Sci/Tech WiFi may damage sperm quality: Study

[tom_mai78101]

WiFi technology may cause a major handicap for men hoping to build a family: sperm damage.

A team of Argentine scientists led by Conrado Avendano of the Nascentis Center for Reproductive Medicine in Cordoba found that placing drops of semen from healthy men under a laptop connected wirelessly to the Internet kills or maims the little swimmers.

The scientists reported their findings this month in the medical journal Fertility and Sterility.

After four hours next to the WiFi-connected computer, 25% of the sperm had stopped moving and nine percent showed DNA damage.

This is unsettling.

I've got a Wi-fi station on top of my PC, which is right next to me. GG

no need to fear nerds!(who are not getting laid anyways...) its just the heat from the laptop not the wifi itself

Read the article.

After four hours next to the WiFi-connected computer, 25% of the sperm had stopped moving and nine percent showed DNA damage.

By comparison, semen kept at the same temperature but away from the computer showed just a 14% drop in mobility and only 3% suffered DNA damage.

Mhm yeah. Sperm reproduces everyday so it doesn't matter. Don't do your router before doing your girlfriend.

lol. What am I to do for foreplay now?

but seriously, it's never good when something can effect the dna in cells. It's easier to see in sperm cells but it means that it can essentially be a cause of cancer in other cells.

Good. Maybe less people will have kids now.

 

[DDRtists]

Sweet! Thats much cheaper than other methods

True, population is getting too big

After four hours next to the WiFi-connected computer, 25% of the sperm had stopped moving and nine percent showed DNA damage.

So roughly 1/3 of my sperm are useless after FOUR hours of wifi exposure? That's a long time, and I'm sure they placed the sperm directly next to the source of the wifi.

Not worried, not planning to have kids for a lil while anyways.

Win-Win-Situation

The WiFi strength is TOO DAMN HIGH

Pretty much my thoughts. Or, even better, sit with it for the entire day. Free contraceptive. XD

 

[Wummi]

Alright. Don't want to get your girlfriend pregnant? Teabag your router a few minutes before you do her.

 

[Varine]

... well... I guess I'm fucked on the kid front then.

This made me seriously LOL!
