Mild: There is a mild risk of electromagnetic radiation. This is particularly important to men, since it may cause reduction in sperm motility and increase in fragmentation of the dna in the sperm.

Laptops on Laps: Laptops also generate a significant amount of heat that can over time interfere with sperm production. Laptops are not meant for laps, particularly if you are trying to conceive a child.
