I haven t heard much more study or progress on why many men s sperm production has dropped so much over the last decades in the most highly developed nations, but does not seem to be dropping in men living in the less developed nations.

For years I wondered why the taste of semen was frequently said to have a slight chlorine taste to it. I'd never noticed it. I grew up in a place where most people had a well and didn't put chlorine in it.

Later I moved to a bigger city and there was chlorine in the water. Then I started to notice that both my and other's semen did have a slight chlorine smell to it. I started drinking only bottled water and my semen lost the chlorine smell.

About a year ago I read an article about a study that showed a correlation between chlorinated water and lower sperm count.

I have no idea why chlorine lowers sperm count, except it is logical that chlorine wouldn't help sperm count.

Unfortunately male-male offspring did not work out. Female-female was viable.
