Could it be possible, will laptop computers be responsible for a generation of infertile men? It may sound far-fetched, but if the latest results from a new study prove to be true, it just might become a reality.

The latest findings, from a study by researchers at State University of New York at Stony Brook, suggests heat generated from laptop computers could be enough to impair male fertility.

Lear researcher Dr. Yefim Sheynkin, says the risk to male fertility comes from a combination of heat transferred to the scrotum and the posture needed to balance a laptop.


Sheynkin and colleagues were the first to look at the effect of heat from a laptop on male fertility. Using 29 male volunteers, the researchers found scrotal temperatures rose by 2.1 degrees Celsius when men balanced a laptop with their thighs tightly together. However, when the laptop was turned on, heat transfer increased scrotal temperature by 2.6 degrees Celsius on the left side, and 2.8 degrees Celsius on the right

4. Yes, all the atrocities that are taking place in this world ...

the abject poverty, starvation, senseless wars and seemingly endless death and destruction within many "hot areas" across the globe and these BIMBO MEDIA WANKS want to hyper focus on men with laptops.

How about you sell your f**kin laptop and send the money to the poor, you self absorbed sick sick people. :P
