Is it true that a laptop on your lap(no pun intended) causes problems to the scrotum ?

Heat: Testicles can be slowly harmed by chronic heat. Descended testicles are slightly below body temp. Undescended testicles become sterile and are prone to cancerous change. Laptop heat can thus be a risk, if terribly prolonged.

No Studies done yet.: But its not a healthy posture, it may affect your neck, shoulders and lower back. Good Posture working on your laptops is very important for your health. We have to wait and see if it affects negatively on the Scrotum.
