I'm not sure what the ethinyl estradiol would do to a guy. But it is the estrogen used in the contraceptive pill. It's in such small amounts I don't think it would do much, especially if he took levonorgestrel along with it.
Norethisterone has a C19 rating and is derived from testosterone
Levonorgestrel has a C19 rating and is derived from testosterone also, but is 5.3 times stronger and has an Androgen activity more than 8 times that of norethisterone.
The C rating is the amount of androgynous effect the hormone has on the body. Women taking the 'pill' are having their female reproductive hormones suppressed while the synthetic version of testosterone keeps her from ovulating and therefore prevents fertilization of the egg.
I would not recommend a guy taking these substances because they are synthetic, but knowing what it is and what it does, leads one to think that he would become more hormonally 'manly'. Notice, I said hormonally. No telling what it really does. Make you hairier? Deepen your voice more? Make you more violent? Just dunno.
Just my guess and I'm sticking to it.
