Can cellphones affect the sperm quality?

A small study was done by Cleveland Clinic on the effect of leaving a cellphone in talk mode on the quality of semen in close proximity. Here is a summary of the results:

"Sperm mobility was significantly lower in exposed samples compared with unexposed samples."

"Sperm viability was significantly lower in exposed samples than in unexposed samples."


Some of the articles covering this are here and here. Here is the full PDF and here is a PDF of the research done earlier.

well, I don't leave my phone in my front pocket much, so I should be ok. Besides, I think my 'breeding' days are over anyway!
