Maybe you've heard it. Maybe you haven't.
But from what I hear, dudes keeping cell phones in their front pockets must beware: sterilization is a risk.
I have no idea if it's real or just an urban legend, and if it's real, then I have no idea how long this "no baby-making" thing lasts.
I'm too lazy to go look up scientific information on whatever site scientific information might be found on.

I ask because a friend of mine has declared he no longer needs condoms because he keeps the cell phone in his front pocket. I'm curious not so much because I want to warn him or anything. More because I want to start a bet with another friend of mine on how long it will be before we're hanging out with a baby's daddy.

Oh God....it's 47 minutes into a new day, and already the idiocy has begun.

*takes Aspirin*

You know, I kind of hope he is sterile because I don't want anybody that dumb having kids.

Seriously, not using condoms? Unless you're pretty goddamn sure everybody you're fucking is safe and monogamous, that's a mind-numbingly bad idea.

You mean talking about UFOs didn't start it?

Which one sounds stupider, discussing a UFO that never showed up, or having sex without a condom because apparently the Interwebs told you that if you kept a cell phone in your front pocket, you're now sterile?

WOuldn't it be great if cell phones could increase the risk of sterility? Hell, even a 20 to 30% rate would please me to no end. But the idea of not needing a condom because of cell phones is double dumb. It's dumb because unless you get a wiggly count done with your doctor, you have no proof you're sterile. It's double dumb because I doubt cell phones kill HIV.

In conclusion, tell your friend to let you kick him repeatedly in the nuts. It'll probably be more likely to render him sterile and will be a lot more fun for both of you. .... okay, maybe just for you. ;)

... Sterilization. The UFOs part is more likely to happen.

The first, because you have a better chance of getting laid in the second. :p

Or that the only risk of unprotected sex is pregnancy?

Risk, or unanticipated bonus?

so back to the main question....lol
It is a false rumor because cellphones give of no harmful radiation, the only way it would be able to would be from heat exposure

Here s an article about what a long running international study has found about it.

And here is another article appreantly mobile phone radiation does to harm to people but no in the way that you think.

Quite. Remember the rule: Always wear a condom because you don't know where's she's been.

Tell your friend I find his idiocy amusing... and here's a shout out to his baby mamma! He'll either end up with a child(ren) or the clap!

5 to 1 he gets an STD first! Any takers?

I find it hard to believe that that's real.

It's not, but it was an elaborate enough hoax to make the news at the time.

it isn't real was a marketing ploy.

If this guy really wants to not have to worry about kids, tell him to carry around a chunk of Uranium rock in the pocket closest to his testicles for about 15 minutes.

Why didn´t this happen when my dad was fertile?:(

I keep my phone in my UPPER front pocket, so I think i'm fine. :p

but first tell him you read on the Interwebs that cell phones in the front pockets make the balls numb. then you can suggest to kick him to "test the theory".

We pointed out the risk of VD. Didn't seem to faze him. I say more power to him. I still trust Trojan Man.

I actually proposed a similar solution, but it involved a switchblade and was a little more permanent.

Electro sensitivity sounds like such bullshit to me, I'm pretty sure it's just severe hypochondriactism.

Your friend is a ridiculous idiot.


Only when he's sober.

Ahh, now here's someone who understands the meaning of brotherly camaraderie.

The scary thing is that he might be genuinely curious...

well then...

when he's on the ground screaming in pain, you can say "Guess that one wasn't true. you sure the sterile one is true?"

I dunno if he'd see the connection.

well, you could always keep hammering it until it either sinks in, or he's sterile

Even the urban legend has it that the cell phone generates the radiation while it's being used, so what the fuck is your friend doing taking calls in his crotch?

Buy that boy a box o raincoats.

Ok. He smells, and his mother dresses him funny.

Your friend has nothing to worry about. Cell phones in your front pocket do keep you from having babies.

I suppose that "rubber raincoats" could work...though he wouldn't feel anything when he's doing it. And, the greatest disadvantage would have to be being forced to take off some hundred "rubber raincoats" in order to maintain a general shape. :p
