The invention of laptops has changed the way we work around the
world.
Now that the
computer is mobile, we can literally and liberally work anywhere we want, in
the bed, at the park, at the cafe, and even in the car!!
The laptops, true
to its name is always placed on the lap for convenience and ease of
use. But with studies showing that male fertility could be impacted and
affected by placing laptops on laps, you might want to rethink the way you work
around the laptops.
Everyone knows the
intense heat generated by laptops after a few minutes of use, its almost no
surprise to researchers that they discovered that the heat is high enough to
affect sperm quality!
A 2004 study
conducted at the State University of New York led by Dr Yefim Sheynkin found
that placing laptops on the laps caused a 2.7 °C increase in scrotal temperature!
Having the thighs
placed close together to balance a laptop on the lap increases the scrotal
temperature even more!! That's almost a forest fire to the little swimmers!

The results were
linked to an earlier study that showed that sperm concentration dropped by 40%
when median daytime scrotal temperature rose by 1°C, suggesting that laptops on laps could
possibly affect male fertility in the long run.
Well then, guys!
time to take heed and avoid laptops on laps when you thinking of starting a
family!
Technology has
provided us convenience but its a give and take relationship.. So do take
precaution when dabbling in the conveniences of life!
