Cellphones in your pants pocket

Unless you're using a belt holster, most guys probably carry their cell phone in the front pocket of their pants....do you ever worry about the health concerns of the phone eventually causing cancer (prostate, testicular, etc)? I wouldnt think there is any data on it since cell phones are so recent, it's not like anyone's had one for 30 years to study long term ill effects.

Think of it as a cheaper option to a vasectomy.

Actually, I'd never even thought about the issue -- until now. Thanks for that.

I've always carried my cell phone in my pocket. I can't say that I ever thought about it. So far it hasn't affected me. We have 2 kids born in the last 3 years and both times my wife was pregnant on the first attempt. So at least I know it isn't affecting anything there...............yet.

Not at all, but I do worry about the fact that I have an ugly rectangle mark on my pants.

I usually carry it in a jacket or not carry it at all if it cause an unsightly bulge. In fact, I never carry anything in my pants pockets.

Think of it as the yuppie equivalent of a dip tin fade on the back pocket of your jeans.

So let's say it's on your hip. Does your hip suddenly protect your kidneys, spleen, liver, and intestines? Chest pocket= heart/lungs. It's a cell phone, not a pack of cigarettes. Stop being such a fucking pansy.

I carry it in the low inside pocket on my jackets. I call it the cell phone pocket.

when you get your MD ima make sure you're the lucky chap that gets to stick his finger in my ass when I need a prostate exam done. I'll have eaten healthy doses of burritos and chorizo beforehand

I'd be lying if I said you weren't the first person to tell me that they're looking forward to me sticking an appendix of mine up their rectum. But again, I'd be lying. Jesus, get some help now or save that shit for the European honeymoon.

Most of my suits and jackets have this sort of ticket pocket, perfect for cell phones. No word on cancer resulting from carrying one next to the "boys." Might be a reason to use a clip, however (as a potential fucking pansy).
