It'd be pretty lame to be born with indeterminate genitalia on account of your mom having purchased the wrong brand of shampoo.

Did you know that the Y-chromosome is gradually getting smaller? Some biologists have speculated that it will eventually disappear altogether.



It's worse than that. The thing is a turd. Only 25% of it genes are active. The other 75% has up to 10 exact copies of the same useless genes. It's 1/3 the size of the female X chromosome. It is disappearing. You are correct. Scientists' are already finding spcies of fish that were once sexual reproducing species and are now reproducing asexually, eliminating the need for male sperm.

One problem though. In humans, the male Y turd has the SRY gene. This is the sex determining region of said chromosome. With out this gene, the sex of human offspring can not exist, thus offspring would be imposssible.


That sounds like a genetic apocalypse. Maybe, someone should make a movie about it called 2,000,012 AD. Laughing

I don't know why you are laughing. With a screen name Konglishman, I would assume you were handed a decrepid sex chromosome!!

Obviously, I am making fun of the movie 2012. I suppose that if the Y-chromosome ever does disappear, it is going be so far away in the future that it does not really bother me.

One reason for the low sperm counts is all the hormones in the water. Women take birth control, in the body and then out the body, water is recycled, the hormones stay in the water, men drink the water.... and bam, low sperm counts.


Hmmm? I'm not sure how closely related hormones and sperm count are. I'm not a biologist.

But the documentary says that the chemicals in plastic act as hormone disrupters in males actually blocking the development of the male sex organs internal and external.

But what you're saying makes sense to me because if men today have half the sperm count of our father's generation, well, when did women begin taking birth control pills en mass? In the early 70's. So, the timing supports what you say.

Thanks for your post.


Ya, the documentary about the plastic is something different, I just thought I would bring up the other study since it relates.

This really amused me, hahaha.

I guess we women then really have to accuse men who take viagra of giving our middle finger a boner very often. Laughing Laughing Laughing


LOL, I like the way you think.....

They said the same thing about redheads, but we're still here. And we always will be. For ever and ever and ever...

But seriously: This is an excellent case for inventing a time machine. Good bye diminishing returns of the present, hello indeterminate semi-females of the future! Cool

Apologies for the crass speculations but I wonder if our honourable forefathers shot a more voluminous load, or if perhaps it was denser, more viscous. I guess that's one more advantage to chalk up to pre-modern life: yeah they were poor and only lived for 30 years, but man could they shoot a load.

Nice!! You could have un-crassed it by using voluminous ejaculation an dispense a sample. This makes it all the more legitimate.

Also, the force of the ejaculate was probably much greater.
