[kris22]

ive been hearing rumors about like "mtn dew" and "7up" and 'tight pants" actualy decrease semen count and cause shrinkage. is this all true because i wear tite pants and i drink those

[Maverick]

No, it is not true. Plain and simple. It's a myth.

The drinks dont, but tight pants can cause too much heat, and kill small amounts of sperm. Nothing big though.

At least i think so....

Soft drinks have no effect on anything but your waistline.

Heat will temporarily lower sperm count, but not to worry unless you're trying to become a dad! The testosterone production (the male hormone that controls puberty and growth and the like) isn't effected by heat or soft drinks or the position of the sun, for that matter.

Yep. Its a myth. The tight pants could have a bit of an effect i suppose but i highly doubt they'd make your sperm count low or anything.

My health teacher told us excessive heat on the testes can/will cause sperm to die. The others are myths.

it shouldn't cause you to decrease the amount of semen that comes out. what it would do is decrease the amount of sperm that would come out.

drinks don't

although having tight pants increases the heat around your semen if it gets too hot the sperm die so yes it can affect your sperm count by quite a bit.
