Honest Testosterone

[IMT staff]

Testosterone, the bad boy among sex hormones, has a sweet side. Researchers in Germany report they have found that the stuff that makes men aggressive and confrontational also makes them less likely to lie.

The surprising discovery flies in the face of all that we have been told about testosterone. It's why a guy is more likely than a gal to punch someone out in an effort to prove himself manly, or the baddest dude in the bar. Women have testosterone too, but not nearly as much as men.

Recently, however, scientists have challenged the view that the hormone is the root of all evil. No one is saying it doesn't play a major role in male sexuality. But a number of scholars now think that's not all there is to the story.

I'm of the opinion that most of the negative side effects we see contributed to testosterone are actually those of estradiol being converted from testosterone. I know the only time I get really aggressive or moody is when my E2 is all out of whack. It's quite funny how an internet search for high E2 symptoms in women match those of "roid rage".

Great post!
