Sauna seems pretty close, it’s just sitting somewhere hot on a regular basis and is quite pleasant.
Saw a study recently that showed broad, dose dependent health effects.
Personally it really seems to help when I’m overloaded with stress, in a direct immediate way.
- xwdv 4y agoIt screws up your semen.
- colechristensen 4y agoWhich reverses when you stop.

- spoonjim 4y agoMost men have only about a 10-year period when they care about their semen quality, you can use the sauna the other 50 years.
- irrational 4y agoOther 50 years? What happened to the other 40 years?
- spoonjim 4y agoI assume ~80 year lifespan and that you start going to the sauna as an adult.
- eru 4y agoWhy would you only go to the sauna as an adult? In any case, how long does sauna's supposed deleterious effect last? Probably not more than a few days?
- krageon 4y agoI would be very surprised if it was above one day.
- colechristensen 4y agoFor sperm metrics to return to normal, a few months.
- mrmuagi 4y agoWhat about testosterone?
- tsol 4y agoDon't sauna in the few days before you plan to conceive. Bikes, among other things, can also screw up your semen. It's not that uncommon, and it's only temporary
- vvpan 4y agoDo you think you can find that study?

- TedDoesntTalk 4y ago> quite pleasant. I use sauna 20 minutes per day about 5 times per week (helps to have a small one in the home. Don’t get infrared if you get one). I would not call it pleasant. If done correctly, your heart rate is elevated (130-135 bpm for me), and you are sweating profusely.
- eru 4y agoWell, to get the full benefit you also want the ice bath afterwards. Sauna is fun, but it's not a panacea. It can't replace exercise, for example.
