Hot seat is a gamble for the gonads

Quote:
Men who enjoy warming their bottom on a heated car seat should beware, for they may also be frying their chances of fatherhood, New Scientist reports in its latest issue.


This is what america needs- more in-depth reporting on gonads and gonad-related issues.

Bravo.

I didn't know you could get heated car seats. Heated toilet seats I have heard of.

That article is somewhat misleading.

The way it phrases it implies it's permanent, but as soon as the testicles don't get overheated, it goes back to normal within a few days.

Well, there's a reason the testicles are external to the body.

I think that was the name of a late-night movie I saw once, "Gamble for the Gonads." :wink:

Great Balls of Fire topic

Egad! Gonadicide!! ! Too much heat can be like a spermicide, as these little tads must be at a constant temperature (neither too hot nor cold) to retain fertility.

It is nice for a woman to have a warm seat as it helps ease cramps, but the men might want to turn down the heat, just to be on the safe side.

Good story, jrknewshead. :D

Thank you for this. My Volvo S850 has heated seats, I've used them before during the winter but not anymore. Save those for prospective girlfriends ;)

No, why sterilize yourself? If you don't want her to get pregnant right then, use a condom. That's what they make those for, anyway.

Pretty sure I've read something like this before. I'm not so concerned. I'd rather adopt, anyway.

I heard on tv once about some Middle Eastern tribe wraps cloth that has been soaked in boiling hot water around their testicles as a method of birthcontrol. You know it kills all the little spermies for 24 hrs or so.
