I'm a bit annoyed how the article doesn't mention anywhere if this effect is permanent or not, which is a key to the level of severity of this problem.
Can a man stop carrying the phone in his pocket and have his sperm levels go back to normal?
- icebraining 11y agoFrom the abstract, it doesn't seem they assessed that, they just found a correlation between the behaviour and the sperm quality.
- Kenji 11y agoAs far as I know, the quality would improve again (within at most months) if the source of heat has been removed. Cooks also have this problem when their crotch is around ovens all the time. Or people with varicoceles. Also, while I believe that there is a problem when the phone is in the pocket, I seriously doubt that a mobile would reduce sperm count if it's on the bedside table. Energy decreases in square distance and the mobile would have to send out huge amounts of energy to heat up something this far away.

- koralatov 11y agoI've never read the book, but I'm curious: did he do both at once, or independently then decide that both in combination gave the best result? If he stayed off his phone and took cold showers, without testing them separately, how do we know it wasn't the cold showers that gave the result, or the lack of phone?
