When is sleeping naked beneficial? It is necessary to refrain from synthetic panties

Male fertility - the ability to reproduce - is influenced by many factors: the presence of bad habits, weight, age, characteristics of physical activity and lifestyle. But a group of scientists from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Maryland and Stanford University in California proved that reproductive functions also depend on how and in what the representatives of the stronger sex sleep.

According to experts, sperm quality improves if men sleep naked, but worsens if they wear tight underwear to bed.

The results of the study were presented at annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in Baltimore .

For more than a year, American scientists observed 500 men and assessed the quality of their sperm. The study found that members of the stronger sex who wear tight underwear only during the day and fall asleep naked have 25% better sperm quality than those who do not take off their underwear at night.

The fact is that tight clothing provokes an increase in temperature in the area of ​​the testicles (testicles). The best temperature for the testicles to work is slightly lower than the temperature inside the body. When the temperature in the testicular area rises, the quality of sperm becomes significantly lower.

In general, since ancient times, men have known about the effect of heat on their reproductive abilities. That is why those representatives of the stronger sex who were not ready for procreation spent hours in the bathhouse before sexual intercourse. At the same time, too active use of “bath contraception” leads to the fact that a man loses the ability to conceive a child.

American scientists advise men who want to improve their reproductive qualities not only to fall asleep naked, but also to wear loose underpants during the day.

“This is the first study to correctly show that men can improve their reproductive performance by choosing the right underwear,” says Allan Paci, professor andrology(field of medicine that studies men, male anatomy and physiology, diseases of the male genital area and methods of their treatment) from the University of Sheffield. “We now need to find out whether the partners of those who switched to loose-fitting underwear get pregnant more often or faster than the partners of those who continue to wear tight underwear.”

Allen Pasi advises anyone who wants to become a father to switch from tight tight briefs to looser ones.

He notes that lovers of spacious underwear are residents of India, China, Indonesia - countries that occupy leading positions in terms of population.

In addition, wearing tight underwear and subsequent excessive sweating can lead to infections, such as fungal infections. Also, the result of too much love for tight underpants is a disruption in the production of testosterone, the main male sex hormone.

In teenage girls, ovarian development may be inhibited due to compression. Doctors also remind you that you should stop wearing tight jeans all the time. Tight pants cause problems with the genitourinary system and interfere with the normal digestion process.

According to researchers, the combination of these factors can lead to rapid growth of fungi in the groin folds due to increased sweating, and an increase in temperature is known to have a bad effect on male sperm production. Accordingly, scientists believe that the best sleep will be one in which people sleep without clothes, only covered with a blanket.

Well, there really is a certain reason for such recommendations. In this regard, we can recall, for example, that in Rus' it was customary for newlyweds to be left on their wedding night in a cold entryway, even if they provided them with something to cover themselves with. Well, underwear in those days, especially among poorer sections of the population, was generally, to put it mildly, unpopular.

Similar and modern doctors, when treating marital infertility, recommend that husbands not wear too tight and warm panties, not go to saunas and steam rooms, and not even use electric heated seats in cars. After all, it’s not for nothing that men’s testicles are located in the scrotum - so that their temperature is lower than in the rest of the body. And with “cryptorchidism,” the failure of the testicles to descend from the abdominal cavity into the scrotum, which is sometimes observed in boys, the latter are at risk of guaranteed infertility without appropriate surgery.

And, of course, if the panties are also made of synthetics and do not absorb sweat well, then, naturally, high humidity is an excellent environment for the accelerated proliferation of bacteria and fungi. Which can lead to all sorts of "athlete's foot" - and even to urethritis, and with further advancement of the infection along the genitourinary tract, and to prostatitis, cystitis, etc. Which, of course, has a very negative effect not only on the quality of sperm - but and on elementary “male strength”.

Give up panties forever?...

So should men give up panties in bed from now on and forever? I think there is no need to rush here, though.

Let's start with the fact that underwear performs not only a purely “decorative” function. Firstly, it is the very first “barrier” separating the body from the environment. And it appeared, not least of all, purely for pragmatic reasons: changing it for a clean one, followed by washing, is much easier than an entire sheet or duvet cover, or, say, trousers. That is, those who like to sleep naked need to understand that if, based on modern ideas of hygiene, panties need to be changed at least once every few days (or even daily), then if you refuse them, your bed linen will have to be changed with much less frequency.

Yes, progress has given us automatic washing machines - but the “big wash” is still not such a simple task, because bedding sets still need to be hung out and dried, many still continue to iron them for beauty. Although this is devoid of practical meaning - since after ironing the fabric largely loses its main property, it is good to absorb sweat. So, if you have the desire and opportunity to remake the bed every two to three days, followed by washing the bed linen, then yes, you can sleep naked without much fear. Otherwise, you will have to wallow in your own dirt - which may turn out to be health spheres are no better than sleeping in tight and wet underpants.

What you shouldn’t forget when living without panties

However, even with frequent changes of bed linen, do not forget that underwear performs another function - warming. Yes, during sleep, the blanket mainly plays this role. But you never know what happens in a dream - a person becomes hot, he opens up - and taking cover “automatically” is often much more difficult. Meanwhile, although cold is beneficial for spermatogenesis, noticeable hypothermia of the lower abdomen and groin area is also fraught with the development of inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary area. Which is especially important for, let’s say, not very young men.

Don’t forget that sleep normally lasts no more than 8 hours a day. And work, the commute, household chores - the remaining 16. And all this time, the men do not walk naked at all - in addition to shorts, they are also wearing trousers. So to seriously contribute to the improvement of sexual function, you need to pay attention to, so to speak, “groin comfort” not only at night. Just as one can only hope that the achieved “night ideal” completely neutralizes the negative factors of most of the day.

On the other hand, these same considerations make it possible to look at the too radical demands to sleep only naked with some skepticism. After all, if underwear were really so harmful to the male genital area, then, based on the fact that they spent most of their lives wearing it, almost all men would be infertile. Which, fortunately, is not observed in practice.

It is necessary to refrain from synthetic panties

What is really definitely worth remembering in the recommendations of Anglo-American scientists is the completely reasonable advice to refrain from tight and synthetic underwear. Yes, in tight-fitting swimming trunks a man, especially an athletic man, of course, looks sexier in the eyes of his girlfriend than in some “family panties”. But swimming trunks are designed specifically for swimming - so that after leaving the water they dry as quickly as possible, without creating the risk of catching a cold in the genitourinary area. The rapid drying of the fabric is precisely achieved due to its poor absorption of liquid.

And linen for everyday wear, the function is exactly the opposite - to have maximum absorbency so that the body, even after sweating, does not “swim in its own sweat.” What is achieved through the use of natural fabrics - cotton and linen. Unfortunately, at the expense of the sacrifice of external aesthetics - sexual smartness and “tightness”.

In general, the main recommendation for sleepwear is that it should not be tight, be clean and absorb sweat well, and, if necessary, warm (but not overheat) the sleeper. And what will act as this - panties, pajamas, or just with a duvet cover - this is a matter of taste and personal choice of each individual person.

Sleep is a very useful state for a person. During sleep, the body rests, the person relaxes, so that when he wakes up, he takes on his business with new strength. In addition, a dream allows us to learn a lot about a person’s character by, for example, what position he sleeps in, or what he sleeps in - in shorts, naked, in pajamas. What does your man sleep in?

In shorts

Is your chosen one used to sleeping in shorts? He loves order in everything, even in small things, which can sometimes be annoying. However, on the other hand, men who sleep in shorts are attentive to people and sincere. Your man is attentive to you, as well as to other women close to him - his sister, his mother. This is exactly how it should be.

In pajamas

Representatives of the stronger sex who prefer to sleep in pajamas are open, direct, sincere people. If such a man gives his word, rest assured that he will definitely keep it. He likes relaxing in nature - with a barbecue, in good company in your person, and with the relaxing singing of birds and the rustling of grass. But discos and noisy parties are not for him.

In underpants

He loves to sleep in underpants, and to all your questions regarding why he sleeps in them, he answers with one thing: “It’s cold.” However, this is just an excuse, and the real explanation sounds completely different. Men who like to sleep in underpants are narcissistic egoists who are not particularly interested in other people’s disorder, as well as their opinion.. However, they are purposeful natures and achieve their goals, even if they have to go over their heads. So, at least you have a comfortable future with such a representative of the stronger sex in your pocket. He is stable in his habits, so you need strict control over the formation of his preferences.

In a T-shirt

Avid homebodies sleep in a T-shirt, whom no amount of goodies can lure into some long journey. This, of course, is bad, but such men work hard, do not get angry, and are not prone to revolutions and scandals. If you like home comfort and a quiet, measured family life, then such a man is the ideal choice for you.

In the buff

Creative men sleep naked. They can get excited about an idea, live it, look for all sorts of ways to achieve their goal.. Men who like to sleep in what their mother gave birth to are creative, sophisticated, sublime natures. In addition, sleeping with such a man is much more pleasant than sleeping with a lover of underpants.
