Extra Testosterone Reduces Your Empathy, Researchers Find

A new study from Utrecht and Cambridge Universities has for the first time found that an administration of testosterone under the tongue in volunteers negatively affects a person's ability to 'mind read', an indication of empathy.

John Gray uses Hormones to explain his POV

John Gray, the guy who keeps on writing about Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, has made a new book.
And this time he speaks about Hormones. And it seems that he has done some research and has some interesting facts.
Has anyone read this book?

He presented his book with some of the principal ideas here:

What do you think of it?
It would be interesting to go through the video, and see what are his main claims, find the bibliographic references for them, and then find if we agree on them.

Abstract

♥ - Is It Low T?

Community topics: 

I saw a commercial for http://isitlowt.com and immediately wondered if they (Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc., now part of Abbott Laboratories) even considered a porn or orgasm connection? Drug pushers fighting natural drugs with man made ones. No wonder so many of us are zombies.

Testosterone concerns

I'm wondering what effect not orgasming has on testosterone? I'm reading a book right now (The Testosterone Factor) which says that for a man's testosterone levels to be optimal he should have sex at least once every 4-5 days and ideally "once a day or so". Now of course the book doesn't make any distinction between orgasmic and non-orgasmic sex (books almost never do) but I think the implication here is an orgasm once a day for optimal testosterone.

Can years of over masturbation, lower testosterone?

My question here is can years of over masturbation, lower testosterone?

I got my result today and my level of testosterone was 212 ng/dl. The range that quest diagnostic lab suggests is 241 - 827 ng/dl and I read on the internet that the average for a male who is 32 years (me). Should be around 600 ng/dl

My sex hormone binding glob was 12 nmol/L, the suggested range by quest was 8-48 nmol/L.

She Doesn"t Trust You? Blame the Testosterone

SHE DOESN’T TRUST? YOU BLAME THE TESTOSTERONE.
By NICHOLAS WADE
NY Times

The glue that binds a human society together is trust. But people who trust others too much are likely to get taken for a ride. Both trust and distrust, it now seems, are influenced by hormones that can induce people to ratchet their feeling of trust up or down.

Testosterone - much ado about nothing.

Below are abstracts with my comments. I've studied and searched, and found all the abstracts (I think) on testosterone (T) levels and orgasm/ejaculation.
A lot of questions arise concerning T levels and ejaculation, and non-ejaculation, and the "hangover", or abstinence, or excessive porn use.
The results of studies are all over the map on T levels and ejaculation. My opinion is that T levels has little to do with any of the above. Look elsewhere - as in the brain - for answers to your questions.
