It probably has something to do with massive amounts of estrogen being flushed into the water supply by women who are taking hormonal birth control.
Male fish are developing eggs. It's probably affecting our men too.

I have heard lower testosterone in Men are due to little or no exercise, and eating foods contaminated with female growth hormones. Moderate interval exercise and eating grass fed beef could help.

How can this be extrapolated beyond anything but the Boston area? Boston area men participated in the study. Maybe it's just a local phenomenon.

Long term exposure to the nanny state will have that effect.

Agreed. There has also been a large trend towards soy based products which can also interfere with testosterone levels.

It is probably because most of us are now behind a desk all day instead working hard labor.

Not this crap again.

Didn't the media try this with sperm counts a decade or two ago?

The commies dumped something into The Hudson River and the Potomac to drop testosterone levels in males.

Isn't it obvious ?

I blame the constant images of Rosie O'Donnel and Hillary Clinton.
