this is what i found from http://www.byedr.com/Mens-Health/1768-1-Mens-Health-4.html Hot baths 'do cut a man's fertility'

While it may not make you a hit with the ladies, new research has shown that men who avoid a long soak in the tub are more fertile than their bath-loving counterparts.

Five of 11 men studied over three years saw their fertility soar after they stopped immersing themselves in 'wet heat', water heated to warmer than body temperature.

After three to six months of staying out of the bath, the men's average active sperm count rose by 491%. Motility, a measure of sperm's ability to swim, rose by 34% by the end of the study.

Researcher Dr Paul Turek, of California University, said: 'It has been believed for decades, as an old wives' tale, that wet heat exposure is bad for fertility but this effect has rarely been documented. 'These activities can be comfortably added to that list of lifestyle recommendations and things to avoid as men attempt to conceive.'

Sperm is known to develop best in cool surroundings, which is why the testicles hang outside a man's body within the scrotum. It is thought that the men who did not experience an increase in fertility were affected due to being smokers.

The answer is not NO, but HELL NO! Next, you need to find whatever idiot that told you that, and go and kick them in the privates.

If the testis gets too warm they will pull up into your body and sitting in hot water often can make the spermcount fewer but not enough to make you sterile.

What element used to kill germs in tap water?

Why does tap water evaporate?

This depends on where you are, and the quality of your tap water and rain water among other factors. Filtering: Yes The lessening of particulates in the water enables it to evaporate faster. Other Water Treatment: Probably No The addition of chlorine or fluorine to the water may cause it to evaporate slower. Temperature: Whichever is hotter will evaporate faster. Hot tap water evaporates faster than cold tap water. Hot rain on a hot day may evaporate faster than cold tap water.


Does tap water have chlorine?

In some areas, water purification plants use first chlorine, to kill bacteria, and then ammonia to neutralize the chlorine. That leaves traces of chloramine in the tap water. This generally considered harmless to humans, but can kill tropical fish, which is why you have to treat tap water before using it for aquariums. However, as a result of the addition of the ammonia, there is no free chlorine in such tap water.Answer: In most places, yes there is trace amounts of chlorine left in tap water (used in the cleaning process) by the time it reaches a house for use.This can either be filtered out at the tap, or simply put the water in a pitcher in the fridge and the chlorine will evaporate within 24 hours. (do not seal the water in a bottle or you will trap the chlorine, use a pitcher with a light fitting lid so there is air transfer)

Is it true that you should not ingest hot water from the tap because the sediments from the hot water tank is bad for you?

Most probably the "sediments" have settles to the bottom and as the hot water is taken off the top of the heater there will be none in the tap water. Hot water will contain less calcium and other impurities (they fall out and become those "sediments" but hot water may also dissolve other compounds from pipes.
