You guys are Idiots I have had estrogen poisoning and its not funny I located the source of the poisoning and it took a long time to recover ... Your so insecure about your manhood that you make fun of real science trying to address a problem that is huge that noone is talking about.. So when you lose your ambition and drive for life ...

Tomb is mostly right. There are some fish and amphibians that are being "feminized" due to hormones int he water. But we're talking embryos, not adult animals.

The "tight jean" theory may have a temporary impact on male performance, but it shouldn't have a lasting impact. There's also the "bike riding" theory, as many male bike riders report ED. Again, this is temporary.

The snake oil salesman is playing on classic male fears. Men over 40 (or there abouts) start to make less testosterone and many do suffer from ED. It's got nothing to do with estrogen in the water and everything to do with AGING!

[...] From PZ, Michael Hanscom has received a truly awesome ad for some snake oil. Prairie picked up the mail and started flipping through the envelopes. Handing one to me with a puzzled look on her face, she asked, “What mailing list are you on?” The envelope she handed me had a somewhat softcore porn-ish shot of a man and woman in bed, with the text “THE FIRST TRUE REVOLUTION IN MALE SEXUAL POWER IS HERE…NOW!” emblazoned across it.

At the risk of sounding completely misogynistic and stupid commenting on this. That piece of junk did get one fact right (but probably just coincidentally).

There is scientific study that shows levels of estrogen and progesterone are rising in our water supply. This is caused by the rising use of birth control pills that work by flooding the female system with these hormones. A lot of it is extracted by the kidneys and ends up in sewage, and after reprocessing in drinking water. And it is suggested that these hormones are one of the reasons for male infertility.

Personally I blame TV and tight jeans, but at any rate these hormones aren’t the reasons why male 50 something republicans are impotent. It will only make them more infertile… and I don’t see any harm in that .
