Reproduction isn't the hard part, from what I can tell! It's everything after the reproduction occurs that is tough.

- _whiteCaps_ 4y agoI'm not so sure about that. Sperm counts are dropping: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/human-sperm-counts-declining-worldwide-study-finds-180981138/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/human-sperm-counts...
- nsxwolf 4y agoMaybe we just got better at counting them in the last century and they haven't actually dropped.
- ldayley 4y agoI understand the cheekiness of this comment, but reproduction in many societies has indeed become more difficult for many of the same reasons (among several others). The sex hormones that orchestrate lactation and mother-child bonding are largely the same that regulate menstrual cycles, sexual desire, pregnancy, and childbirth. If disruptions to these hormone balances are found to be a major cause in an increase in breastfeeding issues, then this likely correlates strongly with issues effecting the entire reproduction “stack”, if you will.
