For this study, researchers collected information and samples from 656 men aged 32-39 who were experts on the relationship between underwear style and semen quality. Please seek help from the fertility clinic. The men filled out questionnaires asking what kind of underwear they had worn in the past three months: boxers, jockeys, bikinis, underwear or others.

Fifty-three percent of the participants said they wore boxer suits rather than tight white clothes. Interesting part? Researchers found that men in the boxing camp had 23% higher sperm concentration and 17% higher total sperm count than men in better underwear. More importantly, men in boxer suits also have a higher percentage of motile sperm, and these swimmers have enough skills to enable sperm to pass through the female reproductive system and fertilize eggs. The most striking difference is between those who wear boxer suits and those who wear jockeys and underwear. The authors of the study, published earlier this week in the Journal Human Reproduction, said that although previous studies have found that high temperatures affect sperm concentration and quality, so far, studies on the effects of different styles of underwear have not been consistent.

& Dr. Lidia Minguez Alarcon, a research scientist at Harvard t.h.chan School and lead author of the study, told Livestrong.com that the demand for infertility treatment has been increasing in the past few years as the incidence of infertility is also increasing. & These results can be used to improve the sperm count of men because underwear type is a changeable lifestyle.

But if a child is somewhere between winning a round of Fortnite and deleting the Tinder account from the current priority list, and you are a strong believer in jockeys, underwear and other tight underwear, don't check your underwear drawer now.

-In fact, infertility is very rare in the general population. Dr Jamie Brahmbart, a urologist and male fertility specialist in Orlando, said: "So I will not let all men change their habits when wearing underwear, because only a small number of people will benefit from it." & So unless you re-examine the whole process, I just want to say, keep doing what makes you feel comfortable. & Basically, these findings are useful for couples who are already pregnant in partnership with fertility experts. Even so, changing the type of underwear you wear will be an additional step to other alterable behaviours that have a greater impact on fertility, such as smoking, alcoholism and poor diet. If you decide to test the effectiveness of a boxer is the best theory, Dr. Minguez Alarcon suggests putting them aside three months before you start pregnancy, because spermatogenesis or spermatogenesis takes about that long. Otherwise, your gonads might look good in a tight white dress.
