I found a good Forbes article on this. Testosterone levels are indeed dropping (they dropped about 25% between 2000 and 2016). The biggest question I have is, "Is this really a problem?" A lot of it seems to be evolutionary in a way - our jobs have become less physical, so men haven't had a need to make more testosterone. And apparently close relationships like marriage, fatherhood, and living with a roommate cause you to produce more oxytocin, which leads to a decrease in testosterone. Less smoking may have also contributed to the decrease. I think those are all good things. There are factors that are real issues like obesity, less exercise, more chemicals in the environment, and such. But I think those are issues in themselves. The testosterone isn't the reason those are bad. I'm not convinced that decreasing testosterone is something we need to worry about. It's just being used to get authoritarians riled up because they have a weird obsession with manliness.

@u.synlig There was a US study and a Dutch study with similar results. I can't speak for the other countries. It would be interesting to know if countries with more manual labor are seeing the same trend.

Money doesn't make you right. In Tucker's case, all it really means is he's good at talking. This testicle tanning thing is obviously ridiculous.
