Microplastics accumulate in human organs, reduce testosterone, and may impair libido and erectile function as sperm counts decline alongside plastic production.
Cisgender men produce sperm in the testicles. It's from here that these male reproductive cells are released to inseminate the eggs women produce. Duncan says that repeated exposure to higher temperatures, such as those found in saunas, do inevitably have some effect on how much sperm is made by them. Testicles are located outside the body because they work better when they're cooler. If you're incubating them in a sauna then they don't work quite as well.
