Wrong state. They should have checked the guys in Texas, Montana, Oklahoma, Georgia, Tennessee...see where I'm goin' here?

Also, maybe guys just sit around too much any more...

[slowhand520]

you can see it in the average guy aged 14-25. They speak the same way. They act and talk like Valley girls. "Like, Like," has replaced the ever popular "ummm". This, IMHO, is proof positive of the emasculation of the male population. Also..Look at the TV shows. In the 80's we had tough ass Magnum PI, Matt Houston and the Fall guy. Who are we graced with today? Who are our leading men? The dainty Jude Law and the diminutive MAtthew Perry. What happened to the mustache?

Yes: It sems many republican Senators and Representatives are having a serious problem with this.

Democrats are probably having the same problem, but Senators like Murtha and Kennedy are using liquid courage in the form of Scotch whiskey to make up the difference.

Male testosterone levels ALWAYS drop around election time!

Part of the plan.

It can't be blamed on lack of exercise among men today because tests show an inverse relationship. Males that have a sedentary lifestyle have total testosterone levels significantly higher than endurance-trained or weight-trained males. This is a real puzzler.

What else could it be? Oh, yeah, GLOBAL WARMING !

NOW harpies driving out our manhood by making "maleness" a bad thing, perhaps?

Some "researchers"...
Everybody knows it's Liberalism.

This article goes with the cell phone study that blamed cell phone use causing low testosterone. I'm 53 and don't use a cell phone and not seeing any problems.

[Names Ash Housewares]

I blame liberalism.

It's a lie, and if I hear it again I'm gonna hit somebody with my purse.

[ExtremeUnction]

The stop smoking campaign is probably responsible.

In my lifetime - I've seen the feminization of men to the point where it is "cool" to be metro-sexual, homosexual, bisexual, pretty, weak, cowardly, sissified, politically correct and stupid.

Big and proud heterosexual white and black Christian males are the ONLY folks that are permitted subjects of insults or discrimination.

I noticed that when I worked for a Liberal female social experimenter, (who had her hair done like H!'s after the sow's co-coronation,) my libido plunged.

I suspect it is revulsion at some of the women in this geographical region that is behind it.

The testicles retract in digust, sperm counts go down, etc.

I am grateful I am not single in this generation. There ARE women around, but I would sooner stay home than date "womyn".

Which is exactly what they want.

Probably from eating too much soy.

Probably because American wives rule the roost......

The remedy for Testosterone decline with age is simple. Go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week and do very intense heavy weight lifting. Eat a good diet with ample protein and take a Zinc and Magnesium supplement. The Zinc and Magnesium suppress the conversion of testosterone to estrogen and the weight training naturally spikes HGH and testosterone production. I'm 48 and my recently tested serum testosterone level ( a Dr. buddy at the gym likes to establish a baseline) is the equivalent of a 20 year old. My significant other thinks it's pretty cool too. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

Duran Duran music.

Hey, there's nothing wrong w/ Duran Duran. Are you jealous they might be better looking than you? ; )
