Add this to the list of reasons you may want a dedicated gaming PC. According to [a story](http://www.timeslive.co.za/lifestyle/2011/12/01/men-your-wifi-may-be-zapping-your-sperm?ref=killscreen.com) from the Times Live, male PC gamers might have a legitimate reason to stroke their online egos. They may have more sperm than those of us who get by playing whatever games happen to run on our laptops.

> *Argentinian researchers put drops of healthy sperm near a laptop downloading data. After four hours, a quarter of the sperm had stopped swimming, compared to 14 percent of sperm in the control group placed away from the computer. In addition, 9 percent of sperm near the computer had DNA damage, three times more than the sperm in the control group.*

> *The culprit? Electromagnetic radiation from the wireless internet, noted the scientists.*

Still, the researchers says that the results are not finalized. So guys, don’t use your World of Warcraft habit as a substitute for contraceptives just yet.
