This alarming trend has far-reaching implications for human health and reproduction, raising questions about the future of fertility and the potential consequences for individuals, families, and society as a whole.

so fucking cursed why am I posting this

Is sperm the part of semen that has the protein, if it does?? Is it just weird nothing goo nutritionally otherwise?

The part without the sperm is called seminal plasma, and its contents are the following (just remove the testes' contribution since that's what provides the sperm):

So it does have quite alot of nutrition even without the sperm, most notably protein (even without sperm), vitamin C, and sugars

Also this is a thing apparently
