Oh my dear god. I didn't know that old guys knew how to neg. My dad and his cronies can barely manage to work their Blackberries, but somehow his generation picks up negging with lightning-fast speed??

One of the best nights out of my life actually looked like being one of my worst for a second there. The BFF (who is stunningly lovely) and I were hanging about in a bar and your typical middle-aged no-hoper came strutting over, radiating unpleasantness and Lynx bodyspray He looked the BFF in the eye and said "I know…

The idea that spermatogenesis can create viable sperm until a man dies is a popular myth and while some men may be able to reproduce until they die they…

No kidding. I have a friend who's had four miscarriages. Only after she found a woman GYN was it suggested they test her man's sperm for abnormalities. Ya think?

I'm going to post this separately as a general response to all the men positing that older men seek younger women because of declining fertility. Guess what? Your fertility declines, too. Sperm reproduces upon itself, meaning each "cloned" sperm is of lesser quality than the one it came from. (Think of every movie you…
