A New Study Shows Just How Little Men Know About Their Own Fertility & Sperm

It’s hardly a secret at this point that most cisgender men know nothing about periods. As if that weren’t cringe-worthy enough, it appears most men barely understand how their own sperm works.
A new report from Carrot Fertility and Legacy explored how well the average American understands sperm health and fertility for people with penises. To gauge this, researchers conducted a digital survey of 2,983 adults ages 18–65 during November 2022. Participants were asked to indicate their age, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, among other demographic factors. The results are pretty shocking: It turns out more half of men are very misinformed about how common behaviors and lifestyle choices can affect their sperm.
