Abstract
The possibility that intrinsic elevation of scrotal temperature could be related to subfertile semen has, only recently, become a matter for research interest.
-germinal thermal discordance occurs in such a narrow range around the optimum that infringement of body or reproductive requirements or tolerances, may result from relatively small and otherwise inconsequential climate or bodily changes.
