Lack of oxygen.

Read from a website that babies have a high level of red blood cells. An adaptation of foetus to intrauterine life. When blood flow through the low pressure veins from an extremity of a newborn is restricted, the amount of deoxygenated hemoglobin can quickly increase to greater that 5 grams per 100 milliliters of blood, and the arm or leg will turn dark blue (cyanosis).

Because if it's inside your body temp will kill the sperms. Or rather they aint gonna be healthy.
Why the sudden interest in male anatomy??

renorenal SG

Precisely...

The more concentrated the hemoglobin (Hb) is the higher the chances of the patient developing cyanosis. Whereas the lesser the Hb (anaemia), the more unlikely the chance of developing cyanosis.

Cyanosis is formed through an accumulation of the blue pigmented body - carbaminohemoglobin if the patient is deprived of oxygen for a long period of time. If there is more hemoglobin (polycythaemia) in the patient, more carbon dioxide packs into them easily, hence increasing the chances of cyanosis more.

Ok...my two contributions of a 'sexual' nature:

1. Why do men wake up with morning erections and how is that useful in the investigation of impotence?

2. If you find evidence of recent ejaculation on a dead body (quite common), does it mean the man had indulged in sexual activity prior to death?

renorenal SG

Precisely! The gonads hang out from the human body so as to get a lower 2-3 C of temperature to prevent from the effects of heat sterilization of the sperm. If the gonads are located within the peritoneum, there is a higher chance of it turning into malignancy as well.

Dead people have stiff muscles, can you name the phenomenon?
