Testosterone Administration Reduces Lying in Men

So Satan has a testosterone deficit? It's like I knew that all the time. Being a tranny is no good for your mind.
More like Evil is behind the soy and hormone increases in food that reduce available testosterone in both boys and girls, and then in grown men and women.
Hint, bugs don't help natural hormones either.
For sure. But I was refering to the "sneaky, very manipulative" part.
I take Borax to normalize my T-level. It works.
With men's testosterone levels having been observed to decline significantly in men for the last 50+ years, it might go a long way to explaining how dishonestly and malevolence has become extremely pervasive in our society.
It used to be that you were only respected as a successful person if you got there fairly. Now-a-days, as long as someone has money and fame, it doesn't actually matter to a lot of people how they got it. They admire them regardless, even if they got where they are screwing over other people, cheating, and stealing. That is the mark of a failing society.
Abstract
Lying is a pervasive phenomenon with important social and economic implications. However, despite substantial interest in the prevalence and determinants of lying, little is known about its biological foundations. Here we study a potential hormonal influence, focusing on the steroid hormone testosterone, which has been shown to play an important role in social behavior. In a double-blind placebo-controlled study, 91 healthy men (24.32+2.73 years) received a transdermal administration of 50 mg of testosterone (n =46) or a placebo (n=45). Subsequently, subjects participated in a simple task, in which their payoff depended on the self-reported outcome of a die-roll. Subjects could increase their payoff by lying without fear of being caught. Our results show that testosterone administration substantially decreases lying in men. Self-serving lying occurred in both groups, however, reported payoffs were significantly lower in the testosterone group (p<0.01). Our results contribute to the recent debate on the effect of testosterone on prosocial behavior and its underlying channels.
Conniving.
soooo... Will Smith was right?
??? I never heard him talking about testosterone in men?
