Have you noticed said bodily changes yourself?

I've mostly noticed being tired a lot - which apparently heavily affects testosterone production.

2. There are legitimate reasons for surveillance to happen. Mainland China, Putinist Russia, Iran and Kazakhstan definitely have problematic ones.

4. Clarification is appreciated here.

5. Much respect to train crews. What there are of them these days. (I read Trains and Branchline as regularly as possible. And I need to get to Hobbyhouse to get the latest issue of the latter!)

I've never been a father, but when I was spending a lot of time around my friends' then-small children, I could positively feel changes in myself which I can identify from this article as having been the hormonal shifts the author talks about. I wouldn't have identified it as testosterone, but that definitely went way down, and I didn't have Andrew's excuse of being tired, so I don't think tiredness is it, or at least not all of it.
