      You laptop does not produce radiation, it does radiate heat though and this can damage your sperm count but only temporarily. Sperm like to be just below body temperature, that is why the testicles hang outside the body. If they are too warm sperm can die or become unhealthy. This will only really effect the sperm you currently have. Your body is constantly making new sperm so your next batch will be fine.
