Dudes lets talk: Can laptops cause male infertility?

Over the week, we got the following question from one of our aid fans who wanted to find out so desperately if the following question was true or a myth.

Question:

As a man, I’ve heard people say using a laptop on your leg(thigh) can cause infertility. Is this true?

Answer:

According to CBSNews, “It’s possible for laptops to cause male infertility – at least temporarily. A hot laptop on the lap can raise the temperature of a guy’s scrotum, and high scrotal temperatures could kill sperm. That’s why couples who are trying to conceive are often told that the man should avoid hot tubs and switch from briefs to boxers.”

So there you have it. Dudes, stay away from laptops if you want to have kids!
