Male fertility and cell phone use

[Flava]

"Researchers have found that while cell phone use appears to increase the level of testosterone circulating in the body, it may also lead to low sperm quality and a decrease in fertility."

I'm glad you brought this up because I've read some stuff that says if you carry your cell in your pants pocket, the radiation from it can actually lower your sperm count. I had forgotten about that but for awhile there I was constantly nagging my teenage sons not to carry their cells in their pockets because I want grandkids someday!!! ("Mom, you're embarrassing me!!) DS 2 was actually !!!sleeping!!!! with it in his pocket all night!!!

"Mom, you're embarrassing me!!"

Ha, ha, that reminds me: when I was young I had a friend whose dad was a seacaptain, and all his mates were seacaptains too. Apparently, not a single one of them had managed to produce a boy, and they were saying they suspected it was due to them standing by the radar all day. So there you go !
