Is there a male biological clock?

Question

What happens and when?

Answer 1

Yes. Studies have also shown the older the man, the more chances of having deformed sperm and other abnormalities.

Answer 2

In a way, yes. Studies show that after the age of 50 in men (35 in women), the sperm quality goes down. However, men's sperm is always able to ferlitlize an egg, at any age. In women, once they reach the age of 35, they become a 'high risk pregnancy' if they become pregnant, because their age increases risks for birth defects, etc. Once they reach about 50, they go through menopause which means that they stop ovulating and cannot have children any more. Men dont ovulate and go through menopause. A man's sperm will always be there and able to fertilze an egg, (even at the age of 100, but i dont think any man that age will be having children). But after the age of 50, the sperm become weaker. The chances for defects, like Down Syndrome, increases. If a man over the age of 50 is wanting to have children, it is advised that he have genetic couseling done. His sperm will be tested for its quality, and the chances of having a child with a birth defect. He will still be able to have an erection, etc. Some men do have a harder time having an erection past the age of 50, but they make medicines for that, and his sperm is still able to fertilzer an egg.
