my gf just told me yesterday that if a guy wears underwear instead of boxers it makes his sperm less fertile than normal. is this true?

Slightly. It has to do with heat, the warmer they are (your testicles) the less sperm they produce. This wasn't an issue with me, I used to wear bikini, and we always seem to get pregnant. If you're looking for ways around condoms or the pill, don't, they are your best defense.

I've heard of guys putting their balls on a frying pan, going on the assumption that hotter is better. I'm pretty sure they quickly found out that it wasn't.

Now I cant shake the mental of Homer Simpsons sperm swimming in circles and bumping into each other. In case you missed that episode, Im not making that up.

Yes, it can affect the vigor and number of your sperm if you wear tight undershorts. However, I have also heard that it only has an effect if you are borderline fertile anyway. In most cases, I doubt it is an issue.

The whole point of a scrotum is to keep the testicles a few degrees cooler than the body's internal temperature. Too cold and the scrotum tightens. Too warm and it loosens.

Briefs can be a bit tight, preventing the scrotum from getting the balls farther from the body. OTOH, there's not a lot of air flow in there anyway with clothes, unless you wear something like a kilt, no? Are you a Scot?

boxers keep your boys at a temperate 97degrees and reduce annoying chafing. Going commando works too.
