The scrotum is to house the testes outside the body cavity, that location is cooler than normal body temperature. Since the sperm cells cannot develop at normal body temperature, that function helps.

The scrotum, the loose bag of skin that hangs below the penis, being outside the abdominal cavity is exposed to atmospheric temperature, hence has lesser temperature, which is conducive to spermatogenesis.

Does the tanning bed hurt sperm count for men?
Yes, tanning beds can reduce sperm count. Sperm is stored in the testes in the scrotum for a reason. The sperm needs to be held in the scrotum because sperm cannot survive the regular body temperature and needs to be kept at a lower temperature (in the scrotum). When men tan, the temperature of the sperm increases, killing them.
Where are sperm of the human male produced?
Sperm is produced in the scrotum sac of the male.
What does the scrotum function in the reproductive system?
The male scrotum houses the two testicles. Temperature can affect the fertility of the sperm: If the testicles become too warm, the scrotum relaxes and so the testicles sags further away from the body and are cooled. If too cold, the scrotum tighten up and draws the testicle towards the warmth of the body.
If a man goes to the sauna does this affect his sperm?
If he stays in long enough and often enough to significantly raise the temperature in his scrotum, then the sperm currently under production will be somewhat degraded. However, sperm is under constant renewal and it doesn't take ling for the sperm quality to bounce back.
What is the location of the testicles?
The location of the testicles is under the penis, in the scrotum.
How does sperm production change with temperature?
The best temperatures that sperm are produced is 37oc. if the temperature is higher than this then the scrotum lowers and if its colder than this the scrotum contracts and becomes more wrinkly.
What is the medical term meaning surgical incision into the scrotum?
