Ticking, ticking…

Do you want some science with your humiliation?

A woman is born with somewhere between one million and two million eggs, which die daily. The eggs that stay on carry original genetic material inherited at the very start of her life.

Sperm, by contrast, are …fly-by-night. After each ejaculation, a man regenerates millions of new sperm cells, and with each cellular replication, the chances rise of an error in genetic coding.

These “new” sperm might still be able to fertilize an egg, but they can contain dangerous mutations. ‘As men get older, maybe there is some sperm available, but a lot of that DNA may be abnormal,’ says Harry Fisch, author of the pioneering 2004 book The Male Biological Clock. ‘After you make so many copies, the print may not be so useful’.

What better argument for forced chastity over 30? Extreme anti-masturbation devices at the very crack of adolescence? Not to mention penalties for copy-making after 40?

Read Jennifer Vanderbes on the “ticking biological clock” of men in general, and maybe sissies in particular.
