Good thing gays (well most of us gays, anyway) don’t have to worry about our sperm quality for procreation. This will mostly only affect the straights trying to breed. Via StudyFinds:
Men looking to start a family should spend less time on their phones, a new study warns. Researchers in South Korea have found that cell phone usage increases exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic waves that could damage sperm concentration, viability, and motility.
“Male cell-phone users should strive to reduce mobile phone use to protect their sperm quality,” says Yun Hak Kim, an assistant professor from Pusan National University, in a media release.
In this study, scientists looked at the amount of damage radiofrequency electromagnetic waves from modern-day cell phones may inflict on a user’s health.
The team conducted a new meta-analysis evaluating studies published from 2012 to 2021 that looked into cell phones’ effects on sperm quality. They found and reviewed data from 18 studies, encompassing 4,280 sperm samples. Results confirmed a link between cell phone use and a decrease in sperm motility, viability, and concentration.
