A member asked:
Why might a fertility specialist recommend a would-be father to switch from wearing briefs to wearing boxer shorts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To cover all bases: It's pretty 'old school' but some men have minor improvements in sperm numbers by switching. The idea, which is at least partly validated, is that the boxers allow the testes to be a tiny amount cooler than the briefs.
