Unknown. Testicular Temperatures above 95 F are known to adversely affect sperm production. What is unknown is how will this exposure to temp above 95 affect the sperm and the sperm count. Also from the time of sperm production until ejaculation is around 90 days. During pregnancy, raising the mothers core body temperature is considered to possibley lead to birth defects. Therefore most people recommend no more than 5 minutes in a hot tub with a temp of no more than 101.

Also what are the dangers of sitting in a hot tub while >pregnant?
