The first paragraph in the article says: 'Fertility experts are warning man that using a mobile for as little as an hour a day is "cooking sperm" and lowering level significantly.' Assuming for the sake of argument that the findings of this research are actually correct, it seems to me that using your mobile phone more would reduce the sperm-cooking effect, because most ways of actually using a mobile phone don't involve holding it near your groin. The reported effect is large enough that I strongly suspect it's (1) just wrong or (2) actually caused by some other thing that happens to correlate with mobile phone use. The Telegraph article doesn't seem to provide a link to the actual study, so it's hard to tell. I notice that they say "The team monitored more than 100 men attending a fertility clinic for a year" -- it's hard to see how any study based only on looking at men who are having trouble conceiving could actually provide the information the Telegraph is suggesting this one does.
