Full Version: mobile phones affect male cemen's properties ?
| QUOTE |
| Carrying a mobile phone can reduce a man's sperm count by as much as 30 per cent, according to Hungarian scientists. The study suggests that the radiation from a phone on a belt or in their pocket, even on standby, is enough to have an effect on both sperm count, and the mobility of surviving sperm. |
| QUOTE |
| Dr Imre Fejes of the University of Szeged in Hungary led the research. He reported that the average sperm counts of men who were very active phone users was around 59 million per millilitre of seminal fluid, compared with 83 million for the men without phones. |

LOL!
This is funny because I was married twice before, for a total of 13 years, and never had any children with either ex.
Fast forward to Xmas 1997, and I get my 1st cell phone -with leather case that clips to my belt- and start wearing it everywhere.
Result? My GF visits me in CA 2 months later (in February), and by early March she is pregnant!
Still carrying my cell phone everywhere... and 4 months after the birth of my daughter my sweetie is pregnant AGAIN!!!
"Hey Doc! Two kids in 13 months is enough, alright? Snip my tubes, willya?"
Shit. Shoulda just trashed my phone. That coulda done it!!!

LOL @ ManX
This is funny because I always used to carry my phone in my pocket and wondered if it could cause any harm down there. But the minute my wife went off the pill, BAM! she gets pregnant. Then, my little girl is born and is absolutely perfect.
Go figure!

so by these we should draw the conclusion that the effect is actually the opposite ? 
^ haha yep - and our study is sooo much more complete than the swiss guy!!
anyway sounds like another study looking for a bit of press - be interesting to read but like most things its more sensationalised than truth... imo.
Awai.

well, some scientists had commented that they hadnt taken into account the possibility of stress-factor among others which could also have been affecting that

and that's probably much more important than the phone-factor..... besides, a fella's count can vary a great deal week to week, day to day, on a cycle, and is hugely related to his stress, amount of rest, and diet.... my bet? just take good care of yourselves - stay healthy, and get enough rest, and don't worry about your phone.
My brother has a virtual cell phone fetish and cannot have children. I never had a cell phone and am the opposite extreme in fertility.
