Let's say you have a 40 year old man:
Over weight
Lazy
High cholesterol
High blood pressure
Enlarged prostate
Borderline diabetic
Drinks to much alcohol
Sleeps to little
Drinks too much caffeine
Doesn't get enough fiber
Can't walk up 5 flights of stairs
Can't do 10 push ups
Works to much at a job he hates
Married to a woman he is no longer attracted to
wears underwear that is too tight
believes he will go to hell if he even looks at a he thinks is sexy
and believes he peaked at 18.
And you think his sex drive is not what it was when he was 18 because of his testosterone level????
There ain't no study in the world that can control for all of that and give you the "fact" based conclusion you think you came to.
Don't take my word for it, ask a knowledgeable person you trust.

The man you just described would have low testosterone levels because he is so unhealthy. Which means he has a lower sex drive.
Sex drive peaks in males at 18. There is no arguing that fact. No other way to interpret the studies done. You can ignore reality all you want, but that doesn't change the way things are.
