People care about too many things and often neglect to care about themselves. Men will take care of women’s feelings during sex, but how many men will consider the feelings of sperm? I won’t talk about any love-making skills or health care content here. I just want to warn men that they must take good care of their sperm. Only when it is good is it truly good.

Having regular sex is good for sperm health

A study by the University of Sydney found that regular sex can improve the quality of semen. Contrary to common understanding, researchers believe that many couples' desire to get pregnant does not come true because they intentionally abstain from sex for a period of time in order to increase their sperm count. They specifically selected men with abnormal semen as research subjects, and found that all men who ejaculated once a day had greatly improved semen quality compared with before.

Sperm is extremely heat sensitive

The ideal temperature required for producing healthy sperm is 33°C to 35°C. If the temperature rises only a few degrees Celsius, production will stop, and the vitality and quality of sperm will also be damaged. It takes about 2 months for a sperm cell to be completely produced from beginning to end, so being heated for a few hours will not affect the sperm, but long-term and frequent heat exposure will not affect the sperm.

Don’t soak in hot springs often. According to research, sperm count decreases after hot baths, saunas, or colds accompanied by fever. Taking a full-body hot bath once a week for 30 minutes each time with the water temperature exceeding body temperature is enough to greatly reduce sperm production and agility.

Don't sit for long periods of time. A study from the University of Rome shows that Italian taxi drivers' semen is more likely to develop lesions than men in other occupations, which is due to their occupation and their preference to sit in heated seats while driving. When you have to sit for long periods of time, it's a good idea to change your sitting position frequently and spread your thighs apart—although this position is unsightly, it's healthy.

Don't wear slim-fitting pants. Pants that are too tight will inevitably press the testicles against the body, and the body temperature is generally higher than the testicular temperature. The heated testicles will affect the quality of the sperm.

Sperm likes to move

But cycling can increase testosterone levels, thereby promoting the vitality of the testicles to produce healthier and more active sperm. Endurance exercise is especially effective. Except for cycling. Research shows there is a strong link between male infertility and cycling, with mountain biking posing a greater risk of testicular damage. A German survey of 85 mountain bikers and 50 cyclists showed that the former had a testicular abnormality rate of 94% and the latter 48%.

The reason is that when riding a bicycle, the groin area often collides with the bicycle saddle, and the testicles are constantly squeezed. The collision is more serious when riding a mountain bike. To reduce the risk of injury, you should install soft padding on the saddle when riding, wear bicycle pants when riding, and install shock absorbers and a saddle with good elasticity.
