Does holding a laptop on my lap reduce my sperm count?

Only if it is hot: Increased heat to the testes can have an effect on the sperm count. Otherwise use of a laptop shoulf not affect the sperm count.

No: There is no evidence that even prolonged laptop use can affect sperm count or fertility at all.
