10 Surprising Factors Killing Your Sperm
http://health.msn.com/health-topics/sexual-health/mens-sexual-health/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=100256368>1=31028

Overheating
Hot Tubs
Fevers
Laptops
According to researchers at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, there is a direct correlation between laptop use and increased scrotum temperature—up to 35˚ in certain positions!

This increase has a well-documented harmful effect on spermatogenesis (the process of male gamete formation), so if you’re trying to conceive, leave the laptop on the desk.

Briefs
“Boxers are better than briefs, if a man’s sperm count is on the low side. But it probably has little effect if the sperm count is normal,”



Varicose Veins

Cell Phones
“A 2008 study found that men with the highest cell phone usage (more than four hours per day) had significantly lower sperm counts, motility rates, and morphology (normal shapes),”


Obesity

A Party Lifestyle
“Tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana can impair sexual function,”

3. Re: Weed and sperm count
Edited on Sat Apr-17-10 07:31 PM by Mojeoux
You should watch the Movie 'Super High Me'. He goes from being stoned non-stop, to abstaining from smoking for 30 days...while abstaining, they do tests on him, one of which is a sperm count test, along with others like memory, respiratory, etc...and THEN, they give him a vaporizer, and he has to smoke as MUCH as he can in the next 30 days. It was very interesting for me to watch this. But anyways, when they compared the two sperm count tests, his sperm count was surprisingly almost double what it was when they tested him stoned compared to when he wasn't smoking. So my answer to you is, YES it does effect your sperm count, but in a good way.

4. Considering that the Dems are slowly doing away with abortion rights
I can't say I'm unhappy about this. Sorry.

10. Herbie the Sperm
Herbie was a dedicated sperm. He was sure that HE would the one to the egg.

Herbie did pushups and situps while the other sperms smoked cigarettes and mocked him.

Then the day came.

Herbie was the first in line. He raced ahead of the others. They saw him disappear into the darkness.

Suddenly Herbie reappeared swimming back at them.

Herbie was screaming a warning to them





GO BACK! GO BACK!
IT'S A BLOWJOB!!!!

11. Tightie whities also reduce chances of conception by making a guy look like a dork.
So fellas, if you're looking to score try some underpants that don't come in a plastic bag at Kmart.

13. They've been saying stuff like that about pot smoking for decades.
I can attest fairly certainly that it wasn't true then. It probably still isn't.
