Is your laptop cooking your gonads?

Whoever invented the 'laptop' probably didn't worry too much about male reproductive health.

Turns out, unsurprisingly, that sitting with a computer on your lap will crank up the temperature of your nether regions, which could affect sperm quality.

And there is little you can do about it, according to the authors of a study out today in the journal Fertility and Sterility.

The researchers hooked thermometers to the scrotums of 29 young men who were balancing a laptop on their knees. They found that even with a lap pad under the computer, the men's scrotums overheated quickly.

So far, no studies have actually tested how laptops impact men's fertility, said Sheynkin, and there is no bulletproof evidence that it would. But earlier research has shown that warming the scrotum more than one degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) is enough to damage sperm.

Now all those young video playing, porn addicted losers living in mama's basement won't be able to reproduce. Thinning of the herd perhaps? :lol:

Non-physical activity and obesity is a much bigger problem when it comes to the connection between Computer and Human.

As for the reproduction: In some decades there will be abundant chili-cojones around to choose from. Gringostan.
 
I have no idea what you're talking about, but I imagine many of those basement dwellers are surfing porn on their sofa's while watching the Cartoon Network. Perhaps we need a larger study. :lol:

i am talking about the group which is probably most endangered by the heat of laptops to the scrotum.

this would be the group of computer users who actually own a laptop and use them on their laps for extended times.

you are just trying to slam a group and try to feel superior that way.

i think you should install ubuntu.
 
Because gonads are funny. That's why.

And only basement dwellers would find the subject matter offensive. Thou protests too much methinks.

They also advise you not to shower to hot. It has the same effect. It's commonly known that heat is not good for the middle-part.

Still, your connection to basement dwellers makes no sense. That kind of guys usually are gamers, who need graphic cards which do not fit into a laptop.

chanel probably thinks solitaire is the game the gamers play. or minesweeper. or sudoku.
 
SOMETHING surely is

Worldwide spern viability is going down, folks.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether semen quality has changed during the past 50 years.

DESIGN: Review of publications on semen quality in men without a history of infertility selected by means of Cumulated Index Medicus and Current List (1930-1965) and MEDLINE Silver Platter database (1966-August 1991).

SUBJECTS: 14,947 men included in a total of 61 papers published between 1938 and 1991.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mean sperm density and mean seminal volume.

RESULTS: Linear regression of data weighted by number of men in each study showed a significant decrease in mean sperm count from 113 x 10(6)/ml in 1940 to 66 x 10(6)/ml in 1990 (p < 0.0001) and in seminal volume from 3.40 ml to 2.75 ml (p = 0.027), indicating an even more pronounced decrease in sperm production than expressed by the decline in sperm density.

CONCLUSIONS: There has been a genuine decline in semen quality over the past 50 years. As male fertility is to some extent correlated with sperm count the results may reflect an overall reduction in male fertility. The biological significance of these changes is emphasised by a concomitant increase in the incidence of genitourinary abnormalities such as testicular cancer and possibly also cryptorchidism and hypospadias, suggesting a growing impact of factors with serious effects on male gonadal function.

The above may actually lead to solutions for many other problems facing humankind.

Or if it gets totally out of control, the above may lead to the solution for life on earth regarding how to get rid of the cancer called mankind.

It's really all a matter of your perspective regarding the importance of mankind in comparison to all life on earth.

The canines will probably miss us if we go extinct.

As to the rest of the species on earth?

I suspect they won't much mind.

only retards post retarded retard stuff like you.

hey, that was a joke, too.


just sayin. :lol:

And only people with limited vocabulary use phrases like "retarded retard stuff". Just saying.. Lay off the video games and read a book. :cool:

I've got a great idea. Maybe these laptop makers could market them as a male contraceptive. Then they would be covered under Obamacare. :lol:

Chanel always tries to find the silver lining.
