Experts say the tests work at an optimum temperature of around 35°C (95°F), or two degrees cooler than body temperature.
Laptops users can reach their operating temperatures of over 70°C (158°F). So placing it directly in your lap can transfer some of that heat to the testes.
The relation between laptops and male fertility is that the years of heavy laptop use ‘may cause irreversible or partially reversible changes in male reproductive function’.
Testicles can be protected by the shield from the heat, but only for a short period of time. Doctors recommend using your laptop on a desk or table instead.
