A study published this week (PDF) in the Journal of Andrology claims that prolonged exposure to cellular phone radiation may reduce sperm count and overall reproductive health in male humans and animals.

Though the study cautions that much more research is needed, the conclusions are rather stark for male cell phone users: avoid carrying the device in your front pocket.

Scientists looked at users who regularly carried a phone in the front pocket versus those who did not, finding that the closer the phone was to the genitals, the lower the man’s sperm concentration was, along with reductions in sperm motility and overall health.

The study also looked at rats exposed to cell phone radiation for six hours a day over the course of four months, discovering that they showed a 25 percent reduction in overall sperm count when compared to rats who weren’t exposed to the radiation.

  1. Your sperm count drops after the brain cancer kills you and your body rotts away.

  2. That’s good news, the government should give free cell phones to everyone in da hood. Oh dats right they have safelink fo dat.

  3. we already know that cell phones are now considered a class 2B carcinogen. They are just as just as likely to give you cancer as gasoline and pickles.

  4. Another story vindicating my now over decade long refusal to bow to pressure and get a cellphone despite everyone calling me paranoid and tin-foil hatter.

    A tin foil hat wouldn’t do any good against a cellphone anyway, you would need tin foil underwear.

    • DSon’t have one, never will.
      I used to work with radiation in the military and got to see films of folks who got too much. Films the public never gets to look at. It left me with a healthy respect for all forms of radiation.
