    Default Laptops can affect your sperm

    ABC Science Online
    Thursday, 9 December 2004




    Heat generated from a laptop warms the scrotum and may affect sperm.



    The increasing use of laptop computers could produce a generation of men with fertility problems, a new study suggests.

    The study by U.S. researchers in the journal Human Reproduction found laptops increased the temperature of the scrotum by almost 3°C.

    Lead author Associate Professor Yefim Sheynkin of the State University of New York said repeated, long-term exposure to laptop-related scrotal hyperthermia, or over-heating, was a feature of modern life that may impair sperm production, particularly in teenage boys and young men.

    Researchers have blamed heat exposure, through prolonged driving, sedentary work and even plastic nappies, in what many say is a worldwide decline in sperm production.

    The latest study says laptops can reach internal operating temperatures of more than 70°C.

    "Frequent use of laptop computers in a laptop position directly exposes the scrotum to the dissipated high internal operating temperature of the machine," the authors said.

    "In addition, the use of a laptop requires a special body position ... when the scrotum is trapped between closely approximated thighs."

    A case of a man who burnt his penis and scrotum after using a laptop was reported in the Lancet journal in 2002.

    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    I bet I've had some Lapdances that heated my scrotum even more than this.

    Lol and so can tight underwear on men. The underwear hold in body heat, which can fry some of the little devils! Really!

    And hot baths for men, wanna get you're lady pregnant, forget hot baths.

    And Amplifiers for CB radios, (some people put the box behind the drivers seat) forget it! You can really go sterile if you are kicking out alot of power in those suckers.

    Yep, I learned in Anatomy today that truck drivers and men who wear tight underwear have low sperm counts.

    Think of it as a form of geek birth control...as if us geeks need to worry about that.

    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.
