Testosterone is produced by the Leydig cells of the testicles. The
starting point is cholesterol, notorious for its effects on the
heart but critical for its role as the building block of all sex
hormones, both male and female.

interesting, So if I lost a bit of the belly I'd have less female hormones...Maybe that is one of the reasons I am happier when I am porkier - except for the restriction in clothing styles of course.

the photo is from a play i was in, Loot. I was Mr McCready. I live not so far from where Joe Orton wrote it and some other plays before being murdered by his boyfriend. An interesting dynamic told in the film and book, 'Prick Up Your Ears'.

I thought I read once that Joe Orton had written a screenplay for the Beatles, but it was nixed because it wasn't in accordance to their image.  Maybe the project just didn't make it due to all the other stuff.

I was horrified by the way he was murdered.

yeah he did. But he had them all chasing the same woman and then the four of them sleeping with her together. Epstein wasn't happy.
