Damaged for life
Mike McLoughlin has an interesting take on obesity:
The best way to address the current obesity crisis - in men at least - is to publicise one of its most unpleasant side effects: excess fat in men converts testosterone into oestrogen which is a female sex hormone, thus reducing the size of the penis. Those comforting themselves by thinking it "appeared" smaller as it was getting lost in the folds of flab will have to think again.
I can't say I've noticed it working in reverse while I've been losing weight.
