Scrotal Hyperthermia
The article I just finished is on laptop computers and scrotal hyperthermia. It is known that testicles function best at a temperature 2-4 ℃ less than core body temperature. If the testicles/scrotum are heated, sperm quantity and quality drops. In this study the effect of laptop computers on scrotal temperature was examined. They also examined whether a laptop shield and whether sitting with your legs together or apart (70°) influences scrotal temperature.
