Low testosterone is often blamed for low sex drive in men. But does having high levels truly fuel sexual desire? Well, the fluctuations in testosterone may not influence sexual desire as much as previously thought, suggests a recent study.
The study led by an international team from the University of California, Santa Barbara, evaluated the connection between testosterone, sexual desire, and courtship efforts in young men and found that fluctuations in daily testosterone levels were linked to improved courtship behaviors, particularly among single men. Men with higher testosterone levels may see improved fertility, but not necessarily a boost in sexual desire.
