it's impossible to imagine a modern socially active man who's not used cellphones and Wi-Fi might that be harmful for male fertility my last video I talked about how the sperm of men who use Wi-Fi tend to not be getting along as swimmingly well but that was an observational study we don't really know if Wi-Fi actually damaged your sperm until you put it to the test the title kind of gives it all away but basically this was the first study to evaluate the direct impact of laptop use on a human sperm here's the DNA fragmentation in samples near and far away from a laptop with an active Wi-Fi connection suggesting one might not want a positional Wi-Fi device near the male reproductive organs yeah Wi-Fi exposure may decrease human sperm motility and increase sperm DNA fragmentation but the effect is minor I mean it's having 10 percent fewer good swimmers really gonna make a difference and a fertile men release hundreds of millions what is yet to be done is a study looking at bouncing baby endpoints and do men randomized to a certain exposure have a tougher time having children it's actually a harder study to perform the one might think you can't just have men avoid cell phones and laptops for a day and yes we make millions of new sperm a day but they take months to mature the sperm with which you conceive today started as a preconceived notion months before so you can imagine why such a study has yet to be done you'd have to randomize men to essentially avoid wireless communications completely or maybe come up with some kind of a Faraday cage underwear another reason why one may not want to use a laptop computer on your lap is just the heat generated by the laptop itself or Wi-Fi or not can warm men's scrotums undermining the whole point of scrotum position in the first place this all dates back to a famous series of experiments back in 1968 it was an illuminating study one might say sometimes they add a reflector to boost the heat though the bulb alone was just as effective but they had to move it closer to the skin much simpler but more likely to result in a Jerry Lee Lewis song but now we have nice cool fluorescence but heated car seats remain a testicular heat stress factor saunas aren't a good idea for men trying to conceive sperm counts before and after apparently cutting sperm production a and a half and still down three months later but apparent full recovery by six months but that's why boxers not briefs or go all commando who makes money on that though that's why we need a scrotal cooling device industry though this review noted that more acceptable scrotal cooling techniques really need to be developed why whatever are they referring to it seems the device is currently on the market are not so practical day-to-day there's the curve dat rubber collar filled with ice cubes another was just like a freezer gel pack inserted into the guy's underwear every night not to worry though it thaws and three to four hours tops holy snowballs Batman do not I repeat do not put an ice pack on your scrotum a few frozen peas and character you can frostbite yourself see sometimes even vegetables can be bad for you then there's the schmidt sir it keeps the scrotum damp and finally attached with the belt achievement of scrotal cooling with a continuous air stream with so many options to choose from do laptop users really need protection from scrotal hyperthermia miedo no until you put it to the test and indeed an increase in scroll temperature was found in laptop computer users scrotal there's up a feverish 5 degrees Farenheit little scrotal warmth doesn't sound that bad though then I read this case report previously healthy 50 year old scientists typing out a report one evening sitting comfortably in his favorite chair laptop in a lap but woke up the next day with blisters penile and scrotal blisters that didn't broke and developed into infected wounds that caused extensive using pus even third-degree burns have been reported requiring surgical intervention with skin grafts the guy drank 12 units of vodka and passed out while watching a film on his lap in the laptop burned through his leg the surgeons call for a public education campaign to educate the public against the risks of using a laptop in its most literal sense how about instead educating the public against drinking 12 units of vodka you
