110 really. That is hot. The hot tub manufacturers are not allowed ot let hot tubs get above 104. That temp might cause your partner to have a low sperm count 70-90 days later.

If 100 normal couples use no contraception for 6 months 50 of them will conceive. for 12 months 85 of them will conceive. for 24 months 95 of them will conceive. My wife and I had 2 contraceptive failures, then we planned the third one. He took 12 months.
