I’ve heard people get 2nd degree burns from older laptops, just sitting them on their lap for extended periods of time and not paying attention to the burning sensation.
My advice - if something makes your testicles warm and tingly and was not itself designed for such a purpose…stop doing that. Shouldn’t need a warning label for something like that. Here’s an after school special for you: “Your Testis, Your Responsibility” 😊
Oh, and if someone offered you a job and promised to pay you 60% more than the last guy, wouldn’t you want to know how much that last guy got paid? The odds of getting testicular cancer in 1970, ignoring important factors like ethnicity, were 25,000 to 1. Now they stand at about 16,500 to one. A big change in an extremely small number is not such a big change.
But, a big percentage sounds much scarier than a change from 4 in 100,000 to 6 in 100,000 over 30 years. Along with attempting to scare with words like “radiation”, seeking to draw a correlation with nuclear radiation when “thermal radiation” (heat) is just as scientifically accurate, wreaks of a FUD campaign - fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Worry about real dangers - like ruby lasers reading your mind and making you watch poorly written music videos 😉
Also, be careful of logic like “you can’t rule out any ill effects from them” - why apply such a strict rule when surely you don’t apply such a rule to all new behavior and activities in your own life, do you? Do you require new food dish to be proven safe before you’ll eat it? Do you require someone prove they aren’t a sociopath before you talk to them? Do you give people a background check before you go out on a date with them?
It’s a dangerous world, and ultimately no one gets out of it alive. I think of it this way - cell phones didn’t even use to exist, yet now everyone has one and many people now practically have one permanently attached to their cranium. Yet, somehow it takes a team of statisticians to attempt to determine if brain cancer is any more common than it use to be? If they were terribly dangerous, shouldn’t it be a touch more obvious? These aren’t pharmaceuticals for direct injection or ingestion, the forces we refer to are quite literally “weak” and under normal circumstances even advanced equipment cannot find considerable effects on the human body.
Again though, if you worry about radiation you’d be well advised to delve into a least a little serious scientific meaning as to its definition and usage, and compare electrical, magnetic, thermal, and nuclear radiation - amongst the many other sources.
All this not withstanding, I try to keep complex technological devices away from my genitals. Just seems like a good policy to me.
