I don't really know where to post this, but this seems like the best forum.
Is it true that the older a man gets, the more likely he is to get a woman pregnant? I haven't had sex with my honey yet, but the reason I ask is because he is 12 years my senior. I am on the Pill and we plan on using condoms, but I'm still concerned.

Everything I've read says no.
And while there is no decrease in fertility (effectiveness of sperm to fertilize an ovum) with age there is a decrease in sperm count.

Quote: Less has been written about male age and fertility. Men, after all, normally go on producing new sperm throughout their adult life. Newer studies, however, have shown a decrease in both the quality and quantity of sperm produced by older men. Thus paternal age is no longer an insignificant factor to consider. That site talks about a "gradual decline" in fertility with men as they get older.
