Macho, Macho Men
"
Over the past two decades, levels of the sex hormone in U.S. men have been falling steadily, a new study finds.
For example, average total testosterone levels in men aged 65 to 69 fell from 503 nanograms/decileter (ng/dL) in 1988 to 423 ng/dL in 2003.
The reasons for this trend are unclear, said researchers at the New England Research Institutes in Waterdown, Mass. They noted that neither aging nor certain other health factors, such as smoking or obesity, can fully explain the decline.
"Male serum testosterone levels appear to vary by generation, even after age is taken into account," study lead author Thomas G. Travison said in a prepared statement." (Yahoo)
I blame sensitivity trainings and vegetarianism.

What about pollution, could that be a factor? Or stress? Not enough physical activity?

Always blame vegetarianism for the worlds problems if it is at all possible.

i have nothing relevant to say but i just had to chime in that i think it's hilarious that the name of the town is "waterdown" -- just because we're discussing watered-down testosterone levels doesn't mean the name waterTown needs to take a beating ;)

Eat meat, drink beer... or get raised in Bosnia - the men here don't have problems with sensitivity. Too machoism if you ask me!!
Guess the water is cleaner, there is no pollution and (read:) NO ONE is vegetarian.

And if it's not vegetarianism, then they'll probably blame women for it.
