Can resting a laptop on your balls cause any problems?
I saw somewhere recently that overexpose to saunas and steam rooms aren't good for your balls because they're meant to be at a cooler temperature or something. I'd think the same principle applies to laptops, my mbp gets pretty fucking hot sometimes.
it's true. Our body temp is at about 36 degrees Celsius, for the sperm to be created properly, they need to be at about 34 degrees. which is why they hang off our body.
Overexposure to heat like that causes a problem. Learnt that shit in Bio 12!
Past studies have suggested that higher scrotal temperatures caused by such things as tight underwear, prolonged car driving, hot baths and exercise, can damage sperm and affect fertility. Other causes may include pesticides, smoking and obesity.
from the article ^^
looks like every fat guy has an excuse to not exercise now!
Some laptops contain a radioactive isotope of Radium, but VERY VERY VERY minute amounts of it. It would take you one year of resting it on your lap to recieve 0.5mSv of radiation. Your yearly allowance of radiations is 20mSv. Even if you recieve 20 mSv in a year, nothing will happen. You would get a little sick, feel better, and get sick as if you had a stomach virus.
