Probably could have been better if they went after the why is manhood under attack but it was interesting enough.

I was just reading this in a sexuality book I bought. Sperm counts over the last century are going down too, drastically. There's no smoking gun, but the likely answer is diet and environment.
Soy contains estrogen like substances, which some studies are claiming act like actual estrogen while in the body. The U.S. is the worlds largest producer (though much of it is exported) Soy based products are found in a shit ton of processed foods. I'm no scientist, but it seems there could be some linear pattern here...

I'd say that obesity, lack of exercise, sleep deprivation, and low fat diets are the culprit behind nationally low testosterone.

Alrighty, I found an article on roissy's new blog that supports this entirely.

Definitely the decline in weightlifting and strength training that is making men ninnies these days.

Hate to be a spamming asshole, but I have read studies where they tested Olympic lifters and regular joes, and found out that pound for pound and all things equal, the training of the Olympic lifters has raised their baseline testosterone to a high level.
So indeed, while diet and genetics play a large role in the standard amount of testosterone produced by a man, there are other factors which can influence testosterone production significantly.

Soup, he seems gay because he interviewed his high school ex-girlfriend asking her what he "used to be like," he got his armpits waxed, and while interviewing his parents his dad pretty much said that he used to think his son might be gay. Also, he spoke with a feminized indirectness that I see all too common with men these days. This was all in the short period of time I watched it (up to the waxing), so maybe he miraculously became masculine afterward.
