So, is it true that keeping your laptop on your lap all the time can make you sterile?

Do many of you do so?

And what are your thoughts on this :|

I hate laptops. I'd much rather have a desk and a desktop. And it'll only make you sterile if it's a Sony and the battery explodes.

well eventually when you get a virus on the laptop it will transfer to you down under, so that in itself will pretty much make you sterile

If enough heat is exposed to your "area", then yes it's possible. Heat kills sperm. One thing I don't get is why do people worry about being sterile if all they want to do is have sex? Not trying to make children here. As long as the sexual desire is there, and you're still producing the same amount of prostatic fluid (it makes up the vast majority of the ejaculate), why does it really matter?

~-~I prefer to be comfortable so I disagree.:| But yea I like laptops, I'm using one now. I usually don't have it on my lap though, and if I do it's at an 80o angle since I'm leaning back so far, it's not like right on my crotch. PS: I want kids so it is something I look out for.~-~

So you think laptops are more comfortable than desktops? Weird....Anyhow, watch out for those exploding batteries. It's when you least expect it....

~-~I have to use a desktop at school and I don't see how that can be preferable to a laptop. I mean I'm friken kicking back on my bed. Oh look... I moved my head down a little and now I'm like ready for a nap. (But it's a ***** to type like this so I'm going back to my other position.) And my laptop is also on my bed so if my battery exploded it would just own my bed. Actually, this thing is so old my guess is the battery is too weak to cause any damage. But whatever, to each his own. Good luck with all that posture and back pain stuff.~-~

:lol:. I just like leaning back in a comfortable chair while I type and read. I couldn't imagine trying to Photoshop lying down. Your bed would be more than owned. It'd be screwed. You only get back pain if your posture is bad which can be solved with a good chair. I can be more attentive in a chair. But anywho, yes, to each his own. Good luck with that battery.

Doing that for a long time with my laptop, I'd probably get severely burnt....so yes, it would make me steril
