Add it to the list!

Hot baths
Saunas
Tight shorts

Anything that raises the temperature down there is not good for the production and survival of sperm.

I wouldn't worry too much about it though! It's not like DH sits there with heating pad on his you-know-whatsChat Icon

As long as it's not excessive, I'm sure it's okay.

OH noooooo - i knew what that article would be about. I read something similar not long ago and it also mentioned how the heat can affect a WOMAN"S EGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's why i use a pillow now and want to get something better than that for when i'm sitting at home...

I thought you meant you did something to poor dave - about the heat - like iced him down or something after using a laptop! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

My Dh would just sit there with it on his lap and now I make him use a pillow first! I said that I just want to make sure we are doing everything we can do to help it along! and he listens so it's all good! Chat Icon Chat Icon
