In a similar vein to the Ken Baker thread....

Again I suppose this is not exactly about asexuality but touches similar territory. The first story in this episode is about another guy whose hormones get altered. Instead of increased prolactin, this is decreased testosterone. It effects his personality in various ways including no sexual desire.

The second segment is the reverse. An F to M transsexual gets loaded up with more testosterone than a steroid-taking male body builder, in her/his transition phase. This increases sexual desire among other things. I'm not sure if you can infer it increased attraction...

The third and foruth segments are much less interesting.

Anything to discuss?

2013 Mod Edit: The page linked above would be this one, but the audio file there doesn't work anymore. However, I've found an archived copy of the show here. Enjoy!
