie]

Not buyin' it - Every time I turn around, some geezer is knockin' up his new young trophy wife.

[arkfreepdom]

They need to tell this to my 3 children I fathered after I turned 40. :)

[wardaddy]

I thought it was just a stab myself.

LOL

Tony Curtis became a father at the age of 70. His wife was around 30-35. That's the answer, gentlemen. Woo-woo!

[wardaddy]

That would be very "rigorous" volunteer work.

My grandfather fathered 16 - two with his first wife and fourteen with my grandma.
I think he was 61 when my youngest uncle was born.

"The older the bull, the sharper the horns", I suppose. :)

I have 2 more myself so far in my 40s. My tadpoles may be a might slow but they have sure aim.

So far??....I better be careful...my wife reads my posts. I could be a candidate for a midnight emergency vasectomy...shudder.

[PetroniDE]

I consider it a service to mankind.

My wife and I were talking about this with her OB yesterday morning. He said that before WWII, that 1% of women died in childbirth..and it was much higher back in the mid 1800s..hence my great great grandpa's 3 wives...sadly for them.

I just turned 37. Thank you, for giving me hope!

[Billthedrill]

Well, I dunno - Dad was 32 when he sired the first of five kids, and that one was by far the best. I mean by a lot. Really, really the best. We're talking brains, beauty, talent, personal hygiene...and man, did it ever go downhill from there...

(My baby sister sometimes lurks FR. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!)

[vollmond]

Was that Tony Curtis or Tony Randall? I believe Strom Thurmond was a father at an advanced age, too.

[Dick Vomer]

Uh huh.... ahhh yep... OK.... now let's see... 2 kids before 35.... two kids after 35.....

I guess I'm a FREAK .....
yeah a super freak.... he he he heeeey!!!!!!
I'm super Freaky... yeowww!

[AbnSarge]

heck, my grandfather didn't get STARTED until he was 60
(that late-starting Irish thing)

Yeah, and if you spent 40 years living in the Playboy Mansion, you'd have a pretty high sperm-count too.
