What if your goal is to specifically suppress fertility [0]? Do you have a checkbox that says "I am making efforts to reduce my sperm count"?

IME, it takes about 3 weeks of consistent effort to get one's swimmers to go away. Maybe you know what is it about "3 weeks" in the spermatogenesis process?

Wow, interesting, had never even thought about that. I suppose the vast majority of our clients are actively trying to (or planning on someday trying to) have children.

But yes heat-based contraception would be a good bet. Saunas, hot tubs, tight underwear and your laptop on your lap 24/7!

You always want to be using 2.5-3 months to be on the safe side. There's no guarantee anything you do will take effect before then. Happy to connect you to our urologist if you have more specific questions!
