It is unclear if phytoestrogens have any effect on male physiology, with conflicting results about the potential effects of isoflavones originating from soy. [1] Some studies showed that isoflavone supplementation had a positive effect on sperm concentration, count, or motility , and increased ejaculate volume.
Xenohormones can negatively impact the reproductive health of men by disrupting their hormone levels and sperm production which leads to reduced fertility. There is also an increased rate of prostate cancer or prostate related disorders in males due to xenohormone exposure.
Coumestrol and other phytoestrogens have been shown to have an effect on sexual behavior in rats by antagonizing the action of estrogen within the brain; male rats that nursed from females with coumestrol in their diets were both less likely to mount a female rat and less likely to ejaculate, despite producing normal levels of testosterone ...
It has also been shown that genistein makes some cells more sensitive to radio-therapy; although, timing of phytoestrogen use is also important. [45] Genistein's chief method of activity is as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Tyrosine kinases are less widespread than their ser/thr counterparts but implicated in almost all cell growth and ...

The effect of estradiol (and estrogens in general) upon male reproduction is complex. Estradiol is produced by action of aromatase mainly in the Leydig cells of the mammalian testis, but also by some germ cells and the Sertoli cells of immature mammals. [14] It functions to prevent apoptosis of male sperm cells. [15]
The isoflavones within tofu support bone density, help protect against hormone-related cancers, help lower bad cholesterol, can help balance menopause symptoms, and combat oxidative stress, which ...
Research from male rhesus monkeys suggests testosterone functions to increase sexual motivation, thereby motivating males to compete for access to sexual partners. It is postulated that the motivating effects of testosterone in male rhesus monkeys promotes successful sexual competition and may be particularly important motivating tools for low ...
