Alternative title: Testosterone fluctuations of <3% don’t have an impact on sexual desire (wow)
I’m not really sure what the point of this study is. Unless I’m not seeing it correctly (I skimmed it) this is just testing sexual desire based on natural testosterone fluctuations each day. The fluctuations are minuscule with the average being 14.215 ng/dl (unless I’m reading this wrong), which is expected.
Okay? People with natural day to day testosterone fluctuations don’t feel any dramatic effect on their sexual desire. Groundbreaking stuff.
I also cannot see the average testosterone of the meager 41 subjects which is a useful metric.
They could have used methodologies that are shown to purposefully fluctuate testosterone levels and tested that way. For example, being in the presence of an attractive woman spikes testosterone briefly. Poor sleep reduces testosterone, alcohol consumption decreases testosterone briefly. Doing a heavy weightlifting workout spikes testosterone briefly — and I can certainly attest to that in regards to sexual desire. Etc
