Can wearing tight boxers causes sterility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: While tight underwear can raise testicular temperature, which may reduce sperm production, it's unlikely to cause sterility (the total inability to father children). Men who are trying to conceive may do better with loose-fitting boxers but it's not a major factor.
