Yes, male fertility does decline with age. Not as precipitously as a woman's, but sperm does decline in quality, and pregnancies where the father is older may also result in more miscarriages and genetic problems. There are recent studies that show that older fathers may help explain the rise in autism.

If you can maintain an erection and your sperm count is still good, you shouldn't have a problem impregnating a woman.
