Testosterone – The Magic Hormone – Do you Need More Or even Less?

Testosterone is an amazing material. I have to admit I knew fairly very little about it till recently – aside from the reality that it coursed round my entire body making me feel really randy at regular intervals!

A number of years ago BBC TV release a documentary on Testosterone in their excellent Equinox science documentary series – as well as I learnt a whole lot more. The facts that the majority of staggered me included:

– Testosterone is liable for sex drive in both sexes!

– Men (on average) often have ten times the maximum amount of testosterone as ladies (on average)

This discussed a hell of a great deal to me. I never really knew before this:

– Why women tended to come across men a bit scary – Why I was very hurt by the militant feminists in the 70s saying that women had the same sex drive as males, just they might control it – when I knew “for a fact” that that had to be wrong by definition – basically a male sex drive is just about unrestrained – and to many males it’s unrestrained.

OK the Militants had a number of points to confirm – as did the Suffragettes – as well as one should not be very hard on them if they sometimes lashed out endlessly.

There are a few conclusions I involved after this BBC programme, many of which had been currently half-formed opinions: – Women and go now; Highly recommended Resource site, men can only survive together in case they look for a suitable compromise between relative sex drives of 1 and 10 with the purpose to be fair to both, and in such a way as to maintain a relationship. The answer will be different for each and every few to be found.

– If there’s a main Designer or God these days, one who (amongst other things) created and invented Darwin to describe the way his plan works, subsequently developing one half of the Human Couple with an extensive sex drive and an urge to shag something in skirts (amongst other things!) as well as the various other with an extensive urge to nurture her resulting young, next we thereby become the fittest species and are more than likely to survive. If males had a negligible sex drive as well as females had the identical sex drive as males, would we settle down and also spawn the coming generation? But no, I don’t think so somehow!

Testosterone is really what defines males as male – though, as I said, it is additionally found in the female body at about one tenth the level within men.

As a hormone:

– it stimulates the enhancement of male sexual characteristics

– it can assist in preventing osteoporosis in later life – it has a key feature in supporting the immune system.

However I think it’s also clear that testosterone is to some degree a mixed blessing and also you can have an excessive amount of or not enough and there are dangers with both situations.
