Testosterone


Women have you ever thought why your significant other has cheated on you? Have you ever wondered if men go through life changes such as menopause as women do?  To answer the last question is yes, and it’s called Andropause. Testosterone is said to cause men to have multiple sex partners and yes to have Andropause. In our book (M. McIntyre et al., 2006; van Anders, Hamilton, & Watson, 2007) claim that men with high testosterone levels that are married or have a long term relationship are more likely to have more sexual partners than that of  men who has low levels and is in the same age range. In a study it was determine that Testosterone levels did not drop after marriage or a long term relationship. It said that because men who are married or in a long term relationship do not have to work as hard to have a sex partner they’re levels drop. But the study didn’t reveal what happens first. Testosterone is a natural hormone that men produce in early puberty and declines through years, it diminishes pain and anxiety.

  1. Hey Robert very interesting blog. Let's hope that men do not blame there cheating or sexual affairs with another woman due to a hormone imbalance! A cheater is a cheater and that is just plain wrong and I see it as a major weakness in a man. Definately not someone I would take back in the long run.

  2. Testosterone is a natural hormone in men, but like ashley stated let's hope that it won't be a reason for men to have more sexual partners. Now the video makes a lot of sense on how men do also have what women call menopause, and unfortunately it's not being diagnosed enough or correctly.
    I do like that the doctor was stating that certain clinics are giving men testosterone to replenish the what they do not have because I do believe people get antidepressants more often than they should instead of really looking at the problems like andropause and menopause.
