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.
Why are sperm produced externally?
Sperm are produced externally because there is a certain temperature at which they survive. for this reason, when its cold, your testicles "shrink" to warm up and keep it at the required temperature. when its warm on the other hand, your testicles "drop" to drop the temperature
Can sperm survive in the mouth?
i think that sperm dies slowly once it is in the mouth due to the normal temperature of the mouth...98.6, being that this is a true factor of the human body, sperm can not survive in extreme heat, once its digested then the acid from your stomach kills the remaining sperm...if any! :-)
Can pre-sperm survive on your skin?
The seminal fluid you call "pre sperm" has no living matter, sperm cells will survive for a short while on skin.
Why are mens testicles on the out side?
It has to do with temperature control. The scrotum acts like a thermostat, regulation the temperature of the sperm. You may notice that in cold water, the scrotum retractst the testes closer to the body. The reverse happens while exercising or sweating. Sperm cells survive best in just under body temperature. If the testicles were inside the body there would be no form of temperature regulation.
How quickly does sperm die?
If they are not stored in the proper climate/temperature they can die very quickly. (A matter of hours). However, if they are stored in containers kept in the right temperature, etc. then they can survive for days...possibly longer.
Why is it advantageous to have human testes in the scrotum?
Sperm survive longer at cooler temperature than our core 98.6 F The testes are a few degrees cooler, and they manufacture sperm that propagate many mammalian races, including us humans.
Can sperm survuve outside the body?
No it will not survive as SPERM only live for split of seconds.
Do hot tubs reduce sperm cells?
The sperm need to be cooler than body temperature, hot tubs increase the temperature of the testicles above body temperature and production of sperm is decreased.
What temperature does typhus need to survive?
It needs the human bodies temperature to survive.
How long does sperm live in a container?
It can't survive in a paper cup. To survive it must be kept at a very cold temperature and in a special container. At room temperature, after about an hour I think they start dying off at an exponential rate. They don't all die at once.
Do males who wear tight pants tend to be less fertile than males who wear lose clothing?
If the pants are tight in the crotch area, then yes. The sperm in your scrotum survive at a temperature a couple degrees lower than your body temperature. This is why your sperm is stored away from your body. So tight pants and "whitie tightie" underwear push your scrotum against your body and raises the temperature of your sperm. This kills your sperm and gives you a lower sperm count.
