OT: Don't Know What You Got Till It's Gone Testosterone poisoning makes men so emotional. Having suffered through a sudden drop in my testorsterone levels over the past eighteen months and becoming quite ill for it, I have a new found admiration for that much aligned hormone. I was shocked by the personalty, energy and cogntive changes (I can't learn new phone numbers now but still remember older ones, suddenly I like George Bush, wierd stuff like that). I once reported here that it was likely a pituitary issue, thankfully it was not. I am hopeful that replacement will work and a full return to health is just around the corner. I have learned much about Mean Mister T since. Here is a tribute to Mr. T. Heroes, Rogues and Lovers: Testosterone and Behavior amazon.com To understand how life works, you must understand testosterone. This male hormone--which is present in both men and women--determines who leads society and how it is led; the professions we choose, and in some cases, how well we do in them; and in some cases how long we live--after all, the high-testosterone guy tends to be a risk-taker. Author James Dabbs, a social psychologist, has been studying testosterone for decades at Georgia State University, and many of the studies coming out of his lab have made headlines. To pick just one of dozens of examples, he and his colleagues found that high-testosterone soldiers were more likely to get in trouble with the law, use drugs and alcohol, and have 10 or more sex partners in a year. The more testosterone one has, the more wild oats one feels compelled to sow. Of course, testosterone isn't a static thing; it rises with feelings of victory and accomplishment and crashes with feelings of defeat. Dabbs takes us through the world of testosterone--from the basic chemistry to how it affects love, work, and society--and makes it literate, erudite, and outrageously entertaining. Snippets of Shakespeare are used to make a point alongside stories of high-testosterone female prisoners. Men will find Heroes, Rogues, and Lovers a glorious explanation of their hormonal core, while women can use it to understand the men in their lives, and even themselves--after all, testosterone increases libido in geese as well as ganders.
