There's a whole chapter of Dr. Sears' "The Age-Free Zone" that deals with male hormones and male performance issues (including an explanation of how Viagra works, and how diet and supplements can have similar effects, such as Arginine supplementation by eating turkey). Basically, excessive insulin is particularly bad for male performance, as type-2 diabetics discover. -- Cheers, Ken [log in to unmask]
