laptop

Yes and No both Yes, the extra heat applied to the genitals by actually using a laptop on your lap can kill off some sperm. But the effect is only going to last as long as the laptop is there. So, if you are using laptop for mostly an hour per day in your lap it won't effect much.. You can go through : http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/laptop.asp Here is the article which I have read from : http://www.littlewhitedog.com/article4082.html 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. The findings were reported in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal, Human Reproduction.

i never keep it on my lap and i keep it on my table or if ever i put on my lap i use protection. Laptop bag!!!!!!. Wel, i dont know this is true or not but seeing the material used in laptop, this seems a dangerous thought

I guess it is the heat that kills the sperm. Some laptop are ridiculously hot, especially at the vent area.

From what I know, sperms prefer a cool place or lower temperature to live. Thats why our testes are outside our body as our body temperature are too hot for the sperms to live. Laptops emit heat, hence when it is placed on the lap, the heat make sperms harder to live. Laptop will also emit radiation, hence sperms are harmed by the heat and radiation from laptop. It is better to place the laptop on desk rather than on lap :)

hmmmm i don't know thats the first time i heard that.

Opps!! i had never heard like that.. Somebody try to answer sure it.

i think yes, but it doesn't matter to me as i ain't got a laptop. i have a personal computer and i can't put it on my laps lol. but yes laptop can kill your sperms as it produces heat and overheat kills sperms. so don't keep your laptops on your laps always keep them on bed or where ever you are.
