  Men’s libido 16 Nov 2005  
How do fatherhood and marriage affect it?

A new study in China shows evidence that married men with children have much lower testosterone level than single men and married non-fathers. And previous studies proved the same result in western countries.

So does it mean fatherhood and marriage reduce men’s sex drive? Is there a myth about the link between testosterone level and men’s libido? And are men getting more and more obsessed with having a high hormone level? Novelist and journalist Dave Hill, and Dr Mark Porter, presenter of BBC Radio 4’s health programme Case Notes, join Jenni to discuss these issues.
