Heated car seats and long traffic jams 'may be a threat to men's fertility'
Traffic jam: Scientists claim heated car seats can lower a man's sperm count
Heated car seats may keep drivers warm on cold mornings - but they could also lower a man's sperm count, scientists claim.
A study found the electric-generated heat emitted by some driver's seats raises body temperature to a point that interferes with the production of healthy sperm.
It follows evidence from previous studies that men who sit in a car for more than three hours a day, or who work as long-distance lorry drivers or long-haul pilots, could be putting their fertility at risk.
The ideal temperature for sperm production is around 35C to 36C (95F to 97F), just below the average core body temperature of 37C (99F).
If temperatures are much higher - because, for instance, men wear tightly-fitting trousers or underwear, have long, hot baths or spend too long sitting down - sperm counts can fall dramatically.
Some fertility experts believe changes in fashion and lifestyles are partly to blame for falling sperm counts in recent decades.
To test the effects of car seat warmers, researchers at the University of Giessen, Germany, fitted temperature sensors to 30 healthy volunteers who then sat on a car seat fitted with a warmer for 90 minutes.
Within an hour, temperatures had risen from to an average of 37.3C (99F).
One man recorded a temperature of 39.7C (103.5F) New Scientist magazine reported yesterday.
Sitting on an unheated seat also led to slightly raised temperatures of around 36.7C (98.1F).
While the researchers did not test the quality or quantity of the volunteers' sperm, they are worried the effects of car seat heaters may pose a greater risk to fertility than merely sitting for long periods.
Researchers in Holland compared the sperm counts of men who wore tight-fitting underpants for six months and found it fell compared to when they wore loose undergarments.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY!
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY!
- BS Brash
Video is not new, but selling classic cars with it is a new wrinkle. YouTube.com, a Google website has pretty much set the stage to post any video for the public to see. Once you post a video to YouTube, you can use the URL to send it to anyone by email or YouTube offers you the html code to embed it in your website or your ebay auction. The following two examples are samples of both a personal and an ebay video.
Most people don't have the knowledge to jazz up, read that edit, a video for posting.
This is where the business opportunity come in, if you do have a video camera, the knowledge and the software to edit the videos, it would be worth a lot of money to people who don't have that knowledge or equipment to help the make a video to post on their eBay auctions.
There are also some websites that allow you to make slide shows and videos from still pictures. Here are a few of those sites, http://280slides.com/, http://preezo.com/, most of these have a small learning curve and look pretty professional when done. Some of them even allow audio and music too.
Just as an idea, how about this; you take a video of cars for sale and post it to YouTube. You change the owners anywhere from $50 to 100 depending on how in-depth the video of their vehicle is, then you put 5-20 cars on the video and post it on YouTube. I am sure you can refine the business plan to suit your time and ability.
