| Not sure if this is true but sure someone told me it's not so much the laptop that's the problem, but it's if you have wireless connection to the internet, that it emits waves (or whatever they are called!) that are similar to using a mobile. May be no truth in this though | | | | Status: Offline

May be no truth in this though | It's not the emissions of the laptop or the wireless, it's just the physical heat from the bottom of the laptop, which reduces the mobility of sperm and / or kills them.
It's okay to use a laptop still - just pop it on a thick pillow or don't let him put it on his lap  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | its also the heat from the oh's legs being close together that heats the swimmers up as well as the laptop |
