Low T, Diabetes and Death
The Daily Mirror recently published story titled, Diabetic men with low testosterone more likely to die. While I’m of the mind we’re all likely to die regardless of the levels of testosterone we have, eventually, I was curious enough about the headline to click the link in my newsreader and have a read.

Testosterone levels and our ability to woo women.
Way back, when I was something like 20 and testosterone pretty much dripped off me much as it does most 20-year-old males, I would sometimes go to a local store that sold overstocks of printed sports team shirts and what-not.

Viagra helps men open up about sex
About a year ago I was at the barber getting my haircut. It was the first time I’d been to that particular barber shop which made it all the more unusual, I thought, that the guy cutting my hair would mention he had a prescription for Viagra. Not that I’m put off by it, I’ll [...]
Cuddling up in Winnipeg
The fact this article popped up in my news alerts was likely triggered by the keyword “prolactin.” While that isn’t usually enough to make me link to an article, I did recently watch the documentary My Winnipeg on Netflix.

ED may be sign of heart disease
Just in time for Valentine’s Day comes this article from Dr. Jeffry Life (could there be any cooler name for your doctor than Dr. Life… it’s the exact opposite of Dr. Death).
