your friend is lying, it makes no differences.  he's just trying to use the theory that by wearing boxers, your penis has more room to grow.

Uh, no he's not. The theory is that briefs will keep the testicles too close to the body, and thus, too warm, and thus the sperm will die or not grow/mature correctly. Boxers, with their extra room, allow the testicles to rise and fall, thus to keep the proper temperature for sperm growth.

Please don't answer questions if you yourself don't know anything about it.

But to the OP: I am not sure if this "information" on boxers versus briefs holds any real weight, and I'm pretty sure that is only a "tip" used for males that have trouble with their sperm count anyway. If you're normal it should be fine no problem either way.

For the record: My father is a briefs man, and he obviously didn't have much issue with sperm count.

sorry Tiny,  boxers allow your nuts to be cooler cause they aren't being held as close to your body.  Being cooler, they can produce more sperm.

That's how I got here. My parents couldn't figure out why my mother couldn't get pregnant. It was because my dad was wearing briefs. He had to start wearing boxers. Haha. True story.

Boxers do not raise your sperm count. Briefs can lower it, however, but not by any significant amount. Nothing to worry about. Just go with whatever you like better, don't let this be a deciding factor.
"Sperm count measures how many sperm are in a man's ejaculate. Anything over 20 million sperm per milliliter is considered normal."

Statistics show that men wearing boxers have an increased sperm count as opposed to those wearing briefs. However, the difference between spermcounts in boxers and briefs is very minimal and not worth making a wardrobe choice over. If you are a healthy adult male, then regardless of the britches you wear, you are still quite capable of knocking up that drunk chick you met at the bar last night when you lied about having protection.

Gotta love fun facts.

I'm quite partial to the boxer-briefs myself. WHAT NOW SPERMIES?!
