Has sunblock killed modern masculinity?

[RandomGuy1030]

Studies show Vitamin D produced by AT LEAST half an hour of UV light exposure a day... boosts testosterone 1.25x.

Sunblock only blocks UVB (but not 100%), so it still allows some to get through for to help with production of vitamin D. But then again, some people (I got tested) have trouble producing vit D through sun exposure alone, which is why I take supplements - now my vit D level is off the roof (back then mine was at 8 ng/ml, now it’s at 78 ng/ml)

[RandomGuy1030]

Thats a lie. If you had trouble producing vitamin D then your ancestors would have died off without pills.

Well I actually took a dna test for it to see how my body metabolizes food, how I regenerate etc turns out that my body is less able to convert vit d to it’s usable state thanks to my fucked up kidney

[RandomGuy1030]

Wow that is actually enlightening. Just asking were your parents older than usual when you were born?

[Opinion Owner]

They were about 27-28 when I was born but my dad is a tan fillipino, they said that people with darker skin tones have more trouble producing vit D from sun exposure so I guess he passes that down to me I don't know

[RandomGuy1030]

Were your mom and dad the same ethnicity?

[Opinion Owner]

No my mom’s part white part fillipino and my dad’s fully Asian fillipino. But yeah I’ve been religiously taking vit d supplements and have seen so much more improvements on my levels. I’ve also experimented with myself and tried taking a lower dose of the supplement plus stopping it altogether and my levels dropped pretty significantly lmao

[RandomGuy1030]

Do you FEEL a difference?

[Opinion Owner]

I feel less lethargic and my mood’s much better. But then again, I’m also taking DHEA (which also boosts testosterone levels by the way if you’re interested)

naaah, I don't know many men who use sunblock.. they just sit inside in front of a screen most of the day anyway.

[RandomGuy1030]

Ok what about pregnant females. Where do you think the fetus gets vitamin d

[Opinion Owner]

many take suppliment vitamins during pregnancy. At least all my friends did.

[RandomGuy1030]

Fake pills dont translate to real nourishment.

[Opinion Owner]

you don't know what type of pills they took.. besides, you have anything to back up your apparent claim that there is a lack of testosterone for fetuses in general because of a d vitamin deficiency?

[RandomGuy1030]

Yes the evidence is males who do not get vitamin D have low testosterone

[RandomGuy1030]

Vitamin d pills dont absorb well in 99% of people. And there's no proof the body doesn't actively try to get rid of fake vitamin d. Try to stop taking it for a couple weeks and see if your levels drop.

[Opinion Owner]

link to any of your claims? especially the one I first asked for: 'there is a lack of testosterone for fetuses in general because of a d vitamin deficiency?'

[RandomGuy1030]

Thats a ridiculous question. Like youd ever want a vitamin d deficiency.

link to any of your claims?

[Rockstarrrrr]

If you think masculinity is just testosterone then anybody can buy it from the drug store.. Even women lol

[RandomGuy1030]

It is... its simple

[Astarlessnightsky]

No.

Sunblock only extends the amount of time you can spend in sunlight.

[RandomGuy1030]

Yeah it blocks 90-99% depending on the efficacy. Dark skinned people already need tons of sun. The sunblock white people use makes them need 10-12 hours sun for like an hours worth of vitamin D. Fucking cmon.

[jennifer_bloom]

Thanks for the information - I will be tanning more

[exitseven]

I did not know this. No wonder I always feel better in the summer.

[RandomGuy1030]

Bro I've been soaking up sun since April.

[RandomGuy1030]

I usually go to a open air basketball court and shoot around shirtless hoping females see me. lol

[exitseven]

It does not get warm enough for that until June around here.

[RandomGuy1030]

I take trips to places a lot. My mom knows some guys lol.

[Headstrongcrazylover]

What about vitamin d supplement.
