 Since guys don’t usually carry handbags, they tend to keep mobile phones in their pants pockets. A recent study from the University of Exeter suggests this may not be a great idea.
That cell phone could actually have a negative effect on your sperm quality.
The review looked at findings from 10 studies, that included almost 1,500 samples of semen. To evaluate the mens’ sperm quality, the scientists measured viability (the ratio of sperm that were alive), motility (the ability of sperm to move) and concentration (the number of sperm per unit of semen).
Compared to a control group, the percentage of sperm showing normal movement dropped by 8% among men who pocketed mobile phones. This group's sperm's ability to survive also decreased in about 9% of the samples.
The scientists write that the individual risk for sperm damage depends on how long a man keeps his phone in his pants and how much electromagnetic radiation the phone emits.

I seldom use a cell phone. Same here, if someone wants me they can ring me at home or work, only have a mobile for emergency calls. |

I see men and women out on dinner dates and they BOTH are on their phones texting...no conversation, just peck, peck, peck. Hubby and I laugh at that and think it is so rude! If a guy did that to me, I would get up and walk out.

I have a cell phone only ring for emergencies or if hubby and I can't each other in a shop.
I think it is rude when people sit down for a meal and all they do is text. Why go out?

What's really sad is when you see young couples out to eat with their young children and the children are ignored because both parents are too wrapped up with their phones.  |

For the first time ever when my crew came for Thanksgiving day dinner, I was annoyed. I walked into the living room to do something and every single one of them was on their phone. I stopped, grabbed a basket and went to each one and said drop it. I got "the look" and they got it right back. Needless to say, they spent the day without their phones.
