The role of testosterone in men and sexual function is well studied.

Testosterone is much higher in men (200-1100 in teen males and then 200 - 800 in adult men) compared to <80 in teen females and <40 in adult women). It decreases with age and also can decrease throughout the day.

Testosterone is so much higher in men as it drives fetal development of male internal and external genitals, it drives all pubertal changes in teen boys (height, body and pubic hair, genital changes, increased libido) and it supports health for men throughout adulthood (sperm production, red blood cell production, bone and muscle strength, sex drive, mental health).

In women, less testosterone is produced and most of what is produced is converted to estradiol. If women do not convert well, they end up with PCOS.

Healthy levels of testosterone depend on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which triggers your pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH) which travels to th gonads and stimulates the release of testosterone in men and the release of estrogen and progesterone in women.

There is a biological drive for a higher sex drive in men in order to keep the population growing. They can impregnate at any time. [/quote]
