slightly lower than body temperature

Explanation:

For a successful sperm production in the body, the temperature required should be slightly lower than the body temperature. Sperm production in the body is heavily dependent on the temperature of the testicle. The temperature plays a major role in successful sperm production. The testicles is usually slightly lower than the body temperature. At about 2°Celsius to 5° Celsius.

The temperature of the testicles is usually regulated by the scrotum . In situation where one expose himself to extreme heat the scrotum might not be able to prevent the rise in temperature of the testicle. In such situation one might produce less quality and quantity sperm because of the high temperature exposure.
