What people are saying

The overall tone is one of curiosity and agreement, exemplified by comments highlighting the testosterone increase during sexual activity, mentioning specific figures like 72% and personal participant stories. While some posts critique or introduce related topics like herbal supplements, the tone remains supportive and exploratory, contributing to a moderate level of overall engagement and perceived impact.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions acknowledge the findings that sexual activity significantly increases testosterone levels, showing general support for the study's conclusions.

InterestHigh interest

Posts demonstrate high interest, referencing specific increases in testosterone and discussing related topics such as libido, herbal supplements, and social behaviors.

EngagementModerate engagement

Participants engage with the topic by sharing personal experiences, questioning assumptions, and linking testosterone changes to broader cultural or physiological contexts, indicating moderate engagement.

ImpactModerate impact

The discussions seem to influence perceptions about the relationship between sexual activity and hormonal changes, though primarily within a conversational context rather than creating urgent change or widespread policy impact.

Abstract in brief

  • This study examined how men's salivary testosterone levels change in a natural setting, specifically at a US sex club, comparing those participating in sexual activity to those merely observing.
  • Results showed that men's testosterone levels increased by about 36% during their visit, with a much larger increase (72%) among those actively participating in sex compared to observers (11%).
  • Interestingly, the study found that these testosterone changes were not related to the men's age and emphasized that engaging in sexual behavior had a stronger impact on testosterone levels than simply watching sexual activity, highlighting the importance of real-world settings.]

セックスをするために口説き、初めてを終えるまではテストステロンが大量に分泌される。 しかし、2回目以降は正常値に。なんとまぁ、動物的だなぁという感想です。 あえて訳しませんが、こんな研究もあります。自分がするより、他の人がしてるのを見るほうが・・・。 https://t.co/66ZRPvYKl7

@hubermanlab Tribulus Terrestris This Ayurvedic herb has a reputation for increasing testosterone. Evidence for that is lacking, but studies have shown it to raise libido. And more libido means more sex. And we KNOW more sex means higher testosterone. (https://t.co/alOdqTp835) https://t.co/Php0XD7qNN

3. The antithesis of the former - Sexual activity - This study found out that men having sex had an average increase of 72% of salivary testosterone afterwards. - One of the participants had a whopping 109% increase in Testosterone. https://t.co/pFahjaSyGl
