Can Laptops Really Cause Low Sperm Count In Men?

I heard of this from somewhere, I really can't recall where. But a few years ago when I was trying to conceive, I remember hearing that the heat from the laptop can lower sperm count. I read that heat itself can cause a low count, but that was the first time I heard about laptops. My cousin with 7 kids want another kid right now, and she's trying to find out about the dos and donts for conceiving. I know one thing, I had my last one for a very long time. I got three words for myself-"time out sister" no more for now.

The heat does have a factor in sperm count that is why you should not let your boys wear tight pants or underwear because too much heat can cause infertility but also the extreme cold can do the same. Because laptops give off alot of heat it is not good for them to be placed on the lap and there was a recent news story that stated that in women they can cause infertility as well. so be careful
