user1373: So I asked this because I've seen a funny youtube video which talked about such a situation, and couldn't google up anything concrete about it. The question remains − how does the heat affect sperm and why it's not a working contraception method. 
I've asked questions like this before which may seem like I was trying to be funny, but I wasn't, and they got closed as "personal problems", which I think is a way for the community to say it's too anecdotal to look at seriously. They are not too anecdotal as apparently there are many questions like the one I'm posting about out there without a proper explanation. But I just want to know how I can make this one open for answers again.

user14629: I would argue that these questions are off topic because "Biology Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for biology researchers, academics, and students". It's not a place to ask any random, trivial question that pops into your head after watching a youtube video.
