Approximately 15% of couples attempting their first pregnancy meet with failure. After one year of trying medical authorities define these couples as infertile. In approximately 30% of these cases the cause is found to be in with the male and another 20% where it is a combination of both the male and female.
Reproduction from the male point of view depends on:
Those are just the physiological conditions required. Physiological impotence may be caused by toxic chemicals, hormone deficiencies, "street" drugs, medications, and nerve damage.

Presently there are studies looking at the effect on sperm count and motility of traffic fumes, mobile phones and laptop computers that are actually used on laps.
Dr Michele De Rosa and colleagues at the University of Naples said "Our study demonstrates that continuous exposure to traffic pollutants impairs sperm quality in young and middle-aged men". On average, the participants were exposed to traffic fumes for six hours a day.
New Scientist claims that men who park a hot computer on their laps for hours every day may be reducing their chances of becoming fathers. This is due to the fact that the heat generated by the processor elevates scrotal temperature by up to 2.8°C .
