Testosterone levels decrease in men who get married, increase in men who get divorced

_________________________

The level of the male hormone testosterone decreases in men once they become married, according to a study recently published in Psychoneuroendocrinology.

Testosterone is a male sex hormone and it serves a number of functions within the male body. Testosterone impacts on reproduction, muscle mass, bone structure and cognitive function. As well as these physiological roles, testosterone is also thought to influence, or be influenced by a man’s social experience.

Previously, research has shown that levels of testosterone differ between married and unmarried men. However, in these studies it was not clear whether men with naturally lower levels of testosterone are more likely to become married or whether becoming married actually suppresses the production of testosterone.

One explanation for the increased decline in testosterone amongst married men comes from evidence suggesting that testosterone levels increase after a period of sexual abstinence, and scientists have argued that married men have more sexual intercourse than unmarried men.

Furthermore, the first sample of testosterone taken could not predict whether the men would be married or unmarried after 10 years, which the researchers claim shows that marital status impacts on male testosterone levels and not vice versa.

The level of testosterone in men naturally declines with age, which is why both groups of men mentioned above showed a decline in testosterone over the 10-year period. But overall, the study provides strong evidence that testosterone trajectories can be influenced by the natural aging process as well as changes in marital status. Men who become married experience an accelerated decline in testosterone whereas men who become unmarried experience a slower decline.

So there you have it fellas. Get married, lose your sex drive. Get divorced, regain your sex drive. Never get married at all, sex drive overload…I like those odds.

Thoughts??

I look at it this way, Venom:

When a man gets married, the chase is over. The human male is biologically driven to seek our MULTIPLE partners, i.e polygamy. Society has brainwashed us with the illusion that humans are monogamous, which is total BS. Most animal species are polygamous.

This is where the word “cheating” comes from. It is a shaming tactic used to control a potential exploding population, where most people would breed like rabbits.

A tranquil mind is neither happy nor sad, it is uninfluenced by external conditions.

and scientists have argued that married men have more sexual intercourse than unmarried men.

I would disagree with that.

I would like to know what their serotonin levels were during the study before and after. Marriage is depressing and stressful. This would be a root cause of depression that leads to low T.

If you rescue a damsel in distress, all you will get is a distressed damsel.

Most “scientists” and “psychologists” are brainwashed themselves. Sane human beings, like us MGTOWs, can see reality for what it truly is, which is why we would not even think about getting married.

This gem is the whole reason this article was written. This is to make lurkers think that this is true because rather than be the headline, it’s tucked away in some “study”.
We know better.
The article was written by a woman as well.

Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.

Makes sense. Women have a way of wearing a man and other women down. The constant nagging, bitching and never being happy can make a man feel pretty stressed. I was in a long term relationship once and we spoke about building a house together. We never got past that thank f~~~, so anyway we’re talking about buying a house and all the s~~~ that goes with it and then she’s like, “I suppose after we pay that off we could buy another one and start again?”

Really? So I kill myself paying this thing off then we just sell and start with another one?

The thought made me want to shoot myself. This woman was just never happy no matter what I did or what she received.

Testosterone keeps you younger. It is a master hormone in the male body.

Now DHT is something you want to minimize, because that ages you, (although it is a sign you are producing testosterone) but regular testosterone, you want that.

Mariage reduces your regular testosterone. That and the added stress of a wife and kids and providing for them and not being in charge – stress that “equal” women now claim they are being overwhelmed by and need men to help them with – no wonder guys have traditionally died several years earlier. Add in the fact we do jobs inherently dangerous that women en masse/historically have not done.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.
