Tight boxers could damage man's fertility new study found.

Researchers at Harvard University found that the concentration and quality of men's sperm really did vary according to the style of underwear they wore. The study suggests that, like many women, sperm are even sensitive to man's personal style when it comes to his underwear.

How the study was done
They recruited 656 men who, with their female partners were seeking fertility treatment.

All of the participants were between 18 and 56, and healthy. The researchers asked them each for samples of blood and semen, and whether they had worn boxers, briefs, bikinis, jockeys or no underwear at all in the past three months.

More than half (53 percent) said that most days they chose boxer shorts.

This group had the most sperm, the most sperm and the lowest levels of FSH, a hormone that indicates the male body is trying to undo damage from being exposed to temperatures that are too high.

Boxer short wearers had 25 percent higher sperm concentration, a 17 percent higher sperm count and 33 percent more live sperm actively swimming in each sample of ejaculate.

These men, the researchers observed, also tended to be younger and trimmer. Surprisingly, they also took more baths and dips in the jacuzzi, which are thought to be bad for sperm health.

Jockeys and briefs, on the other hand, are not friends to fertility. Men that wore these styles most often tended to have smaller amounts of more sluggish sperm.
