I would put this age above the age for girls though. Your average male starts his potential to be a good father around 18+ (i've had this explained to me before, that a larger proportion of the female population will be looking for a good father and mate than those primarily looking for good DNA), and lets face it, a 14 yr old ain't gona do that
Mating ability doesn't decrease with males for a very long time (and most guys will still be more than happy to push the envelope no matter their age), and the sperm are generally good for most of that time.
Women have a very limited effect breeding range (based on numbers of children and their ability to look after them), so it's pretty much grab and go from as soon as possible.
Would the ladies around here prefer a younger, but inexperienced, sire for their offspring, or one with a bit more worldly experience?
Of course, thats purely an instinctive analysis of the human psyche, and since we don't have any cavemen handy to ask, still very theorised. I'm also generalising to below 18 or so here as well.
