 What a difference
a day can make. Yesterday after the game I was cackling maniacially,
skorfing down a bloody burger and
a Bloody Mary, watching Monster Truck Mashup on cable and searching through
my little black book for ex-girlfriends’ phone numbers (no consorting
with NY during Sox-Yanks playoff series).
Tonight I feel funereal and listless, ready to pull on my bunny jamies
and climb into bed to watch "The Golden Girls" on Lifetime.
It’s testosterone deprivation! Who knew? It turns out that when a fan’s
team loses, he can lose up to 40% of his testosterone, compared to a
fan whose team wins! Its been scientifically proven, by James M. Dabbs
Jr., professor of psychology at Georgia State University.
"A 1994 study of male soccer fans watching the Brazil-Italy World
Cup finals found that testosterone levels increased between 15 and 20
percent
in the Brazil fans after Brazil won, and dropped by similar amounts in
the Italian fans.
These changes affect both genders. Sociology professor Allen Booth of
Pennsylvania State University has tested female rugby players and found
that, prior to a game, their testosterone levels rose an average of 24
percent."
That must explain why so many of the women in Sports Bars have moustaches.

It is not surprising that the report is highlights the link between testosterone and failure or success. For millions of years man and his ancestors have needed to be wary, powerful, skilled, alert and ready to run like the wind when the hunt goes wrong.
It is also true that the more successful your are the better your choice of a mate – when you succeed it is understandable that it is reflected in your attitude (ie testosterone levels)!
Today we still HUNT (read WIN) to feed our families, to help ensure the strength and safety of our wives and children it’s just that we hunt in the boardrooms, stock markets, at work and even, sadly, at play. It is just a part of being human.
Problems can however arise when for some reason someone finds that the spark has gone in many parts of their lives. Feelings of depression, tiredness, lethargy, no sex drive fade away that used to give us hope, excitement and energy.
This drop in quality of life is not unexpected because as we age our free testosterone levels drop – not as precipitously as in women – but they drop in any event.
Testosterone replacement therapy is, in all probability, the easiest way to get those old feeling back.
I discovered the truth of this when in my early 50’s I started to suffer the effect of low testosterone. Today the story is far different.
I started a trail program of HRT and am still, 5 years later, an avid supporter of daily applications of testosterone cream.
I found a product that is exported from Australia that has made an incredible difference to my life.
I post this because I found this product helped me a lot and I hope it helps others as much.
Continue the HUNT.
