Because sperm function at 35 degrees where as your normal body temp is 36 so the scrotum is meant to keep the sperm slightly cooler then the rest of the body. That is also why when a male becomes cold the scrotum becomes smaller to bring the testes closer to the body to keep them warmer thus keeping the sperm warmer.
