Laptop computers affect mens fertility

Share

Is something burning, or are you just computing again? New research published in the medial journal Fertility and Sterility (Nov 2010) reveals that laptop computers can roast a man’s testicles to the point where sperm production (and quality) starts to drop.

To conduct the study, researchers placed temperature sensors on the scrotums of 29 men, then asked those men to use laptop computers on their laps. It didn’t take long before scrotum temperatures rose to levels known to damage sperm production — just 10 to 15 minutes of computing time.

Staying cool means staying fertile

Testicles are supposed to stay cool. And I don’t mean “wow, that’s cool” but rather that they are supposed to remain a degree or two below body temperature in order to maximize sperm production. When the testes get too hot — even with as little as a one degree Centigrade rise in temperature — sperm production starts to fall. Using a laptop computer on your lap can cause temperatures to rise by 2.5 C in one hour, according to this research.

And the men in the study didn’t even notice the rise in temperature, by the way. Probably because they were too busy updating their Facebook pages with comments like, “Check it out, I’m actually getting paid to roast my nuts for the advancement of science!”

In the world of temperature-sensitive sperm production, 2.5 C is equivalent to a scrotum barbeque cook-off. And all it takes is a little laptop computing to send temperatures soaring.

Cooling pads didn’t help

Surprisingly, even using a laptop cooling pad didn’t help, researchers reported. Scrotum temperatures still rose just the same.

Reuters reported that Belkin International, Inc., makers of laptop computer cooling pads, “…did not wish to comment on the new findings.” (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUS…)

No surprise there. This is dangerous territory for marketers. After all, there’s really no way to spin this story in a positive direction. Even if Belkin unleashed ads such as, “Feeling the heat? We keep your scrotum cool,” they would be hit with complaints about lewd marketing tactics.

It turns out the biggest determining factor of whether a laptop computer heats up your testicles is your leg position while computing. I’m not making this up: Researchers found the best position was to spread your legs wide while computing in order to dissipate heat and cool your man-crotch.

Stay cool, dude

The bottom line in all this, guys, is that when it comes to your testes, hot is bad, cool is good. Keep things “breezy” down there, in other words, and you just might have children one day.

And for all the women reading this who have men you’re trying to conceive with, you might explain to them that in addition to fried foods and pharmaceuticals damaging sperm quality, now they have to worry about where they’re holding their laptop computers, too. If you catch your man with a computer on his lap, shove some ice packs down the front of his shorts until he gets the message. I guarantee you this will get his attention.

Because men who can’t keep their junk cool are actually practicing a form of laptop birth control. Although the drop in sperm quality from laptop heat isn’t considered permanent, it’s technically a form of short-term sperm suppression. Sort of like soaking your sack in a hot tub for twenty minutes (hopefully with the rest of your body along with it).

  1. its okay so that buchende is reduced. laptop will counter what viagra and blue diamond does to men and libido. maybe even hiv will reduce

  2. ala aya ama eggs ya nsele yalishupa. With this global warming i would advise tropical climate dwellers to invent cooler box bambas

  3. #2 Lady Gaga – Ubuchende can not be reduced just because your nut sack is constanly warm. They are supposed to be cool simply in order to maximize sperm production. I tied my ntwenu a while ago but I can still pound 3 times a day at 100 percent capacity and that includes mornings, drive back home for lunch and before I go to bed. So tell me, how good is that?

  4. Adedo-Madando iyo e’ boom. Nangu ama nuts yakabe shani, ukulya kwena kuti walya. Abena Gaga, ubuchende teti bupwe pantu yama nuts ukukaba…

  5. by the way, damage to male cells does not necessarily lead to reduced function or performance per se. you may want to remember that hormones (that keep you active and with stamina) continue being produced by other non-sex support cells! oooops sorry to those who thought this laptop issue will counter the viagra things. …

  6. Some of us have been using laptops for the past 10 yrs, how come Iam still firing live cartridges? (9 children & still counting) Guyz, I know how hammer women. With or without laptop. This is a stupid reseach

  7. Some of us have been using laptops for the past 10 yrs, how come Iam still firing live cartridges? (9 children & still counting) Guyz, I know how to hammer women. With or without laptop. This is a stupid reseach

  8. So, according to this medical research, does it imply that Chinese population never use laptops-instead they use desk tops?
