Should sperm tests be generaly avalable?

Question

Male fertility is falling and about 1 in 10 young men now has a problem.

As a sperm test is so easy and non invasive would it be a good idea for every young man to check this before he gets married or even serious with a girl? I did this in 1968 luckily with a good result and also now have children

Answer 1

Yes sperm should be tried and tested regular for quality and amount, applicants should bring their own books when attending the clinic, you will be left in a closed room with video camera's running and we use egg timers, clinics should offer incentive schemes for those who provide good samples.

Don't be so daft wanting that stuff tested, wait till you get married and ask your wife to test it.  

Answer 2

hi. i'm female so my opinion may not count but yes i do agree that it is a good idea to get checked out but i don't think it's necessary to check they are fertile if they want to get married or have a serious relationship. it shouldn't make a difference to the way they see each other and should only become a problem if they are trying to have kids. i agree that they should be available and that it does look as if it is a rising problem so everyone should have access to tests but if you advertise that so many men are infertile and some find out that they are through these tests they may no longer see the need to use a condom or another form of contraception and therefore lead to an increase of STDs and STIs .  that's my opinion, may not be relative but i think a lot of people will agree with me. that yes it is important for these tests to be available but they could lead to other problems and i don't agree for you're reasons to having them as if u loved your partner and wanted kids that badly you would adopt or have IVF treatment.  

Answer 3

A mans sperm count would not put me off marrying him anyway.

Answer 4

yes it's a good idea some ladies have a inbuilt maternal thing so if there man was a jaffa it would cause a lot of stress and probably break up of the marriage
