ª
 
The article discusses the risk that the use of laptop computers involves especially for men. According to scientists, it seems that the high temperature coming from the laptop, may be very harmful for man''s fertility.
Studies shown that keeping a laptop on the lap increases the temperature of the scrotum by around 2.7 C. And other studies shown the fact that the increase in scrotum temperature by 1-2.9 C has a negative effect on fertility. As most people keep their laptop on the lap, the most comfortable position, the number of affected men may be quite large and in a process of increasing- it seems that the number of laptop computer users tends to be larger than that of desktop computers users.
