Study says men who are constantly using cellphones have difficulty fathering children

OK guys, if you've dreamed about fathering a child, you better get off your cellphones.

There's a new study out that says that men who spend more than four hours a day placing and receiving calls on their cellphones will suffer from low sperm counts and will have difficulty being able to father a child. The results of the study were made public at this week's American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) meeting in New Orleans.

It is believed that the electromagnetic radiation emitted by handsets, as well as the heat they generate, are the main causes for the debilitating effect. According to the report, men who use cellphones for more than four hours a day had a 25 percent lower sperm count than men who never used a cellphone.

In other words guys, if you want to be called "Daddy" by a little girl or boy in the future, get off your cellphones!

'Nuff said.
