But if you follow the study's reasoning, it seems to say that those with phones furthest from their genital area for longer periods of time (i.e. @ the head) are at risk of lower sperm counts.

Problem with this study (and many others published by trigger happy media) is that not only did they only study a few hundred people, it fails to take into consider concurrent factors such as stress level (if they're on the phone that much they're probably working all the time), increased sedentary lifestyle (sitting @ a desk or in a car for long periods), etc, etc.
