It's a bunch of men about to find out that testosterone isn't that important, or about to become very neurotic and insecure about it.

Personally I think we should also test their blood flow responses when shown certain images, and do Kinsey scale testing as well.

Really shock them with some self-knowledge and hate for governments overstepping their boundaries.

    I am almost entirely hairless below my neck and have a full head of hair in my mid 40s.

    I am probably on the low end of the testosterone scale.

    I'm also 5'6".

    I never let it stop me from being an absolute horn dog and doing pretty darn well if I do say so myself.

    I am almost entirely hairless from my neck down and have a full head of hair and the last time my testosterone was tested it was at 1332 when the scale typically tops out at 1100.

    I'm in my mid 30s.

    You might have androgen insensitivity syndrome, I do not think that I do, as I have recently started growing facial hair. It's just been a very long and slow process for me.
