Except when they want to have s*x, some men don’t think that it’s beneficial to sleep without wearing pants or boxer shorts.
Yet, scientists are saying that there are inherent health advantages when men sleep n aked from the waist down!
What are these advantages? Read on!
You’ll protect your testicles. Researchers warn that sleeping in your underwear increases the odds that you’ll get an infection in the worst possible place. According to a urologist, Dr. Brian Steixner, the drawers we keep our underwear in generates heat and moisture, making bacteria to thrive, even on our clothing materials!
When you have your pants or boxer shorts on overnight, any chaffed or irritated skin down there can become infected. Steixner therefore counsels men to stop wearing underwear to bed. “This will keep your private part cleaner, drier, and healthier,” he says.
You’ll nurture your s perm: The scrotum needs to be just the right temperature in order to optimise s perm production, says Dr. Steixner. The ideal temperature is just slightly cooler than the rest of your body. When your testicles are too warm, your s perm quality suffers, according to a Finnish study that tested the semen of men who used saunas.
Even tight underwear can be enough to raise your scrotum’s temperature above the optimum level, Dr. Steixner says. So, for the sake of your genital health, consider sleeping n aked!
You’ll get closer to your partner: Swedish researchers say skin-to-skin contact with another person triggers the release of the hormone oxytocin in the brain.
The chemical reduces stress, makes you feel more connected to your partner, and increases your s ex drive, the scientists say. Obviously, brushing up against each other n aked in bed often leads to good things!
The bottom line: It’s all about your genitals. Be wise!
Meanwhile, here are Five Scientific Reasons men should sleep n*ked;
1. You’ll sleep better
Shedding your threads before tucking in will help you snooze more soundly, says Men’s Health sleep advisor W. Christopher Winter, M.D. Your body temperature declines as you doze and climbs before you wake up, but clothing can interfere with this natural fluctuation, Dr. Winter says. The extra insulation can make you too hot as your temperature drops, leading to tossing and turning and waking up sweaty in the middle of the night. Nix the PJs and allow your body temperature to ebb and flow uninterrupted, Dr. Winter says.
2. You’ll ignite your metabolism
Staying cool throughout the night may help rev your metabolism, according to a 2014 study in the journal Diabetes. Researchers found that when people slept in a chilly room, they produced double the volume of brown fat—a healthy fat stored in your neck that burns calories to generate body heat—compared to when they slept in a warmer room. Keeping your body temperature lower by sleeping nude could produce the same effect, says study author Francesco S. Celi, M.D.
3. You’ll protect your testicles
Sleeping in your underwear increases the odds that you’ll get an infection in the worst possible place, says Brian Steixner, M.D., a urologist based in Atlantic City, N.J. Your drawers keep heat and moisture in—and bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments, says Dr. Steixner. More bacteria makes for a higher likelihood that any chaffed or irritated skin down there becomes infected, he says. Skip your skivvies to keep your balls cleaner, drier, and healthier.
4. You’ll nurture your s perm
Your scrotum needs to be just the right temperature in order to optimize s perm production, says Dr. Steixner. That perfect temperature: 95 to 96 degrees, just slightly cooler than the rest of your body. When your testicles are too warm, your s perm quality suffers, according to a Finnish study that tested the semen of men who used saunas. Even tight underwear can be enough to raise your sack’s temperature above the optimum level, Dr. Steixner says. So for the sake of your future children, consider going n aked.
5. You’ll get closer to your partner
Skin-on-skin contact with another person triggers the release of the hormone oxytocin in your brain, according to Swedish researchers. The chemical reduces stress, makes you feel more connected to your partner, and increases your s ex drive, the scientists say. And let’s state the obvious: Brushing up against each other n aked in bed often leads to good things.
