At what age can a male impregnate a female? Can he ever be too young or too old?

Answer

Obviously, a male is not capable of impregnating a female until he is able to
ejaculate. But even for the first year or two after puberty, when boys first
begin to be able to have adult-like orgasms and ejaculations, their sperm count
is quite low. It is only a couple years after puberty that most boys become fertile.
On the other hand, barring health problems, most men remain fertile for their
entire lives. There are several well-documented cases of men well into their
80s and even 90s having children, Picasso being a famous example. This is because
men never go through menopause, as women do. Of course, whether a man would
want to have a child in his 90s is another matter! Hope that answers
your question.
