My background is in hiv, particularly in community work with vulnerable populations. Over the years, at share-net netherlands, work has shifted to focus more on sexual and reproductive health and rights (srhr) than hiv.
More recently, i noticed that work around gender was being equated to work with women and girls, so we started a community of practice at share-net around engaging men and boys. I wanted to write a paper that set out what men and boys’ srhr needs are. My co-author, odhrán mclaughlin, undertook a literature review to inform the work. What we wanted to find out was the evidence base for men and boys as potential beneficiaries in the srhr context; is there such a thing as sexual and reproductive health and rights for men and boys? the second objective was to encourage people working in this area to interrogate how they perceive men and boys.
Healthy sperm: Improving your fertility
Natural male reproduction depends on several things. You must be able to:
make healthy sperm that can fertilize the egg
have an erection and ejaculate so the sperm reaches the egg
problems
with either of these may mean you have infertility.
Below are some of the main causes of male infertility.
Chronic use of marijuana may greatly impact male fertility and reproductive outcomes, says a new report published online in the journal fertility & sterility. The study is the first to assess the impacts of substance use on testicular function via a mode of delivery, and dosage, that reflects current human consumption. Clinician-scientists at the oregon national primate research center at oregon health & science university, monitored the reproductive systems of healthy male nonhuman primates following exposure to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or thc — the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. The nonhuman primates, all of reproductive age with a history of proven paternity and no prior exposure to cannabis, received a thc edible once daily over the course of seven months.
