Anyone speaking to a real rate of date rape drugs is lying or has poor reference material. No one really knows the rate at which date rape drugs are used. The point, though, is that they are used. As they are used, the argument that they are not used is flawed.
Ustwo, vasectomy has been repeatedly linked to a drop in aggressive behavior. While physiology and the endocrine system are fully covered in your training, I doubt you have extensive training in psychology (judging by not just posts in this thread but posts over the years). The psychological effects of castration are well documented.
I'll admit my understanding of biological sciences are limited. I took several of the classes, but they were not the focus of my major. Of the limited knowledge I did get from human biology, I specifically remember (and have subsequently verified) that the testicles produce male sex hormones, such as testosterone. While this is regulated by the pituitary, the production happens mainly in two places: the reproductive organs and the adrenal glands. Of course that subsequent research, into my old (5 year old?) textbook, tells me that the adrenal glands produce very little testosterone and that the vast majority of the steroid hormone is produced in the (drum-roll please...) testicles. So what would happen if that organ were to be disconnected?
