Romantic love and sex drive are not the same thing, although it might seem that way to a university age man. Plenty of people who have no sex drive are capable of (and desire) intimate relationships. You can still enjoy the company of women and want to live with them even if you are not very ...

God tell me it's a joke...

I have heared that it take no more than 15 seconds on farm animals, Why would it take more than that on humans?

The sort of death and infection rate that is acceptable on livestock would be appalling for humans. My ex ...

As a scientist and all-around nerd, I think this is cool. On a personal level, I don't actually use the one I have (actually, I haven't even seen it in four months, since it is locked in a stainless steal housing).

I'm taking licorice right now and it does seem to be helping, but it isn't comparable to a real andro-blocker. There was a fairly high profile study in Italy a few years back in which they administered a fairly big dose and the average decrease in T was around 20%. Not negligible, but certainly not ...

(And no, I'm definitely NOT recommending DIY penectomies! I was just struck by how many such attacks have been reported here and now few of ...

Forum introductions are hard for me; the challenge is to distill and edit my life story to the point where it shows how I belong on that forum, without being so long it's boring. I'll try, though.

Probably the most pertinent piece of information is that I have been gender queer since I was old ...

if you count all the hijra in India, yes it is that bleak. Taking them out of the loop, no it is definitely not that bleak.
