Hi, it's been a while since I have posted, hope you all are doing good. Just recently someone on the net mentioned to me the claim that soy and tofu really is bad for men's penises, sex organs, labido as well as sex drive has been debunked. Iv'e seen articals on the net saying it does or it doesn't so that's a contradiction so witch one is true then? What do the facts show? I figured I would go straight to the horses mouth with this one like I have done in my other threads here. I hope I don't sound inappropriate here as that is breaking the rules on this forum. I tried my best to sound or make this the thread as appropriate as I could.
