If We Can Make Sperm, What Good Are Men?
Have you ever dreamed of a world without men? Some scientists have hoped for years that someday, somehow, they'd create sperm without the mess and fuss of sex and men. Well, that day is near.
Should Mother Be Able to Preserve Son's Sperm?
A Texas judged ruled that a mother could preserve her deceased son's sperm. Nikolas Evans, 21, died last week after being attacked in Austin, and his mom, Marisa Evans, requested the sperm so she can fulfill her son's wish of having children. It is said that she will seek a surrogate at a later date.
Higher IQ Equals Better Sperm?
When looking for the right guy, I'm sure you have a list of traits he must possess, such as a good sense of humor, attractive appearance, subtle sensitivity, and an honest heart. A smart guy is a plus, too; intelligence goes a long way in my book, and as it turns out, sharp guys can not only help with your taxes, but they may also help in the baby-making department. Studies show a connection between high IQ and high quality sperm.
Need a Reason to Lose Weight?
If you need another reason to keep your weight down, especially this holiday season, use better sex as your motivator! As stated in the December issue of Glamour magazine, research shows that sustaining a healthy weight can actually boost sex drive and fertility in both men and women. Mary Jane Minkin, MD, explains that extra body fat makes extra estrogen which has the ability to hinder ovulation in women, and new research reveals that those excess pounds on men could damage their precious sperm.

Cell Phone Use May Affect Sperm
Many people think men have it a lot easier than women when it comes to making babies, but they have to do their part as well — especially when it comes to taking care of their sperm, since so many things can affect them. Eating soy may decrease their sperm count, spending too much time in hot tubs can also have the same effect (although temporarily), and now men have to worry about their cell phones. Yep, it's true.
What's the Connection Between Soy and Sperm Count?
With all this talk about meat and dairy products causing heart problems, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, more people are switching to alternative foods made with low fat, high protein soy. Tofu, soy milk, and fermented soy products such as tempeh, miso soup, and soy sauce are just a few, and so many people are adding them to their diets to be healthier. Some rumors have been spread that eating soy causes breast cancer, but right now the American Institute for Cancer Research says that there's no evidence that proves this theory.
What's the Deal With Dry Orgasms?
A while ago, I answered a question about a woman who was dating a guy who lost both of his testicles in a car accident. It wasn't clear if this man could have an erection or an orgasm, but that post brought up many questions about orgasms and how it's possible to have one if you don't have any semen.
Here's the deal.
You Asked: Why Aren't I Getting Pregnant?
Dear Sugar,
I have been with the same guy for five years and never once got pregnant and we have unprotected sex all the time. Why have I not gotten pregnant? I'm worried that I can't have kids, and if not, what do I do?
Hot Tubs and Sperm: What's the Connection?
I'm sure you've heard that men shouldn't hang out in hot tubs because it can affect their sperm. Is this true or a myth?
Earlier this year, a team of urologists at the University of California conducted a study to test this speculation.
