Oh god, let's get at least a little bit sciency about having kids. There are no serious chemical changes in men, only in women to a) deal with and forget the pain of child birth and b) form a bond with the child. Men are dreadful of having kids because they fear of having to support them, they are sort of tricked by women and pressured by peers, society, government to do it. Some men can find enjoyment and fulfillment in raising children of course, but it's much harder if they have to worry about providing for them.
- whiddershins 7y agoThat’s simply false. Testosterone levels drop in men who even cohabitate with young children. I have no idea what other changes might occur but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were others.
- zzzcpan 7y ago> Testosterone levels drop in men who even cohabitate with young children. I call bullshit. There is at best a correlation of cohabitating with young children and periods of sexual inactivity, but probably correlation of periods of sexual inactivity and participating in the study you pulled that data from, i.e. it's a bullshit study. Wikipedia has good enough explanation about when testosterone levels change in men: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testosterone#Males https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testosterone#Males
