With men, an immediate concern would be the damage towards reproductive organs and physiology, honestly. You guys are having much higher instances of testicular maladies at this point. In turn that could trickle down and affect other things as well.

Fertility is down also, but the way I see it a 40% lower sperm count doesn't prevent you from having kids but chemical castration does. So does homosexuality.

Not too much point in the 60% left when there's an issue with sperm quality, or the viability of the fetus while in utero. I found an article that I'm going through in patches. I'll post it here for you too.

Taking paracetamol under pregnancy mess up boys reproductive organs and make girls having early puberty

I wasn't aware of that, so thank you. I can't recall taking it often with either pregnancy, but I'm sure that I took some. Feels a bit damning. I did dig around a bit and find information on the use for adult males though as well for you.
