Will Infertility In Men Lead To Further Complications In The Relationship?

I recently began dating a very handsome man. Everything has been going wonderful and on our third date he mentioned to me he was an xxy male. He told me basically he is just infertile. I had no idea what xxy was and we continued to have a great evening. I began researching it that evening and it seems the internet has a broad description of xxy status. He is tall but not fat or any of the other negative things mentioned in description of someone with xxy. We live in Vail, Colorado and he has a very fit body for all the activites people do here. I am just wondering other than the infertile part what things I should be prepared for if we continue dating.

XXY means the guys has a extra X chromosome instead of normal XY chromosomes in males. It is known as Klinefelter's syndrome. People with XXY have comparatively shorter life expectancy and have higher chances of getting medical conditions than normal XY males.
