It could be said that the masculinity of a man is dependent on his testosterone level. Testosterone which is primarily produced in the testicles plays a major role in a man’s sex drive; it helps in the muscle strength, even distribution of fat as well as maintenance of strong bones, and energy levels in general.
In general, men and women produce testosterone, but the testosterone level in men is about five times higher than a woman.
Research has shown that a man’s testosterone level begins to peak in adolescent age and begins to decline gradually just after 30, without about 1 percent rate each year.
Research has also shown that a low testosterone level could cause reduced muscle and strength function, loss of concentration, insomnia, lower sexual function and even depression. This means we must take our testosterone levels serious fellas.

I’m sure this is one men hate to hear, but it’s the bitter truth. High alcohol intake would dampen your testosterone level. High intake in general can cause erectile difficulties and premature ejaculation. As you gulp down large volumes of alcohol and your liver processes it, it produces compounds that restrain the release of testosterone, which will in turn reduce the overall testosterone level in your body.
