Gaming and Porn Causing Young Men’s Testosterone Levels to Plummet, Worldwide
On both sides of the Atlantic, young men’s testosterone levels are tanking, according to studies [leading experts to research why].
Extensive gaming is strongly associated with hyperprolactinemia, a condition that involves higher-than-normal levels of prolactin, the hormone best known for its role in breast tissue growth and milk production, in the bloodstream.
