MEN are losing their sex drive at an earlier age, a study on the testosterone levels of 600 men has shown.

Commissioned by the Society for Men's Health Singapore, the study concluded that one in five Singapore men aged 45 and above is experiencing hypogonadism.

This is the medical term used for when the male sex glands, the testes, produce little or no hormone. It is a condition that usually kicks in when men hit their 60s.
