It turns out that simply having a family and getting older are drains on testosterone, and 13 million men may have low testosterone levels and haven’t done anything about it.  Something called AndroGel is being marketed to middle-aged men which claims to boost testosterone, but new findings suggest that just watching porn and getting a hard-on has basically the same effect.

We especially love this quote:

Such findings… prompted Rutgers University sex researcher Helen Fisher to advise this month that males in the “captivity situation”– her term for married with kids — “go on the Internet and look at porn” as a kind of hormone-replacement therapy. “[Porn] drives up dopamine levels, which drives up your testosterone,” she tells NEWSWEEK, while kissing your wife or hugging your kids drives it down.

Yes, and thus we are glad we are gay.  We plan to be shamelessly watching porn well into old age, and not letting any huggy kids anywhere near us.
