Boxer shorts, the quintessential style for men’s underwear, have been around since the 1930s. If you’ve been wondering if boxer shorts affect your sperm count, the answer is yes!
Sperm count is a measurement of the total number of sperm in a man’s semen. It can be affected by many factors, including age and lifestyle.
One of the biggest factors that can impact your sperm count is whether or not you wear boxers or briefs at night. This is because boxer shorts have a much higher percentage of cotton than other undergarments, which can lead to lower sperm count in men who wear them regularly.
However, this isn’t always the case. When combined with other factors like poor hygiene habits and smoking (both of which are associated with a lower sperm count), this can lead to a lower sperm count overall. There are other factors involved that may impact your ability to conceive a baby—for example, if you’re obese or have diabetes.
