MALE infertility is on the rise, according to scientists, who say guys can boost their chances of fatherhood by avoiding these sperm-killers: 1. TIGHT UNDERWEAR Tighty-whities lower dudes’ sperm count, according to a 2012 study of 2,500 men. Docs think tight undies overheat the testes, which then produce less sperm. 2. SICKNESS Cardiovascular disease and diabetes can lead to impotence and failure to maintain an erection. 3. BICYCLING Long rides can lead to performance issues, with 60 percent of cyclists reporting numbness and erectile issues in the genital area. Softer saddles or pedaling while standing offer relief. 4.
