Cell Phone Use May Affect Sperm

DearSugar — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 08:00:00 -0700

Many people think men have it a lot easier than women when it comes to making babies, but they have to do their part as well — especially when it comes to taking care of their sperm, since so many things can affect them. Eating soy may decrease their sperm count, spending too much time in hot tubs can also have the same effect (although temporarily), and now men have to worry about their cell phones. Yep, it's true. Cell phones are believed to be safe enough to use every day, but now a new study suggests that guys who put their phones in their pockets (on talk mode) while using a headset may have a decrease in the quality of their sperm.

Do Tell: Where Is It Most Annoying to Hear People on Their Cell Phones?

DearSugar — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 07:00:00 -0700

I was at the gym the other day and got stuck next to some guy who was chatting away on his cell phone. Now dragging myself to the gym is hard enough of as is it, but being forced to listen to unnecessary conversation makes being there 10 times worse! Unfortunately, the gym isn't the only place where I feel people shouldn't talk on their phones — the bus, the nail salon, a movie theatre, and boutiques should be cell phone-free zones in my mind, too. Now I'm not saying I'm always innocent of the above, but I do try to play by my own rules as much as possible. So how do you feel about cell phone etiquette? Do tell ladies, where is it most annoying to hear people talk on their cell phones?

Do Tell: Do You Start With a Clean Slate?

There's no use for little black books anymore — we all have cell phones or PDAs to log phone numbers and keep track of our dates. But what are you supposed to do with all that information when you finally meet someone you want to be monogamous with? Are you expected to erase your history and start with a clean slate for your new guy or do you think it's OK to keep future possibilities (either for you or a friend) on record just in case? I'm torn on this one so ladies, do tell, do you erase old numbers in hopes of starting a fresh future? And how would you feel if your man kept his old flirt buddies just a call or text away?

Dear Poll: Whose Blackberry Would you Want to Read?

DearSugar — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 10:30:00 -0700

Do you all remember when Paris Hilton misplaced her Blackberry? All her private conversations and phone numbers were splashed over every news station causing complete and utter mayhem. Even though celebrities tote around handbags large enough to be filled with a week's worth of clothing, their Blackberries never leave their hands. Wouldn't you like to know what's so important that they can't put down their phone, even if it's just for a minute? If you could find one celebrity Blackberry, whose personal e-mails and calendar would you want to look through? Source

Dear Poll: Whose Blackberry Would you Want to Read?

Lindsay Lohan: Miss party girl herself, I am sure she has the best dirt around

Jay-Z: He is always so low pro I would love to get the truth on him

Britney Spears: Need I say more?
