Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2017/Testosterone and dominance

Feedback
This may be moderately off-topic and borderline offensive but I've always wondered why men (my friends and male relatives, at least, very much so) seem to have disgust for homosexual advances on them whereas women seem not only more calm and able to brush unwanted interest off, but can even be more experimental without altering their perception of their sexuality. Is there a relationship between higher testosterone levels, the need to dominate, and a sense of alarm or threat that occurs when some men are approached by other men? Or, is this a result of environmental factors? Is there a power balance at play and how does this weave into a man's identity? --Taylormeggles (discuss • contribs) 05:21, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Taylor for your feedback! This is a very interesting point and I will definitely be looking into it during my research.

Hey there! I am doing the other Testosterone related topic: Testosterone and Sexual motivation. So I am really interested in keeping up to date with what you are doing, as I imagine they tie in together quite well. I have had a few really interesting suggestions on my page that I thought I would share with you alongside some of my own thoughts. You could potentially include sections related to I think it would also be interesting to discuss dominance in relation to performance in the bedroom and - on the other end of the scale - the workplace! Id also love to see some information on what happens when there is a large gathering of men: whether their testosterone levels spike with the desire to be the most "manly" in the room! I'm not sure if this is a real occurrence: but I would love to find out if this is a myth or a fact!
 * Sex crimes
 * Individual differences such as gender, age and/or sexuality

Anyway! Good luck! I hope I have provided you with some interesting feedback :) Demibree (discuss • contribs) 08:35, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi again Amelia,

In your 'sex crimes' case study section you say that 'hypo-sexuality' could be associated with sex offenses due to higher testosterone. However hypo- is a prefix meaning 'low'. Do you mean to say 'hyper'?--Taylormeggles (discuss • contribs) 01:35, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Referencing style
Note that currently two different referencing styles are used - APA style and MediaWiki style (which puts the references into external links). Either is fine, but be consistent rather than use a mixture. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 20:41, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Hey there! Read through your chapter and it all looks like it is coming together really well! The only comment I have is this sentence took me a few goes to understand "Leydig cells convert cholesterol like substances into testosterone when luteinising hormone is sent from the pituitary gland." I was going to just edit the page and put a "a" or "the" in between when and luteinising, but I was unsure if that would be correct? Maybe review that whole sentence and reword as the sentence doesnt really flow. Other than that, good job! :) U3111270 (discuss • contribs) 09:41, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
