Sperm killers

Men who put computers on their laps risk infertility. A combination of the heat generated by a laptop and the position of the thighs that is needed to balance the computer leads to higher temperatures around a man's genitals and over time can result in decreased sperm production!

"Portable computers in a laptop position produce scrotal hyperthermia by both the direct heating effect of the computer and the sitting position necessary to balance the computer. Scrotal hyperthermia leads to decreased fertility."

Clearly laptops should be used as desktops if men want to protect their reproductive health.
