Could this just be due to maturation in an environment that prohibits and goes against masculinity to large extent?

  We would have to define what is considered "masculinity", but I would say society definitely prohibit aggressivity, especially as more people are educated and can communicate better, more women entered the work force but also the working conditions today are more comfortable. It would be interesting to compare testosterone levels of inmates versus men of the "outside" population. Inmates live in a much more aggressive environment, and I bet that influence their testosterone level.

    Isn't it more than just aggressivity? Isn't even the normal attraction and pursuit of attractive females now more or less negated/disincentivized or worse?

      Not really. At least, that's not my perception. I would say, however, that the macho attitude is clearly out of date.
