TIP #8: HANG TIGHT OR HANG LOOSE, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. And now, some good news for you Jockey devotees: the American Society for Reproductive Medicine conducted a six-month study to test whether or not the repeated use of polyester jockstraps reduced sperm count. Twenty-one male volunteers aged 23 to 44 years participated (someone told them it was part of an audition for a Jennifer Lopez video.) Although the supporters did elevate the temperature of the testes by about 1 degree Celsius, and there was some reduction in sperm concentration, no "statistically significant changes" resulted from prolonged wear of the supporters. The conclusion of all this serious medical study: fashion sense, and not sperm concern, should dictate what's under your Calvins.
