Let’s not bury the lede here. I did a semen sample on Tuesday. At the time, I guess I had been sober for about 52 days. I think a “full regeneration” of sperm takes about 90 days if you were an excessive drinker. I’m also 42, which is a bit older than, say, a 29 year-old guy going through this stuff. I definitely was an excessive drinker.

I write about a lot of different topics, from work to masculinity to relationships and social dynamics, I.e. modern friendship. Pleasure to be here.
