From what I understand, men with excess testosterone can end up in prison due to aggression and poor sexual inpulse control. Men with an average amount are the most successful. These men can deal with conflicts in a controlled manner yet are assertive and competitive. Male hormones affect the brain in numerous ways. Male thinking tends to be very focused and object oriented. Testosterone causes an urge for multiple sexual partners and infidelity. Potent male hormones decline with age which is most likely why elderly men become more sociable, less competive, and more nurturing.

^Yeah, I would definetly say so. I always think about how successful/focused Asians are, having such low testosterone levels probably helps them. Negroids tend to have higher levels which lead to explosive behavior, lack of concentration, ending up in jail, etc. like the guy above said. I think it can be a good or a bad thing. For instance, if I don't release some( ) on a regular basis, I tend to feel more aggressive than usual and it becomes very difficult to concentrate. Sometimes being more aggressive is good (sports). As for passion, I find that very true as well, I think the more testosterone you have, the more animal-like you are.

1) I have way too much testosterone. (according to my doctor) I have problems staying monogomous and it's sometimes tough to remain passive and rational. However, these things can be overcome. It'll also make you lose your hair earlier, too. All the males in my family are the same way, so i'm assuming it's atleast somewhat genetic.
2) letting some steam off (masturbation or sex) will not lower your testosterone levels. If anything, having sex will increase your hormone production.

I think you know what I meant....if you didn't then I meant that after masterbation I feel far more relaxed and I can concentrate much better, not that it actually releases testosterone.

Maybe its like baldness? Some guys have it and others dont.

Both genders have it but women to a far lesser degree. It's a hormone that can easily be tested via blood sample. I'm not sure that I buy a huge variance among races, though.

Men have around 10 times more T than women.

It's a myth that going bald is a sign of high testosterone levels in men, although testosterone causes baldness there is a hormone in the human body that counteracts the balding effect, men who go bald dont produce enough of this hormone to balance out their testosterone level and so they go bald.
When I was younger I tried taking testosterone and it had no effect on my sex drive or my temper at all, it did make me put on muscle very quickly though, I think that maybe the guys who get an increase in sex drive had a low testosterone and/or sex drive to begin with.

that hormone is produced by the testicles, and it is responsible on the male features and the tendence to the females. the absence of this testosterone leads to the thickness.

Women manufacture testosterone also. I have a female friend who is almost 60 who takes testosterone to increase her enjoyment of sex. I find that downright creepy.

Wasnt there some study that suggested that high levels of testosterone cause baldness by "burning" out the root hairs? I'm not sure.
