Men losing sperm from laptops

Laptops May Harm Men's Fertility

Fertility experts say teenage boys and young men should consider limiting the time that they use laptop computers positioned on their laps, as long-term use may affect their fertility.

Existing evidence shows raising the temperature near the scrotum can cause sperm damage, so researchers at State University of New York at Stony Brook decided to look at the effects of laptops.

Using one increased temperatures more than 2.5 degrees Celsius. Studies say that raising the temperature between 1 and 3 degrees can cause sustained damage to fertility.

"Laptops can reach internal operating temperatures of over 70 degrees Celsius. They are frequently positioned close to the scrotum, and as well as being capable of producing direct local heat, they require the user to sit with his thighs close together to balance the machine, which traps the scrotum between the thighs," said lead researcher Yefim Sheynkin.

Sheynkin said using a laptop could degress sperm generation and concentraion by 40 percent for every degree of heat added.

But, he cautioned, it's not known precisely what the effects will be.

"We don't know the exact frequency and time of heat exposure capable of producing reversible or irreversible changes," he said.

"Until further studies provide more information on this type of thermal exposure," he said, "teenage boys and young men may consider limiting their use of (laptop computers) on their laps, as long-term use may have a detrimental effect on their reproductive health."

damn...you better keep your boys away from the heat!!! I've heard that too much time in a jacuzzi will do the same thing...
Lesson: any heat source consistently on the balls is bad :p

DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.




GIRL:
Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

MUM:
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

MEN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
WOMEN:
If a sperm is wasted,...
CHILDREN:
...God get quite irate.

PRIEST:
Every sperm is sacred.
BRIDE and GROOM:
Every sperm is good.
NANNIES:
Every sperm is needed...
CARDINALS:
...In your neighbourhood!

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is useful.
Every sperm is fine.
FUNERAL CORTEGE:
God needs everybody's.
MOURNER #1:
Mine!
MOURNER #2:
And mine!
CORPSE:
And mine!

NUN:
Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
HOLY STATUES:
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

EVERYONE:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite iraaaaaate!

I looked at the topic of this thread and wondered why a man would keep sperm in a laptop.

Why would they study losing sperm to laptop computers, when they could have studied losing sperm to laptop dancers?

Is this the only way to get the men of the world to lift their head up from Grand Theft Auto when they travel???? Well, then so be it!


Poor little swimmers!

I thought it was going to be about other extracurricular activities that could make one lose sperm while looking at a computer............................http://www.baylorfans.com/ubb/blush.gif
