Do you mean a phone in your pocket, when not actively in use during calls or texting etc, gets warm enough to affect tissue a couple of cm away from it? That seems a bit unlikely, no?
- DanBC 11y agoI'm not sure "unlikely" is the right word. There's a lot of advice to men to wear boxers, not briefs, because "briefs raise temperature". This article (1999) says it's not proved: http://edition.cnn.com/HEALTH/men/9906/14/men.infertility/ http://edition.cnn.com/HEALTH/men/9906/14/men.infertility/ This article gives two reports that did show an effect: (2015) http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/men-those-tightie-whities-really-are-killing-your-sperm-count/ http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/men-those-tightie-whitie... Having something warm in your pocket, which also makes everything a bit tighter, may increase temperature a bit. And raised temperature might be bad. So it's not smoking gun, but it's not totally implausible.
