I heard that sitting in a hottub or using seat heaters in a car in excess can reduce your sperm count.  Since I enjoy both of these things, does anyone know if this effect is permanent or is it temporary because guys constantly produce new sperm?  Not that it matters now but I want to be able to have kids in the somewhat near future.

What little research has been done in this area suggests that raising the temperature of the scrotum above body temperature for about an hour can affect fertility for months. This isn't permanent, however; as you say sperm are constantly being generated.

well sperm production can be affected by temp. yes, generally the cold increases it..hints why a cock is further away from the body inorder to be a few degrees colder than the rest of the body...

do you even know where/how sperm is produced? or anything about the male anatomy?


to actually answer the posters question, it is only temporary.  it'd only become permanent if you sat in a hot tub or on seat heaters for a long period of time every day for a few years. i wouldn't worry about it.

The body has an amazing way of recovering from heat or cold.  When males are hot their balls hang away from their body.  When cold they draw up as close to the body as possible, sometimes inside the body.
