Freakin out about my laptop!!!

I'm a 20 year old male and I've been using a laptop for 3 years now and I'm really starting to freak out. Yesterday, after putting the laptop on my lap, my balls felt kind of sore from the heat. So I JUST recently learned about male infertility caused by laptop heat. Why wasn't I warned about this before? Now I'm afraid I've caused irreversible damage that has made me sterile. Anyone know anything about this?

I don't know much about it but I believe if you stop putting it on your lap that it can help.  I don't know if it's irreversible and highly doubt that its permanent damage since sperm is constantly being produced.  It's the same as the reason they recommend wearing boxers and they say much improvement is seen after men stop wearing tighty whities.  

So good luck, and keep that laptop on the table!!

I've never heard of this.   Seems ridiculous.    If you're worried, get a semen analysis.   I'm sure you're fine.

Also your sperm is constantly manufactured    What's there now, will be replaced by new guys next week.   I think this would have been on the news by now though if it were an issue.    Just stay away from microwaves.

It's most likely very reversible.  Like the other ladies said, sperm is constantly replenished.  You may have killed the ones in there at the time but I'm sure today, there is a whole new crew.  Don't freak out, I'm sure your fine.  Shoot, men who are a whole lot more careless father crazy amounts of kids. =)

yvette is right i think it take 74 days from when sperm is (for lack of a better term) born to whenit is ejaculated so wait 80 days and go get a seman analasis its like 80 bucks
