Rock-solid evidence that testosterone is tumbling is still limited to studies on men in Denmark and Finland. But other indicators — like the global fall of sperm counts — seem to point to a downward trend worldwide. Shanna Swan, Ph.D., an epidemiologist at the University of Rochester, reviewed sperm concentrations from men in 61 countries between 1934 and 1996, and discovered a strong downward slope: "It's dropping by about 1 percent per year, but the trend is strongest in Western Europe and the United States."

I know neocons blame the Clintons for everything but now Hillary and Bill are also blamed for your tumbling testosterone?
So are the virile guys mostly all liberals then if politics control this?
Maybe liberal men enjoy the equality they have with the strong women they are with so it boosts their manliness. Just wondering.....
Yes, Kiara. Organ failure and diminished cognitive acuity related to lower testosterone appears to have a definite propensity to affect only those of right-wing persuasion.
As evidence, you can see right here a sharp decline in cognitive acuity among the wingers which is clearly not a problem for men on the left.
On the positive side, the problem has been a boon to the pharmaceutical industry where sales of Viagra to wingers is phenomenal! At least the wingers of the drug industry are taking care of their own as testosterone plummets, profits soar!

Kiara, & Helen, direct me to the section of the C&P article where it differentiated between political parties.
And since Willie was injected into the topic, apparently Chillery had the same effect on him if he had to get Monica to help him rise to the situation.

Bear, there wasn't anything political in the topic - until you and Stonecold brought the Clinton's names up again, like everything goes back to them. It's as if your minds were permanently changed forever when you heard of Clinton's virility and the Monica scandal and you don't have the ability to stop mentioning it, no matter what the topic is.
Helen, I agree it's been a boon for the pharmaceutical industry - especially for Viagra and now painkiller use is way up. Maybe stress or chemicals are lowering testosterone levels or maybe men aren't spending enough time outdoors these days.
Classic, seems to be the married right-wingers who have been caught doing it with anyone and anything lately.

I wonder where we would be if we added Bear to the equation. That is right we would still be dropping.

That's right you don't. Instead, you sit in bed holding your strivled manhood thinking of all the glory days when you were able to get it up. Now you are lucky enough just to make it out of bed in time to go relieve yourself before wetting the bed. I bet your wife likes changing your depends in the morning.
