There many myths and misconceptions that abound when it comes to male infertility.  And it looks like one which sounds bizarre may actually have some credence.

A recent Newswise article noted that researchers at Loyola University Health System (LUHS) released a statement that prolonged and excessive laptop usage could, in fact, contribute to male infertility.

There’s no need to chuck your laptop if you’re trying to conceive with a partner, however.  Instead, the people at LUHS recommended that men simply make certain they don’t rest their laptops on… well… their laps.  That way, the heat generated from the laptop is less likely to affect sperm production now or in the future.
