Tech: Study: Guys, BPA is ruining your sex life. Uh, what’s BPA?

  • BPA is a chemical used in many plastics. New research into bisphenol-A, a chemical often mentioned as being dangerous for humans, suggests that guys in heat should be most concerned about its potential dangers.

Thanks, random plastic we’ve never heard of. Thanks for nothing. source
