Answers:
Supposedly yes to the mans sperm count because of the heat. The sperm count is reduces. But, my hubby takes the hottest baths you could imagine and we have 3 kids, must not be too bad. =0)

Other Answers:
I have only heard that it will lower your sperm count

Yes

the worst that can happen is that the hot water will kill off any already developed sperm in your testicles. it shouldn't, however, cause any kind of long term problems, seeing as men generate billions of sperm everyday.
when in doubt, ask your doctor.

I am not sure that sitting in hot water is going to help your prostate problem since where the gland is located. Prostate massage is usually the thing for a enlarged prostate. I assume you have seen a doctor in reference to your problem, don't deglect it - I had prostate cancer and I wish I had had a PSA test taken a lot earlier than I did. But I do believe that any excess heat is going to be bad for your sexual health, even the wearing of tight briefs can cause you fertility problems. In general HOT water is not good for your general health.

basically, they tell you to AVOID hot tubs and the like when trying to have children, because it kills sperm. sperm take 72 days to devolop, so its not the best idea to be hottubing, other then that, there isnt much effect on your sexual health.

not really
