-U.K. TimesScientists have linked portable computers and male infertility
BUSINESSMEN and teenage boys could be risking their fertility by using laptop computers, research suggests.
The combination of heat generated by the computers and the posture needed to balance the equipment on the lap leads to raised temperatures around the scrotum, a study has found. Past research shows that higher scrotal temperatures can damage sperm and affect fertility. And the introduction of new technology such as Bluetooth and infrared connections — which provide wireless links to the internet — has resulted in a growing number of men using the machines on their thighs rather than at a desk.
To keep the testicles at an ideal temperature — and for greater comfort — men naturally sit with their legs further apart than women. When working on a laptop, however, they will adopt a less natural position in order to balance it on their laps, which results in a significant rise in body heat between their thighs.
The study found that within the first 15 minutes of using a laptop, scrotal temperatures had increased by 1C (33.8F).
“Until further studies provide more information on this type of thermal exposure, teenage boys and young men may consider limiting their use of laptop computers on their laps, as long-term use may have a detrimental effect on their reproductive health,” Dr Sheynkin said.

So the purpose for this post would be exactly what davey?
Your eternal search for "free" crap says a lot about you. Your willingness to sell out your reputation and friends in this quest says even more. When forced to apologize you make a production out of it. When forced to follow the rules you change your sigtag into an insult. You are a spiteful, hopeless, grasping little man and you seek validation and acceptance from people who don't know you. Is that because you don't recieve these things from the people in your life who do know you?
NA
