Sperm count…: Can be temporarily reduced by pressure from bicycle seat, tight briefs, exposure to extreme heat, emotional stress, insomnia, performance pressure, varicocele. Supplementing zinc, folic acid, vitamin c may be beneficial. Stop smoking or using drugs. See following site for good topic coverage: http://www.Babymed.Com/tips-improving-sperm-count.

You can't: There is no certain way to improve sperm count. While environmental changes and nutritional supplements may offer some benefit, it is not likely the effect will be large enough to make a difference in your fertility. If there is a problem, be sure to see a fellowship trained fertility urologist. Most are not trained in infertility. Please check with a fertility center to know.

Absolutely agree. There is way too much misinformation circulating about this.

Is sperm produced from blood?

Not really: The things that your testes, seminal vesicles, and prostate need to make sperms and seminal fluid is brought by way of the blood. Blood doesn't pool and turn into semen though i've heard ill-informed people say this.
