Despite the name, laptops do not belong on laps

Glow

Research shows that when men place laptops directly on their laps, it can increase the temperature of the scrotum and decrease sperm production.

I told my husband this before we even got married but he never believed me but when he got fertility testing the doctors told him the same thing and he doesn't do it anymore

Omg my husband does the same thing. To make matters worse, he saw a urologist who told him that it was a myth that sperm were affected by heat 😡

Yellow #5 in things like mountain dew and yellow m&ma's has been known to decrease sperm count also. Coffee is not too good for them either. I don't remember exactly where I read this but it was on some fertility site a while back.
