R K Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 http://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/article/?id=12262 Young men who use cannabis may be putting their fertility at risk by inadvertently affecting the size and shape of their sperm according to research published today. In the world’s largest study to investigate how common lifestyle factors influence the size and shape of sperm (referred to as sperm morphology), a research team from the Universities of Sheffield and Manchester also found that sperm size and shape was worse in samples ejaculated in the summer months but was better in men who had abstained from sexual activity for more than six days. However, other common lifestyle factors reported by men, including smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol, appeared to have little effect.

SarahBell Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 So the longer its in there the better quality it is. Quite the opposite of what I would have thought. I wonder why. They've not been tested quality of the DNA which is what I think you're meaning. Just the shape of it. The important question is: do feral chavs who smoke weed become infertile? Cos that'd be useful. Right up until they get IVF funded on the NHS for the tax credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Masked Tulip Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 A chap I know, now early 50s, was, allegedly, a frequent user of the weed. He gave up about 18 months ago. In the coming weeks his 43 year old wife is about to give birth to their first child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTMark Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 A chap I know, now early 50s, was, allegedly, a frequent user of the weed. He gave up about 18 months ago. In the coming weeks his 43 year old wife is about to give birth to their first child. That story exactly mirrors an experience of someone I know very well. Tried for so long, gave up the weed, and girlfriend pregnant within a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habeas Domus Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 A chap I know, now early 50s, was, allegedly, a frequent user of the weed. He gave up about 18 months ago. In the coming weeks his 43 year old wife is about to give birth to their first child. I remember an interview with John Lennon where he said something similar, he and Yoko had been trying for quite a while with no success - they went to see some specialist who suggested laying off the drugs and alcohol for a while, 2 months later Yoko was pregnant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
