Risk of wearing tight men underwear

Are there any real risk in wearing tight underwear? (men's underwear...)

I've heard something related to fertility and the quality of sperm.

Wearing tight pants can cause infertility and damage to the testicles, that's because they need to be 22°C cooler than the core body temperature.

If you wear tight underwear or trousers, the testicles become too hot and both testosterone and sperm production decrease - a common reason for male infertility. There is also evidence to suggest that there could be an increased risk of testicular cancer."

Switching to boxer shorts is frequently a first recommendation for couples who are trying to conceive. Though this probably does improve the sperm count, plenty of couples conceive successfully even when the male partner wears regular underwear...

The reason for the testes being out side the body is to maintain a cooler temperature to keep sperm healthy. When you wear tight undies, they draw the testicles closer to the body and therefore raising their temperature, which affects

sperm count and sperm motility.

The very fact that almost all mammals have testicles external to the body indicates that the testicle temperature must be maintained lower than than body temperature. You can't fight nature.
