Testosterone Dreams

About this book

"Testosterone has inspired dreams - of restored youth, recharged sexual appetites, faster running, quicker thinking, bigger muscles - since it was first synthesized in 1935. This book investigates the complex, bizarre, and sometimes outrageous history of synthetic testosterone and other male hormone therapies. Exploring many little-known social arenas - both inside and outside the medical world - in which these substances are becoming increasingly available and accepted. Testosterone Dreams examines the implications and dangers of their use in professional sports, in the workplace, in our sex lives, and beyond."--Jacket.
