How a man's sex drive is linked to a breast milk hormone: Men who lack desire have low levels of it, study finds

Men with a poor sex drive may have low levels of a hormone traditionally associated with breastfeeding.

A study has found that men with reduced levels of prolactin had worse health both sexually and overall.  Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, which lies under the brain. It is best known for its role as the hormone that stimulates breast development and milk production in women.

But it also has many other functions, including providing the body with sexual satisfaction. The hormone is thought to counteract the effect of dopamine, which is responsible for sexual desire.

Until now, it was thought that high levels it affected a man's performance in the bedroom, so the researchers say they were surprised by the new findings.

The study, reported in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, assessed 3,000 European men aged between 40 and 79. They had levels of the hormones testosterone and prolactin checked, and also their cholesterol, blood sugar and BMIs measured.
