Is your mobile ruining your sex life? Men who carry phones for 4 hours a day are more likely to be IMPOTENT, study claims

• Researchers found a link between mobile usage and erectile dysfunction 
• They studied 20 men who had issues with impotence, plus 10 healthy men 
• There was no significant difference between age, weight and testosterone 
•  Men with erectile problems did carry their mobiles for a 'significantly longer time' than healthy men

It's well known that mobiles can kill the moment - just as you lean in to make the next move, your phone rings or a work email flashes up that you just can't resist checking. But mobile phones might be having a more sinister effect on our love lives, according to new research. Scientists found that men who hold their mobiles for more than four hours a day are more likely to suffer from impotence than those who limit usage to less than two hours.

They said that more research needs to be done to establish what causes the problem and the extent of damage mobiles can cause. For the study, researchers recruited 20 men who had experienced problems with erectile function in the six months prior to the study, known as Group A. They also studied 10 healthy men with no history of dysfunction, known as Group B.
