Hormones and Sex
It is often said that those men who have higher levels of testosterone have more sex than their peers with lower amounts of testosterone.
And, there have been studies to prove that this is the case.
In fact there are strong relationships between testosterone level testing and increased sexual activity.
This is particularly positive for adolescent males.
However, there has been an area that lacks frequent testosterone level sample tests and sexual behavior.
Study
Therefore a study was conducted to measure the levels of testosterone and monitor sexual activity frequency.
The research was spread over the course of a two year period and measurements were taken on a weekly basis.
This included both testosterone level samples and sexual activity reports.
Over time they repeated the test of measuring testosterone levels and comparing them against sexual activity levels.
Conclusion
Once the study was completed and the findings assessed it was concluded that high levels of testosterone were significantly associated with a higher level of sexual activity.
Increased levels of testosterone (particularly through the stages of puberty) and their timings are able to predict coital and non-coital levels of sexual activity.
Does testosterone Affect Women’s Sexual Desire?
Just to confirm, sexual desire is usually higher in men than in women.
This is not all and every case, but on average men want sex more than women.
With such a lack of information or research studies available, a study was established.
The research included 91 women who completed questionnaires and provided saliva to monitor testosterone levels.
Results
There was a positive link between testosterone levels in women and desire. Masturbation levels were also related to this link.
