Daily Sex Helps Improve Fertility

mmmscience writes "While fertility studies lately seem to have been exclusively focused on in vitro fertilization [IVF], new data coming out of Australia may help with unaided successful conceptions. The study has found that men who have ejaculate daily produce sperm with less damaged DNA. While such actions decrease sperm concentration, it does increase motility, meaning healthier sperm have a better chance of making it all the way to the egg. Good news, as another report has found severe chromosome abnormalities in over 90% of IVF eggs, meaning artificial insemination is just now discovering a whole new field of problems."

    You can count my DNA will be *great*, as I wank at least 4 times a day.

    The problem, though, is that guys who don't get any and usually need to resort to those tactics are also less likely to be prime specimens. This would explain why the world seems to be getting dumber - those idiots who don't get any - when they *finally* do by some miracle, they have great chances of having stupid kids.

    "I think his learning difficulties are more my fault for not knowing how to teach him"

    Many people don't get taught properly when they're young. Then don't end up autistic. So I would suggest you get off your cross and accept his condition for what it is, not what you want it to be and pretend that in some way he might one day get better. He won't. Deal.
