Too much testosterone. Caused my fingers to slip.

What they neglect to mention is that, while testosterone leads to better memory, it also leads to very selective memory. A typical memory log for an average male reveals this limitation...

That explains the...the...what was I going to say?
Oh, piddle. This makes me so mad I could slap someone.

[hellinahandcart]

Man stuff.

I heard that testosterone made men less happy.

I think you may be wrong about that, testosterone injections are given to combat depression in males.

[longshadow]

I am comitting this entire thread to memory, and I find it very exciting.

You pervert.....

[Righty1]

Worst case is gangrene which means that losing the offending organ is a "good" outcome!

[Aracelis]

I think you just defined the word, "ambivalence". LOL

[Aracelis]

"...testosterone injections are given to combat depression in males."

And brother, do they WORK! :-)

[Aracelis]

"Suppose that good mental function is REQUIRED for the body to produce testosterone..."

You know, you just may have something there. It could indeed explain the recent shift in the perceived attractiveness of college males. It seems the jocks may be getting the babes at first, but for the long-haul, nerds are preferred.

You poor guys...you're just hardwired for these thoughts, aren't you?

[RadioAstronomer]

but for the long-haul, nerds are preferred.

Just not the ones still living in thier parents basement at 31! LOL!!!

[Aracelis]

Well, a girl has to have some standards. LOL

[RadioAstronomer]

Especially the ones dressing up in Star Trek uniforms! LMAO!!!!!

Now the thing I don't like about this article is, um, er... damn... what was I going to say?

PING

[NVAHOSTAGE]

Huh, I forgot already. Must have been too much of the stuff running around in me.

[buffyt]

I know that one reason my friends take estrogen after menopause is to improve memory. Maybe part of senility and dementia is just drop in hormone levels as we age. I have already warned my "adult" kids that they will be taking care of me when I get old. That is how I dealt with them when they were little. I knew they thought I always told them what to do, etc. I told them, "This is all just temporary, when you are adults and I am elderly, roles reverse, and YOU will be taking care of ME!" That always made them smile.

I guess it's a really bad sign if you keep forgetting where your car keys are.......uh oh.
