Default Benefit of heated front seats option

There is a high probability that my 08 997 may be equipped with heated front seats. I can care less about this option, but my gf and female friends like me to have this option so that their buns can stay warm in a little time they're in my car. And we are in So Cal where it doesn't even snow.

For guys with this option, is this for yourselves or for your significant other? For guys who use this feature regularly, are your sperm count ok?

the simple answer is despite the fact that the extraabdominal testis are slightly heated from heated seats, there have been no clinical syndrome of hypospermia secondary to heated seats. most of us in the norteast use it, as do our occupants. why should you buy it in socal-when you sell it, wholesalers, who sell it all over the country, might be less reluctant to take the car if it isn't heagted completely.

I tried counting them but found it's very dangerous over 70mph....

I've had this option on all my cars, except my 360, and would highly recommend it. I've always loved this option, especially if you have a cab.

Another advantage to the heated seats is that, if your back is sore, they are like a heating pad and greatly relieve the pain.

......the RF pattern from the specific wiring layout in Porsche seats promotes CA of the prostate. Leave it off. ...the ladies only have to worry about their ovaries, but they're slightly more distant from the source.

I use it daily in the fall, winter, and spring, but our weather is cooler then yours. I think the heated seats is an option that is out of the way when not needed but is great to have when you do need it. I would say get it, don't use it if you don't want to use it.

Long drive. Sore back. Tush warmers on. Back much better.
Sperm count? Prostate cancer? Oh, come on.

It was 3C this morning in Austin, but I was still able to put the top down and stay quite comfortable because of the heated seats. I love having the option.

We had record heat last weekend here in S. Cal but both my wife and I enjoyed the wonderful two stage heated seats in our new P car both Sat. and Sunday night.

We put the windows all the way down, sunroof all the way back, listened to that wonderful flat 6 and were snug as the proverbial bug with those fantastic seat heaters.

And as others have said... they're not just warming your glutes... they're wonderful on the back.

don't know about socal, but, here on the east coast, once you go heated seats, you can't go back.
