Testicles versus main body is the classical example. Sperm production and conservation just works better around 32°C.

On a more practical note, I wonder how feasible a thermoelectric powered earpiece would be...

How does that works? For a period of time before you try to get someone pregnant you should try to keep your testicles at that temperature to get the best quality possible?

Yes. Boxers. Loose pants. No hot baths or saunas. Good luck!
