Discuss the biological and psychological cycles that are present in men.

What will be an ideal response?


A study found that men's testosterone levels displayed weekly fluctuations, peaking on weekends. Men who had a female partner and wished to have a child with her displayed a 28-day cycle of testosterone levels, leading the researchers to hypothesize that the men's hormone cycles might have synchronized with their partner's. Strikingly, men's testosterone levels also vary with sexual activity. In this same study, men who had sex with an unfamiliar partner showed a 100 percent increase in their testosterone levels the following morning.
