A recent study has shown that the use of a laptop computer on the lap of a male may cause infertility! Scientists at Stony Brook University Hospital have discovered that the male testes heat up after only an hour of laptop use, and the 4.9 degree Fahrenheit increase may be enough to impair fertility.
In an article published in the Journal of Human Reproduction, Dr Yefim Sheynkin writes that the body needs to maintain a proper testiscular temperature for normal sperm production.
Other studies have shown that even a two degree Fahrenheit change can disrupt sperm production. Laptops emit a lot of heat. Further studies are necessary. However, if you want to become a father, grand father or a great grand father, play it safe and warn the boys to keep their laptops on a desk, a table...or anywhere but on their laps!
