Too often, folks think of hormones for the sexes in very simple terms, i.e. Testosteron means male, Estrogen means female. Truth is, we all share many of the same hormones, just in different concentrations.
But there is also Progesterone, Oxytocin, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone), and many others. There may be too many hormones in the human body for one to describe in a Yahoo! Answer what the appropriate concentration levels should be, man versus woman.
But it might be helpful to know that, for example, Women need 3 times as much of [____ hormone] than do men. Men need 2 times as much of [____ hormone] than do women. I'm trying to get a feel for relative strength.
I knew a woman once who claimed that she needed sex on a regular basis because the semen constituted testosterone therapy for her which she needed. Hmmm...Is that right?
Excellent book: "The Alchemy of Love and Lust" by Crenshaw:
