"  If your guy has a penchant for hitting the sauna post-workout, he may want to think twice. Apparently, sweating it out on the reg can lower sperm count, according to a new study.  Researchers followed 10 thirtysomething Finnish men for three months as they spent 15 minutes in the sauna twice a week. They found that the guys&amp;#039; &amp;quot;scrotal temperatures&amp;quot; increased by three degrees and their sperm counts took a nosedive from all that heat. Not only that, but their lowered sperm count stayed low for three months and didn&amp;#039;t fully recover until six months later. More investigation needs to be done on this, researchers say, but so far, they&amp;#039;ve concluded that trips to the sauna won&amp;#039;t make your guy sterile (sperm count and fertility don&amp;#039;t always go hand in hand)\u2014and that their findings definitely don&amp;#039;t mean that sauna use could be a new form of birth control.  All we know is, heat and balls don&amp;#039;t really go well together: Other studies have shown how even just putting a laptop on the groinal area or chilling in the hot tub can affect a dude&amp;#039;s little swimmers. So, guys, you may wanna keep those testes cool, just in case.  Want more from Natasha? Follow her on Twitter or find her on Facebook. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
