#12Is it callous of me not to worry about the testosterone levels of professional athletes? Because they seem to generally have enough. I worry more about people with RSI who often depend on overuse of anti-inflammatory meds and aren't demonstrably professionally masculine.

#13Okay, so ibuprofen impacts testicular function, acetaminophen/paracetamol causes muting of emotional response (along with the liver toxicity), many other painkillers are related to ibuprofen, and opiates are Right Out.
Is aspirin at least reasonably safe as long as the blood thinning isn't a problem?

#18It would be mind boggling if pain killers were connected to dropping male fertility. It might even explain why so many cultures had rites to male adulthood involving extreme pain.
I sometimes imagine, with horror, what would happen if after 500 years of progress, humanity were to realize that almost all cultural practices they painfully, one by one, undid, were all sensible to begin with for reasons that humanity didn't previously understand.

I tend to use naproxen but something tells me that would kill me as well

IIRC, one can take up to 2400 mg/day at 800 mg per dose for up to 10 days on a prescription.
