A German study of 30 healthy men tested whether heated car seats raise the temperature down there to damaging levels. Testicles hang outside of your body because optimal sperm production requires a temperature 1 to 2 °C below the core temperature of 37 °C.
After an hour in the hot seat, participants' scrotal temperatures rose to an average of 37.3 °C, with a maximum temperature in one man of 39.7 °C. It's only a slight increase, but it may be enough to damage the sperm production process, according to Andreas Jung, a researcher at the University of Giessen in Germany.
As per this research, it is know that 1 to 2°C raise in body temperature may not effect sperm production. But, if temperature rises up it will definetly effect on your sperm count(decreases).
A toasty car seat may boost relaxation during your commute, but beware: It could also be frying your sperm.

Why do testes in mammals descend into scrotum?
The production of sperm requires a lower temperature than body temperature (in mammals) therefore it is necessary for the testies to be removed from the general mass of the body.
What changes are enzymes sensitive to?
temperature
Can you kill sperms by hot towel wraps?
No, though sperm formation benefit from the lower temperature in the testes, increased temperature will not kill them.
Can the testicular temperature be higher and lower than the body temperature?
Yes the sperms usually want it a bit cooler then the bodyheat. That is why they hang on the outside of your body.
Is the apple ipod touch fourth generation touch feature temperature sensitive?
No, the iPod touch 4th generation or all iPods are not temperature sensitive, it is a group of "touch" sensitive appliances just below the screen.
Does temperature affect people differently?
Yes. some people are more sensitive to coldness and some are sensitive to hotness
Are insects sensitive?
Yes they are sensitive to things like temperature, wet/dry and sound especially from other insects.
Is the ear sensitive to temperature changes pressure changes pain and vibrations?
No
What is the temperature sensitive resistor commonly used on vacuum gauges?
Thermistor
What is thermosensitive proteins?
Thermo-sensitive proteins refers to the living organisms that are very sensitive to air temperature outside the narrow range.
Which is more sensitive. temperature scale or celsius scale?
Question is ambiguos, because celsius is a unit meaure of temperature.
What is thermistor diode?
A semiconductor device that is particularly sensitive to changes in temperature, permitting it to serve as an accurate measure of temperature.
