Marriage Tanks Testosterone In Men

A study coming out of UNLV:

According to a study conducted by UNLV professors, men who get married and have children are more likely to experience reductions in testosterone.

“The bottom line is ‘What does testosterone do?’ It does all the things you think it does,” said Dr. Peter Gray, assistant professor for the UNLV Department of Anthropology. “It promotes libido, validates interactions, a sense of self-worth, all the kinds of things that engage successfully in the world around us eventually acquire reproductive opportunities.”

Now if I read that correctly, they are saying that marriage kills libido and decreases a man’s sense of self worth. I might have an opinion on this story… but I will have to ask my wife.
