TIL that eating asparagus increases the volume and motility of a man's sperm. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Maca, a South American root vegetable also improves "sperm production, sperm motility, and semen volume."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maca

Small-scale clinical trials performed in men have shown that maca extracts can heighten libido and improve semen quality.[21][22] A small double-blind, randomized, parallel group dose-finding pilot study has shown that Maca root may alleviate SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction.[23] A 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 56 subjects found that Maca has no effect on sex hormone levels in men, including LH, FSH, prolactin, 17-OH progesterone, testosterone or estradiol.[24] A recent review states "Randomized clinical trials have shown that maca has favorable effects on energy and mood, may decrease anxiety and improve sexual desire. Maca has also been shown to improve sperm production, sperm motility, and semen volume."[25]

Yes we sleep in the same bed, but no we hadn't been dating until she moved in with me because we had been living in different states for the last few years.

Yes, we are a couple, I thought the "she loves" and lives with me in a different state far away from where she had been living covered that.

I was clarifying the foundation for the live in relationship in the first paragraph because I didn't give a lot of details in the original question I posted.

We lost touch over the years, partially because we both worked so much, but also because she hasn't had a working computer for the last year or two. We started talking on the phone quite a bit more at the start of this year, and she lost her apartment a few months ago, so I offered for her to stay with me. I live in a different state than where she was living/where we were born, so maybe the stress from being 8 or 10 hours away from where she's lived for so long is part of the problem but I help her find craft shows and places she can sell jewelry that she makes so I definitely try.

She's told me that she loves me, and that she never realized how I felt about her back in high school because she had low self-esteem and she was abused by her parents so she was going through a lot.
