Marriage Lowers The Male Sex Drive

except when lesbian cheerleaders are involved

<snip>

BAD luck, dad. Scientists have found testosterone levels are lower in husbands and fathers than in bachelors.

Carefree single men have the most testosterone - the male sex hormone which governs aggression and sexual appetite - while married men have less and those with the responsibility of children have the least.
A US study shows single men have twice as much as fathers of a similar age.

Experts believe the fluctuations could be nature's way of encouraging men in relationships to settle down.

Psychologists say it's sensible from an evolutionary point of view. Testosterone prompts males to seek out females and to mate.

5. And all we ever hear is

"As soon as women get married, they withhold sex from their husbands." Yet another vicious calumny.

I myself am dumping my husband for seven years of robbed youth.

6. (((Ellen Forradalom)))

I only lost three, but it sucks all the same.

Normally, I hate these kinds of Lounge posts, but this article at least tries to contradict a popular myth.
