Hormonal replacement and sexuality in men.

J M Davidson, M Kwan, W J Greenleaf

    Clinics in Endocrinology and Metabolism
    |November 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Testosterone replacement therapy shows promise for hyposexuality, influencing libido and sexual response. While it impacts sexual activity, its direct effect on erectile function is less clear, possibly acting via sensation rather than cognition.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Neuroscience
    • Sexual Medicine

    Background:

    • Hormonal replacement therapy for hyposexuality is a recent area of scientific investigation.
    • Controlled studies are emerging to explore the effects of androgens on sexual function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dose-response relationship between testosterone and sexual measures.
    • To understand the role of androgens in male sexual function and behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • Controlled experimental studies examining hormonal replacement therapy.
    • Analysis of correlations between testosterone levels and sexual responses.

    Main Results:

    • Testosterone (T) dose-response relationships exist for sexual measures, but require further detail.
    • High T levels correlate with stronger responses to erotic stimuli in normal populations.
    • Aging-related T decline has a minor impact on sexual function behavior changes.
    • Androgen aromatization is not essential for sexual action; dihydrotestosterone may be less effective.
    • T increases overall male sexual activity but may not directly facilitate erectile mechanisms.
    • T's primary action appears to be on libido, subsequently stimulating other sexual aspects.

    Conclusions:

    • Testosterone's primary effect on male sexuality may be through enhancing libido and pleasurable sensations, rather than direct cognitive or erectile mechanisms.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the complex interplay between androgens, sexual function, and behavior.
