After 50 or so they do become slightly less potent, but plenty of men can make babies until they die.
Aside from the other things people already mentioned, certain medications can affect sperm count/quality as well, for example Depakote. Even then, most fertility problems are caused by couples where each person has a low fertility, but neither is infertile. Just try for a year or so and if you still don't have any results then go see a doctor. Sperm count tests are pretty cheap afaik.
Btw, there's a "trying to conceive" category on Yahoo Answers that this question would fit better into.

I have read that age does have an effect on the quality of the sperm, but I don't think you really have anything to worry about until after 30 or 35. He could ask his doctor for a more informed answer.

sure, i've got seen this ensue. i do no longer think of it extremely is extremely hassle-free yet i think of even neutered men can experience the testosterone from an un-neutered male and it could set off aggression. in many situations speaking, neutered men are much less aggressive with different men yet each and every now after which you run in the time of a neutered male that in the time of basic terms does pleased with different neutered men. in line with risk they're for sure extra dominant and nonetheless maintain sufficient of that instinct that an un-neutered male is seen as opposition. i don't comprehend why it happens yet i comprehend that it happens each and every so often. i do no longer think of that neutering motives extra desirable aggression, if that's what you're transforming into at, in basic terms that neutering does not consistently remedy aggression in the direction of different male canines.

The quality of a man's sperm does not deteriorate over time. With women, however, our eggs start to lose quality after age 30. That's why the older we become, the more likely we are to have babies born with genetic problems (Down's Syndrome, etc.)

I don;t think there is a certain time in life. It all depends on his body, etc... Just like some men will be fertile until they are 90, some men always will have a low sperm count.

Not really. As long as he wears ventilated underwear, no drugs, alcohol, and doesn't have testicular trauma, he should be fine.
