Always insightful and often provocative, the essays in this unprecedented collection cover a broad range of issues related to male reproductive and sexual health--including the latest technological developments for creating sperm; the specter of eugenics in contemporary medical markets; emerging approaches to male contraceptive methods, male infertility, and trans healthcare; controversies surrounding sperm donors and sperm banking; disparities in sexual health education for teens--all the while attending to the enormous variation in how individuals and societies understand, embody, and experience sperm. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt a time when the most basic rights of reproductive autonomy are under severe threat, contributors to this volume argue this is precisely the moment to rethink and reimagine sperm from a variety of medical, political, and cultural perspectives. Ultimately, this volume aims to contribute to a more reproductively just society and broaden conversations around bodies, health and equity in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rene Almeling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Health, Society, and Inequality\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781479834082","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44365850476681,"sku":"9781479834082","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_1ed9f4b9-16de-41f8-b225-bc547bf05491.jpg?v=1751347974","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/seminal-on-sperm-health-and-politics-9781479834082","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
