a. Relax together in a sauna or hot tub.
b. Stimulate the scrotum with a vibrator.
c. Increased time spent in foreplay.
d. Use water-soluble lubricant.
D
Water-soluble lubricant has no spermicidal properties as compared to other lubricants that may damage sperm and decrease chances of conception. Heat to the scrotum depresses spermatoge-nesis and could decrease chance of conception. Foreplay and vibrators do not increase sperma-togenesis and will not increase the chances of conception.
