Shattering the Myths About Male Infertility
[ Vol 6, Iss 4 ]
Published: November, 2001
In recent years, infertility has received increasing public attention. It is estimated that nearly 10 percent of all couples are infertile (i.e. unable to conceive after attempts to do so over a span of at least one year) and that one of every five couples between the ages of 35 and 44 has difficulty conceiving. This article examines some of the myths associated with male infertility and subfertility (reduced fertility) and identifies the role of the primary care physician in managing the condition.
MYTH 1. Infertility is rarely the man’s fault.
In fact, the male is a factor in up to 50 percent of infertile couples. In roughly 30 percent of the cases, the male alone accounts for the couples infertility and another 20 percent of the time the male is a contributing factor to the couple’s infertility.

It seems to me that there might be better ways to deal with this behavior. I don’t like it either. The mayer in Ft. Lauderdale has taken quite a beating over trying to stop it here.

Pretty much. Although if you have video I really don't care to see it.
Thanks. :)

Well, because I had nothing else to do & I was getting sick of the repetition I found this

Looks like oodles of things can go wrong on the male side of the issue.
Wow. Guess you are one of those guys who claims George Washington was not much of a man and perhaps gay?
I don't understand this. It's so strange to me.
I think it stinks like a carp laying out in the sun for a few days.
My husband, who was sure he was guilty, is listening to the tape on Greta right now and is screaming at the tv that this all seems like BS!
Your stats on infertility are bogus and ignorant. Look it up Dude. And his not having natural children does not imply a damned thing other than to a fool.
ANd you need to listen to the cop, one cop, tape. I think there is room to disagree with you.
how so?
It seems like a pretty complex set up, unless you take into account that perhaps everyone in the restroom (apart from craig) were law enforcement and no matter what stall craig chose, he would have been pinched. this is known in some circles as "the second shooter theory".
[That question has been answered ]
Not by you.
How about just the Cliffnotes version? Pllleeeeease.
Don't forget Rush Limbaugh.
He's in the same boat.
imho, the cops should have called a big supervisor to the scene and made it all go away on the spot. the cops do have discretion in cases like this one. should have let this guy go but let him go after a very long lecture that scared the daylights out of him.They have discretion but letting someone off because he is a US Senator while charging the others is an abuse of that discretion IMHO.
WHAT are you talking about?? WHY are you so offended?? All I said was when a couple cannot have kids, just about 100% of the time it is because the woman is infertile, she cannot produce eggs. What do you disagree with? Why is this offensive?
I have all these freepers cursing me out like I said the worst thing imaginable, like I support Al Qaeda or something, and it`s ridiculous!
I tried to explain why this is, yet I get all this hostility. How many times do I have to explain this? There is nothing offensive about it, it is natural human biology. Like I said, if a couple has all adopted kids it DOES NOT mean the husband is gay!!! BUT when it comes to Larry Craig, I find it a bit suspicious that his current wife has had THREE kids from another man while HE has had NONE!! This guy is SIXTY TWO YEARS OLD yet I can find NO former wife, nor girlfriend, nothing. DO you know what they call this in the gay community? His wife is called A BEARD and that`s exactly what is going on here. He is a hypocrite and should resign immediatly!!!
I’m in the same boat as you. And, my husband sure ain’t gay!
I agree. I had no idea about the “signals”. I’m female but from now on when I go into a public restroom I’m keeping my hands in my armpits & my ankles together at all times. Better safe than sorry. Of course that means I’ll have to flush as well as open & close the door with my elbow.
Golly, I hope that’s not some kind of “signal” or “code”.
Is that abcnews image photo shopped on an angle to make the stalls larger and the probability of feet touching less likely?
He said he did not put his left hand under the stall as the officer described. He said he did not put his foot over to tap the officers foot. He said that clearly all thru the interview.
There was no mention of signals. Listen to the tape.
