No. The main effects of klinefelter syndrome are development of small testicles, small penises, lower testosterone levels and reduced fertility
While that is true, there have been extreme advance in the use of fertility methods and while it isn't going to be 100% effective there is a higher chance than 0%.
Additionally, penis size is irrelevant when talking about fertility. Most Klinefelter's patients have normal sizes. The problem is called hypogonadism; reduced use of the testicles. The above poster is correct that with genetic counseling, there are relatively good chances of finding viable spermatozoa. I believe that early diagnosis is essential to finding and freezing the spermatozoa, which increases chances by a good amount. Source - I have it.

Can animals get klinefelters or turners syndrome as humans do?
Yes animals do sometimes have Turner's syndrome or Klinefelter's syndrome with similar characteristics as those observed in humans.
What does klinefelters syndrome come from what type of mutation?
Klinefelter syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males due to a random error in cell division, known as nondisjunction. This results in a chromosomal mutation where males have an additional X chromosome, leading to physical and developmental differences.
Compare and contrast Turners syndrome and Klinefelters syndrome?
With Turner's Syndrome, the females actually have 1 less chromosome, not an extra one or sometimes only part of the X chromosome is missing. Klinefelter's syndrome, 47, XXY, or XXY syndrome is a condition in which human males have an extra X chromosome. While females have an XX chromosomal makeup, and males an XY, affected individuals have at least two X chromosomes and at least one Y chromosome.
Does Jacobs syndrome affect males or females?
Jacobs syndrome, also known as XYY syndrome, affects males. It is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra Y chromosome in males.
How prevalent is the klinefelter syndrome in the population?
About 1/1000 to 1/500 males have Klinefelter's syndrome.
What disease afflicts males in which normal sexual characteristics fail to develop?
Klinefelters Syndrome
Can a male with klinefelters syndrome produce a baby without klinefelters syndrome?
First a testicular biopsy should be done to determine if he has any viable sperm. Some men with this condition do have some viable sperm in their testicles and if he does, in-vitro fertilization may be a possibility. However, if he does not have any viable sperm, then you would need to use donor sperm to become pregnant. Hope this helps.
Can you serve in the military with klinefelter's syndrome?
Most males with Klinefelters syndrome have sufficient physical and potentially mental development issues to render them unsuitable for millitary service. This does not preclude the fact that there are always exceptions.
What chromosome is klinefelters syndrome located on?
they have a extra chromosome, a normal male is XY, a male with klinefelters is XXY.
Does klinefelters syndrome affect women?
Klinefelter syndrome primarily affects males, as it is caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males (typically resulting in a 47,XXY karyotype). Women do not have this chromosomal configuration, so Klinefelter syndrome does not directly affect them. However, women may experience related genetic conditions or variations, but these are not classified as Klinefelter syndrome.
