Wait, so... Permanent infertility is caused by shit like diseases, scarring, trauma, ect. to the testicles and or surrounding areas. What about increase in scrotal temperature? Is that permanent or temporary infertility?

>>	Anonymous Mon May 7 22:12:32 2012 No.4659342 Temporary. Unless you have literally cooked your balls to the point of killing the tissue, which would probably produce some nasty necrosis. But you can't do that in a hot tub.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 7 22:13:32 2012 No.4659344 It depends on how high the temp went. If it was enough to kill cells and denature protein systems - permanent. If it was low to the point of just shutting down the cellular meiosis then temporary.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 7 22:40:52 2012 No.4659405 >>4659383 Not sure. I can't imagine the effects would last longer than a week though. And it's really only about being less fertile due to the high temperatures interfering with sperm production, not being totally infertile.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 7 22:55:36 2012 No.4659439 >>4659432 Boxers of course. Don't drink or smoke either. I'm active, I had an ultrasound done and everything was fine.
