the hot tube temperature lowers the current batch of sperm's motility and count, alter the DNA and general quality. your balls cannot extend far enough to escape the hot tub. its not permanent. if you want to conceive, stop boiling your nuts.

None of that is particularly relevant though, because my family was claiming it would permanently cause me to become infertile.
