Best Answer

The Sperm Cells (or Spermatozoa) are the Haploid cells that carry the Paternal DNA. They are made within the Seminiferous Tubules of the Testes (or Testicles) in various stages. The production of healthy sperm is Temerature Sensitive, they have to be kept at around 2 degrees C below the internal body temperature to mature properly. This low temperature is maintained by hanging the testes outside of the body in a structure called the Scrotum. Wearing underwear like Y-fronts or jockyshorts is often advised against in favour of boxer-shorts because the former hold the testes close to the body any keep them warm, increasing the chances of Reduced Fertility.

To cool them down. If they were your bodies normal temperature the sperm cells would die off. So they are out of the body to cool them down, and just close to get some warmth from your body.
