De Kretser boxer shorts help global sperm counts?From: Michael Vaughan (michael.vaughan@onebox.com)Tue Aug 23 11:01:58 2005
Does any one know where patients can purchase the De Kretser boxer shorts? At Fri, 20 Mar 1998, Shankar Periasamy wrote: Sperm-friendly underwear? MELBOURNE, Australia (Reuters) - Scientists have teamed up with an underwear company to tackle the hot issue of male infertility with cool, sperm-friendly boxer shorts. Monash University's Institute of Reproduction and Development, which treat infertility, launched the new "Air Conditioned" underpants Wednesday with commercial partner Davenport Industries Pty Ltd. Unlike normal boxer shorts, known to be kinder on sperm than tight and sweaty briefs, the new cotton garments provide an inner mesh lining for a snug fit, the institute said. "Some men I see with tight underwear don't like wearing boxer shorts because they don't like the freedom, the loose feel," institute director Professor David de Kretser told Reuters. Recent British research has shown tight-fitting underpants can overheat testicles and damage sperm. International studies have also shown men's sperm counts are falling around the world. The Melbourne-based institute will take 10 percent of the sales revenue from "Air Conditioned" underpants to fund its research into male reproductive health and prostate disease. Shankar
