COLD TESTES

When I hold my testicle it feels cold. Why is it so? But it's not tight, actually it's hanging low. Is it an effect of wearing boxer shorts without briefs? I wore only boxer shorts because I heard it helps produce more sperm. Is it true?

I think it's just poor circulation to your groin. I've always had the same problem since I was a kid. It's no big deal since they will regulate themselves (by moving up and down=towards or away from your body) for the correct temperature control.

Wearing boxers instead of briefs increases sperm counts BECAUSE it allows them to move away from you when they get too warm and toward you when the surroundings are too cold for them.   The reason the testicles are not deep inside your abdomen like ovaries are located is that sperm are healthiest when they are cooler than 98.9 degrees.  So if you hold them and warm them up, you may as well keep wearing tight briefs that hold them against your warm body.
