if you use a laptop for too long does this happen?

Ok, my friend just sent me an email with a link to a science article that says that if you use a laptop for too long, your jizz dries up. I am using a laptop right now. Is what the article says true?

Answer #1

Yes, it makes sense. Put your laptop on a desk. The risk is in having it close enough to heat your lap.

The info sounds valid to me..

The increasing popularity of laptop computers (LC), coupled with existing evidence that elevated scrotal temperature can result in sperm damage, prompted researchers from the State University of New York at Stony Brook to undertake the first study into the effect of heat from LC on scrotal temperature.

The findings are reported in Europe’s leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction[1]. They show that using an LC on the lap increased the left scrotal temperature by a median 2.6°C and the right by a median 2.8°C. Several previous studies have shown that increases in testicular or scrotal temperatures of between 1°C and 2.9°C are associated with a sustained and considerable negative effect on spermatogenesis and fertility.

ummm yeah ok heres a thought… just take it off your lap. put it on a table or put a pillow on your lap and the the computer on top of it. hey when in doubt ya know. ask your dr. too, it couldnt hurt. although honestly ya never know, they just started saying recently that women can get throat cancer from oral sex so who knows.

Answer #3

well it looks like I’m doomed to produce more kids based off what utopia said, I don’t know there’s a lot of studies that are done each other that say a lot of things, they’re probably all true in some way but I doubt your semen just dries up like a desert because you use your laptop on too long, that being said, I won’t be using a laptop anymore because I’m scared too

Answer #4

Better to know now and take precautions… Instead of waiting until it is too late… and I am female and a biochemist…

Answer #5

I know, thats what the article said.

I mean its kinda creepy, because I might be unable to pass on my genes if you get my drift.

Answer #6

yea, thanks anyways

Answer #7

No it does because, because laptops generate heat and my sperm cells might dry up.

Answer #8

Answer #9
