OH NOOOOO!!!

From MSNBC

LONDON - Teenagers and young men should keep their laptops off their laps because they could damage fertility, an expert said on Thursday.

Laptops, which reach high internal operating temperatures, can heat up the scrotum which could affect the quality and quantity of men’s sperm.

“It shows that scrotal hyperthermia is produced by both special body posture and the local heating effect of laptop computers,” Sheynkin said.

A serious case of laptop burn was reported in a letter published in a medical journal two years ago after a 50-year-old man burned his penis while using a laptop balanced on his legs for an hour, despite wearing trousers and underpants.

Sort of brings new meaning to the term "hot nuts" eh???
 
Well, don't see what the point of this is, it's just heat and can apply to many other things. Like a hot shower, dip in a spa, 100+ temp day.
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm too young to be sterile :eek:

dont worry, the p-M's run cool

I wonder how long it took the guy to realize he was getting burned. It can't be that hard to notice.... unless he was completely numb... then it might not be.
 
First of all, I think the "doctor" who did that study is a fucking quack. Whenever my Laptop is on my lap it's NOWHERE near my junk. That, and the laptops that are meant to be used on your lap wouldn't get hot enough to damage your junk anyway. Now DTR notebooks I'd wager they could get hot enough to burn you especially if you're blocking the exauhst or intake of the system's cooling fans. I reckon the bottom of my Laptop doesn't touch 90 degrees and I doubt that's hot enough to harm your junk.

even if i gave him one i dont think he would put it in the right place.....

my boss has no clue about anything thats going on
I do my thing and make him look good and my budget does not get questioned
and he keeps happy looking trough the cache on the squid server (1TB, 8x160gb)
which is progressively becomming one of the worlds largest porn caches.... stupid office "we trust you to be doing the right thing" policy means dam near everyone is surfing porn every day

it's not just heat from your laptop. you have a scrotum so that your boys can rest outside your body where the temperature is a few degrees below body temperature. as you may have noticed, men usually sit with their legs slightly open which helps the boys cool off. however, when using a laptop, the users legs are usually closed closer together which effectively means that the scrotum is surrounded by your thighs. the effect is that the scrotum remains nearly as warm as the rest of the body, which is negates the benefit of the scrotum and results in the production of a few less swimmers.
 
right, which means the laptop doesn't have a damn thing to do with it except for being the reason a guy's legs would be closed in the first place.

when I'm sitting with my laptop on my lap (rare occurance that it may be) the boys are never near the damn laptop... I'm having a hard time figuring out the... uh... geometry of this problem.

my nuts are not on top of my lap, my laptop doesn't heat the bottom of my legs, so my logic is the laptop doesn't have a damn thing to do with it anymore so than holding a book or tv dinner tray on my lap.

True. I'm no doctor, but I thought the effects of heat on "da boys" didn't cause permanent fertility problems. Once they get cooled down they work just fine. I'm overdue for a physical, so I guess I'll be finding out from my doctor if my use of a Laptop is causing me any problems.
 
Heh I dont think i've ever been able to use a laptop comfortably with it resting in my lap. I use the "hold it with right hand and type with left hand" method.

.....Then again, having a subnotebook kinda helps ...

change it to laptops can cause arthitis. what about the people with dtrs ouch
 
there was this thing i watched on TV about these guys that devoted their boys to a study on the temp sensitivity of sperm. they apparently spent X amount of time a day dunking their boys in either hot or cold water. after a week all their sperm that came out were DEAD, at least 99.5% dead. it was an efffective birth control. as soon as they stopped the "dunking" their sperm count went right back to normal.

so using a laptop on your lap for a few hours every day seems like it could very well do the same thing. sperm are fragile, heat will kill them.
 
Someone please buy me a laptop!?!?!?

I love my daughters but dont need any more babies for a while!!!

:)
 
Damn I must be sterile with my 17" lcd 10lb desktop replacement. Hey.. it probably not a bad thing tho... as long as it still works. :)

[..::magnetik::..]
 
Ok, who's going to sue because there was no warning label besides that the laptop can get hot, since you'd take it off obviously once it gets too hot, but the damage is done already down there before that point.

I'm just joking of course.
 
Thats why I sit it either on top of one leg towards my knee or put the edges of it on my legs well away from the important stuff. It's too uncomfortable to rest it right above my nuts.
 
That's funny, I use my laptop like crazy and it sure gets hot. It hasn't stop wife and i from making copies( if you know what I mean) were on our ninth project>translation> ninth baby on the way, hahahaha
 
Maybe [H] could include a sperm count in the next laptop review. I wonder if ultra- portable are less damaging then DTR's, think about it, a heavy laptop might cut the blood supply. I agree with Mr Evil, this docs a quack
 
well I can think of one other way they could cause sterility. There were a few cases where the lithium ion battery exploded oh god that would hurt :eek:

If the battery explodes in your lap, sterilty is probably the least of your problems.
