ORIGINAL: Earlofderby A man can sire children at any age if not impotent through illness. 18 to 25 year old young and fit and very fertile Woman can only have a limited time to procreate but a man does not have that problem. Young women are desirable to men of all ages. quote:
But not so fast. Older fathers, it turns out, can present as many medical problems as older mothers—more in fact. For all the concerns about Down syndrome and other genetic disorders that become more common in babies of older mothers, the list of conditions older fathers bring to the table is turning out to be far longer. Just last year, a study in Nature found that rates of autism and schizophrenia rise sharply in the babies of older dads, with the risk doubling for every 16.5 years of paternal age. Another study, also in Nature, found something similar for autism, beginning when a man is just 35—the same ostensible trouble-age as for moms. Yet another paper in the American Journal of Men’s Health linked paternal age to preterm birth and low birth weight, and others have found connections to cleft lip and certain cancers. The problem arises from the same 16-day turnover rate that make sperm such an infinitely renewable resource. Every batch of sperm represents an opportunity for genetic typos—called de novo mutations—to be passed on. A 20-year-old man and woman will each pass on about 20 de novo mutations to a baby they conceive. By the time the couple is 40, a woman’s total has remained at 20, while a man’s has jumped to 65—and it keeps climbing from there. http://healthland.time.com/2013/04/11/too-old-to-be-a-dad/ Same opinion I have as I have about women who get hormones to get pregnant very very late in life: Irresponsible idiots, putting a child at risk, the kid didn't ask to be born with a disability because some old fart thinks it's "manly" to produce kids that are the age of his grandkids... Btw if a grown, much older man finds women desirable that are just legal, it tells me he has a bit of a Peter Pan complex and woman who is less impressionable than a teenager who hasn't lived much would be far above his capability to handle...
