Temperature CAN Lower His Sperm Count
Apparently, his semen fluctuates with the seasons. “Sperm count tends to be lowest in summer months and highest in winter months,” says Fisch, because exposure to heat lessens sperm count. Overheating can include anything as seemingly innocuous as your man having a hot Macbook on his lap or as obvious as the two of you relaxing in a hot tub. “In a Jacuzzi 104 degrees and higher, sperm count can decrease dramatically,” warns Fisch. In fact, this decrease can last for months after extreme overexposure to high temps. “I tell my patients, if you’re trying to have kids, don’t go into hot tubs.” Of course, don’t assume you’re totally safe from getting pregnant after you take a dip, either. “It’s not birth control,” he laughs.
