Cell phones emit low level radiation which was once thought to be harmless. Studies have since proved that this might be something that we want to look into much more closely.
A study was done with over 360 males divided into three groups, never used cell phone, less then two hours a day, more then four hours a day. This study showed shocking results that tests four categories, sperm count, motility, viability, appearance. To start, the study showed that the most frequent cell phone users has a 25% decrease in their sperm count on average in comparison to the males that never used a cell phone. Also a 1/3 decrease in the sperms ability to swim was found in frequent cell phone users. To top things off appearance was also effected with less the 1/5 of frequent cell phone users having normal looking sperm.
WHAT!!!!!!!!! that was my first thought after reading this. Before you freak out, first we have to realize that this is just a comparative test. There were a lot of variables that more then likely weren’t considered (smokers, foods and beverages consumed, etc.) that could lead to lower sperm count. Because of this we have to realize that these results probably aren’t 100% correct. I am not saying that this results aren’t true because I think they are but I believe that with a controlled test you might find the results to be a little higher or lower then these. Either way my cell phone just found a new home.....anywhere but my pocket!

Wow really interesting blog! Thats scary to think about, if you talk on the phone a lot your likely hood of having a kid is less. I'd definitely like to see if they do more studies on this, or I could just marry someone who isn't an frequent phone user =). Great job!
This blog makes me nervous because I have kept my phone in my pocket for about 6 or 7 years now. Its good information to know though. I should really find a new place to keep it. Why can't they just make cell phones that are not so dangerous?
They should defintely do more studies on this topic because cell phones have become a priority in a lot of peoples' lives. I'm sure any guy that reads your blog will get freaked out and avoid putting their phone in their pocket.
