Its the wonderful thing known as the testicles. The testicles produce sperm and store sperm.Actually, the testicles only produce sperm, they do not store it. Sperm is stored in the epididymis.
In the male the important function of the epididymis are?
They store sperm. The testes containing the seminiferous tubules are the sites of spermatogenesis (making the sperm cells). The epididymis stores the newly made sperm cells until they are mature and capable of being motile. If sperm are not ejected from the male reproductive system in a timely manner, the old sperm degenerate and are resorbed by cells lining the duct of the epidiymis. (McKinley, Michael. Human Anatomy. McGraw-Hill. 2008. p862).

Functions of the testicles?
The scrotum is a sac that holds the testes and associated structures. Its functions are to contain and protect the testes and to allow the testes to be cooler than body temperature, as the sperm production is hampered at body temperature, thus inhibiting virility.
Does wearing underwear effect sperm count?
TESTICLES maintain a constant temperature for the semen they store, maintaining a constant temp for the sperm. The testes are like an automatic thermostat. When the temp is too high (lowering sperm count), the testicles drop down to cool off. When the temp is too low (lowering sperm count) the testicles go up into the body to get warm. THEREFORE, when you wear briefs, the testicles stay up, in a warmer position. Briefs don't allow the "automatic thermostat" to work efficiently. THIS is why if you are trying to have children, and have a slight low sperm count, the doctor will tell you to wear boxers to allow the testes to do there job by raising and lowering, depending on temp, to give you the highest sperm count possible. So in answer to your question: YES. If you're thinking this may be a form of contraception - you're very wrong.
