OK.But.
1 - Really, PE only in the sauna private sauna.
2 - IR sauna is very good idea. I did not know, very interesting sauna ..
3 - If Sauna is bad for the balls (fertility) as they say, then the majority of men in Finland (2 million saunas for 5.2 million people) or Scandinavia have fertility problem??
I believe, and studies show that excess heat causes decreased fertility by interfering with the health of sperm. And according to the studies that took place with local people working in very hot (in industries: iron foundry, must be 6 to 8 hour exposure to heat). I do not remember, but I think the heat interfered with sperm motility, or their ability to move around (a few drinks have the same effect as some drug / alcohol, or a poor diet, sedentary lifestyle). And when the bad effects have not been exposed to more heat too. Not mentioning anything about harming testosterone or something else.
4 - In our case we were only one hour during the day. I really believe that this time does not affect fertility. And the temperature of 104 º -108 º F would be enough to help in PE, because studies show that as the body raises the temperature to 104 º - 108 º F stretching are the easiest to be made. We do not need 160 degrees F or more to have good effects! But of course, it costs nothing to protect the ball during PE or on IR Lamp Sauna.
5- Sauna has the advantage of a general warming throughout the body. Thus, as in the gym doing aerobic exercises to warm the body (blood) around, but then we do strength training in a specific location (eg chest).
Thinking thus, we think that heating in general (running, cycling) before PE help?? One more thing to think about ..
