Luxury Car Accessories
Too much of a good thing can be bad for you. Unfortunately men are gaining cold comfort from heated seats found in luxury cars. A study has found that heated car seats might be damaging men's chances of fathering children. Tests on German men have shown that the heated seats found in many European cars and new model Asian-designed vehicles raise scrotum temperature above optimal sperm production conditions.
Sperm-making is best at 35.5 degrees Celsius, slightly below body temperature, explaining why the scrotum hangs outside the body. But the study involving thirty men and published in New Scientist magazine, found that heated seats raised the temperature of scrotums to 37.3 degrees after only one hour of sitting, compared with 36.7 degrees on unheated seats.
According to the study, which was first published in the journal ‘Fertility and Sterility,’ one man's vital equipment reached 39.7 degrees; and according to Andreas Jung, of the University of Giessen, although the increase was only slight it may nevertheless be enough to damage the sperm production process.
Professor Michael Chapman, a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist in Sydney, said high temperatures had been shown to damage both the quality and quantity of sperm, citing that men who work in hot environments like glass furnaces, as well as those who sit for long periods like truck drivers and taxi drivers, have been shown anecdotally to have lower sperm counts.
Chapman says that the increase seen with heated seats is unlikely to be a significant issue unless you are sitting in a car for a long period of time on a regular basis with the heater on. However, he did stress that these are the types of things men should be wary of, if they want to have a baby and are having trouble conceiving.
Therefore the health risks posed by limousine luxury accessories like heated seats are insignificant if used occasionally. Limousines are also equipped with accessories like climate control, so if the spacious cabin is warm you don’t need to use the heated seats at all during your ride.
