millbank Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Scientists have linked portable computers and male infertility BUSINESSMEN and teenage boys could be risking their fertility by using laptop computers, research suggests. The combination of heat generated by the computers and the posture needed to balance the equipment on the lap leads to raised temperatures around the scrotum, a study has found. Past research shows that higher scrotal temperatures can damage sperm and affect fertility. And the introduction of new technology such as Bluetooth and infrared connections — which provide wireless links to the internet — has resulted in a growing number of men using the machines on their thighs rather than at a desk. To keep the testicles at an ideal temperature — and for greater comfort — men naturally sit with their legs further apart than women. When working on a laptop, however, they will adopt a less natural position in order to balance it on their laps, which results in a significant rise in body heat between their thighs.

Alaska Darin Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Alright, who wants to chip in on the "Keep BF using a Laptop for Life" campaign? I'm in for $20. A little much needed chlorine for the gene pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
