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\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1479834068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781479834068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Rene Almeling","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46974597103871,"sku":"9781479834068","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_448c6687-bf45-4009-8641-43ef737d9c37.jpg?v=1750875494","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seminal-rene-almeling-9781479834068","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
