Hmmm... now was it 450Mbps/300Mbps/150Mbps or regular Wifi b/g...

This could actually be a pretty good idea for couples who don't prefer rubber.

Just need to find girls allergic to latex, problem solved

 

[Atty]

Good. Dual purpose birth control.

 

[Jeff7]

This.

 

[shortylickens]

If I ever have sex again, will be sure to keep that in mind.

Bulllllllllllllllshiiiiiiiiiiiiit. That's all it is. The electromagnetic radiation has no direct harmful effect. The only possible way it could is through heating. And, testicle temperature is sufficiently well regulated in men. (Of course, the heat from a laptop can raise the temperature, leading to slightly reduced fertility.)

 

[Nintendesert]

More of this magical evil electromagnetic radiation doing evil and magical things. What a crock of shit.

 

[Lemon law]

The question is how important is this in the real world. its one thing to say a WIFI signal an inch away from a sperm sample may nuke the sperm. But if we increase the distance to a more realistic 24 inches, by the inverse square law, we are talking 1/576 the effect.

Good thing were moving through space and time right now and have electromagnetic fields around us at all times to keep out the ebil wifi death waves.

So how does my microwave oven actually work?

It's all the friction caused by being able to view porn from anywhere in the house.

This. :biggrin:

Poor little guys get beat on all day.

 

[child of wonder]

Good. I don't want any more kids.

 

[rudder]

Yeh I don't want any more kids and I don't want any sharp objects near my balls cutting things... so this works out good,

 

[zinfamous]

sperm in open petri dish vs sperm shielded by balls?

 

[Hugo Drax]

What if you put a layer of aluminium foil between your lap and the laptop. That should reflect the radiation.

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Good. Now give more WIFI to that big family that is on 19th child or something like that.

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

I hear it works good when made into a hat.

 

[Fayd]

I hear it works good when made into a hat.

now there's scientific reason to go around with an aluminum foil jock strap.

Testes and microwave = Randy in Medicinal fried chicken.

 

[MagickMan]

Free high power WiFi to all inner city residents. Sounds like a plan to me.

 

[Ms. DICKINSON]

Everything in science is a "may be." Try taking the antennae out to restrict radiation.

 

[bononos]

How does it work? By shrinking the balls? Sperm count levels have fallen by half compared to 50yrs ago.

Well, apparently they compared to samples stored at the same temperature to control for heat.

That said, it was a study of 29 men and there was a 14% breakdown in the control versus a 25% breakdown in the sperm under a laptop. That isn't much of a sample size and even then I don't agree with the alarming conclusion. I think a more accurate statement based on this data is "Wifi use may have a small to negligible effect on sperm quality...after it leaves your balls".
