Medical Video: 12 Things to Know If You Like Sleeping Naked
There are two types of men in this world. Those who sleep are complete with clothes and pants, and those who sleep are as they are - aka naked. If you are the last type, it seems you deserve to be proud of this "eccentric" sleeping habit. The reason, a number of health experts argue that sleeping without underwear can increase male fertility. Why, what is the connection?
Sleeping without underwear is healthier for sperm
When talking about sperm health, there are three important factors that must be taken into account: sperm count, sperm shape, and sperm movement. If there are only one abnormality of these three factors, then your risk of fertility problems or even infertility can increase.
The type of underwear you use has a little effect on the health of the testicles. As a producer of sperm, the testis can produce sperm with good quantity and quality if the surrounding temperature is not higher than your body temperature. This is the reason why the testes are located outside the body. If the temperature of the testicles is too hot, even just rising a few degrees normally, the testicles will not be able to produce sperm optimally.
One type of underwear that can increase the temperature around the testicles is the type of tight panties or briefs, including boxer brief. Some researchers revealed that tight underpants caused blood flow to the testicles to be blocked and made it free to breathe. As a result, testicular temperature increases. In the end, this can reduce the amount of sperm produced. This indirectly causes the quality of sperm to be bad.
The decrease in sperm quality due to the increase in temperature does not only occur due to wearing tight underwear at night, but also the choice of underwear that you wear during your daytime activities. Previous research has also shown that exposure to hot temperatures and tight clothing has a negative impact on fertility.
Sleeping without underwear will make the testis more free to breathe, so the testicles can produce healthy sperm without a hitch. However, this is still a pros and cons. Other studies have revealed that there was no effect on the type of underwear used on male fertility.
Sleeping without pants is also better for penis health
Exposure to high temperatures in the groin area will make you sweat more easily. A day of wearing underwear without giving your intimate organs a short break to breathe can be a soft nest for bacteria and fungi that really enjoy living in a dark, warm and humid place. This makes you more susceptible to yeast infections, which are also detrimental to health.
Removing underwear when sleeping can be an effort to maintain the cleanliness of the genitals. The rest, whether to maintain fertility or the health of the intimate organ as a whole, try to wear underwear that absorbs air and sweat during the day, for example cotton underwear.
Don't forget too, make sure the cleanliness of the mattress and bed first before deciding to sleep without underwear when sleeping.
