What's testosterone?

Question

What's testosterone?

Answer 1

Testosterone is what is called the Male s*x Hormone.  It is produced in the testicles.  However, women's ovaries produce small amounts of testosterone, too.

Testosterone is what makes a man's muscles bigger and harder than a woman.  It makes a man's voice lower than a woman's.  It also effect s*x characteristics, like fertility and the ability and desire to mate.  

Unfortunately, it also can make a man angry or violent.  Testosterone is strongest in young men between about 15 and 25. That is why young men act so stupid! [Seriously!]

Some body builders inject extra testosterone in order to "bulk up".  BUT, the use of excessive testosterone can make them violent and make their testicles shrink.

As women get older, their ovaries reduce the the output of female hormones, and sometimes the testosterone in a woman's body takes over.  Particularly, the hair on their legs will get darker and they will grow hair on their face.

Answer 2

Have you tried the internet for some reference sites? Oh yeah, only testosterone driven people do that. You'd rather chat/blog about it here instead of get the real goods.

Answer 3

Male reproductive hormone, produced by the Lydig's cells in the testes. Responsible for the development of secondary sexual characters in males & maintenance of reproductive structures.

Answer 4

It's a male hormone that makes them feel tough.

Answer 5

It is a hormone that makes men into creeps and women into unflinching idealists about love and relationships due to their not having this creepy hormone. It is what makes a man a man and a woman live her life through a virtual world instead of the real one (i.e. MySpace, Facebook, Sims 2...). Some women even think that the advice that they give here, no matter how fleeting the thought, is always a good thing for the other person to hear. Many men use this forum to get many outlooks on a question and only answer questions within their expertise.
