According to a new research, you shouldn’t rest a laptop on your penis because it can damage your fertility over time. Young men and teenagers are fond of putting these gadgets on their laps, which is not recommended. The devices often reach high internal temperatures during operations hence they can heat up your scrotum.
The high heat often affects the quality and quantity of your sperms. According to Dr. Yefim Sheynkin, an associate professor of urology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Men who rest laptops on their penis are likely to end up showing poor performance in bed because of the sperm effect.
"The increase in scrotal temperature is significant enough to cause changes in sperm parameters," he argues. The scholar further argues that it is hard to predict how long the device should sit on your laps while operating the same.
"It is very difficult to predict how long the computer can be used safely," he told Reuters. It is often advisable to place something on your laps in order to prevent the heat from reaching your laps.
Although the amount of heat released can be negligible, persistent usage of overheating device can cause you harm in the long run.
