Male fertility issues.

Alright, I have been trying many things, but I really think my male leopard gecko has fertility issues. My patternless has laid 5 clutches of infertile eggs at this point, and my albino hasn't laid any at all. I have separated the albino and fattened back up my patternless and reintroduced her back to my tangerine, but to no avail.
What can I do to possibly jump-start his libido? Is there a vet test than can test whether or not it's a problem with him or not? Any special food like pinkies maybe? Would actually introducing him to a fertile male possibly do something? Not let them fight or anything, but let him smell what a real man is...?
Also, if something does finally work and they start producing fertile eggs, can I extend my breeding season an extra month or two?
Thanks for any advice.

Haha, the funny thing is my boyfriend doesn't want to admit it may be the male that has the problem, because ya know, men have to stand up for each other...
He is over a year and a half old. He is of breeding age, the females are of breeding age (3yo) and I'm sure the females have been bred before.

...bleh...
Thanks though! Glad this became a light-hearted thread (though if I told my tang to his face that he has fertility issues he may develop a complex)

pick up another male and let them see each other but keep em separated. he may need a jump start that way. Before pople cry fowl I have had thi sawork before actually as short as 2 months ago with a group.

I don't know if this will make you feel better or worse but we had proven males AND females that just didn't produce this year. I have no idea why.
