Why a good dad loses interest in sex: New study reveals dad duties get in the way of time between the sheets

•Men that put the hours in being a good dad have less sex

•Study tracked lives of young men in the Philippine Islands
•Found after having a baby a man's testosterone levels drop

It is not just women who tend to lose interest in sex after having a baby. Men do too.

New fathers make love less often, and it seems that the better they are at being a dad, the less sex they end up having.

Lee Gettler, of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, tracked the lives and hormones of 433 young men from the Philippine islands.

He found that the most testosterone-fuelled men were also the most likely to become fathers.
However after having a baby their levels of the male sex hormone dropped – along with the amount of sex they had.

Dr Gettler also found an increase in the hormone prolactin, which is normally associated with breastfeeding, particularly among men with the most hands-on approach to parenting.

It is thought the hormonal changes make a man more responsive to the needs of his child.

Dr Gettler told the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s annual conference: ‘Mothers undergo substantial biological change with pregnancy and birth, yet there has been a tendency to think of the father as kind of inertly along for the ride.

The study of a group of men in the Philippine Islands revealed a man's testosterone levels drop once he has had a child

But it is not just mothers who respond to the demands of parenthood.

‘I think evolution has shaped male physiology to help men invest in their children and provide good care for them.’

Dr Gettler added that the drop in libido could well be nature’s way of stopping the new father from straying.

But it is not for ever – as hormone levels return to normal within a year or two.

I'm bitter and not even going to broach this subject. I preferred the article about the DoJ allowing banks to deal with MJ businesses. It's starting to happen!

About the headband. I'm pretty sure it's headband. I smoke a lot yesterday and it felt like I had my sunglasses on my head, only they weren't on my head. I seriously kept reaching up to take them off.

Happy Sunday everyone.

Are they really wet again?
If so take them out for a few hrs or longer dep on rh in your place and how buds feel.
If they get back to feeling semi-solid, then back into jars.

As the center pulls moisture to the outside smell will diminish somewhat , but as long as they dont get too wet again, or too dry the smell should return

Sounds right jojo. Try keeping it closed for 24 hours in a relatively cold spot. If it rises to 70+ it needs to dry more.
Damn editor wont let me post a pic :(

Alright guys and gals. I need some input. Finally cleaned out the closet yesterday and was seriously shocked when I pulled the roots out of the tubes. They were TINY! Well compared to previous grows at least. Any thoughts on this? I can't imagine what it was... maybe humidity being high, the plants drew water from the air instead of growing bigger roots???? My only theory and it doesn't seem to add up. They were more brown than usual, but hard to tell if that just came the last week I didn't have water running through them. There was no slime or any nastiness to them.

So what do you guys think.

Also... I think the yield would have been better with better roots.

Anyone who grew this headband look at your rootmass?
