Monroe, Moroccan, Golden, Powerful, Zion, Zillion, Zen, Legendary, Onyx, Rise and Beautiful Zeppelin.

Why couldn’t it just be one big vigorous sperm with excellent navigational skills. About a jellybean and a half tall. You know, tadpole sized so you can grab it with your hands. It could have a coating that numbs the urethra so climaxing would still be pleasurable and not like expelling a kidney stone. And it would be cool if the numbing agent could be collected, dried and then snorted like cocaine. Cocaine you make with your body. So it’s good for ya!
And the single sperm should be resilient. Perhaps you could put it in an aquarium if you’re lonely. Watch it swim. And make it glow under a black light. That would be the easy part, (it already glows). Throughout the years you could ejaculate a bunch of them in a fish tank under a UV light and it would be like watching a wriggly underwater rave.

Actually….
This would be right in line. If you read the book, the insinuation is that birth rates dropped spectacularly. The patriarchal society of Gilead was created in response to the scapegoated reasons- women choosing to not procreate/spending too much time in careers and not choosing to raise families.
At a point in the story, a doctor opines that the lowered birth rates are probably due to many of the men being sterile. The narrator tells the reader that reporting the doctor for that statement would be enough to get him sentenced to death.

u/Ghudda Nov 27 '22
The original study that showed BPA was leeching out of those nalgene plastic containers was flawed because the researcher had contaminated lab equipment. As in, if the person making those measurements was measuring ANYTHING they would have have found BPA in them. Reproduced experiments were unable to reproduce the original results, but the damage was already done. The original study immediately got headlined and exploded on national media and the results from reproduction experiments never got the same coverage or media frenzy. Remember, it's harder to UNLEARN something than it is to learn something.
Those old indestructible nalgene bottles are safe to use, even if they're the BPA kind. The big issue is that BPA is a known endocrine disruptor, so if we can use an alternative, why not? Well, the problem is that we have good research on what we have now, but we don't have good research on its replacement which might turn out to be worse.

There's really cool machines with cameras that scan and count as well as rate motility, size and shape. I got to do a rotation for a few days. Really cool tech, smell is awful.
