Testos monogamy 1

This article is just a flight of my ideas.


It was just a heartache on the 28th of Feb 2007.

What does it take to be faithful to your love?

It’s all about self-control.

Self-consciousness is crucial.

Anti-androgens


“Less than 5% of male animals are monogamous” Jane said, "Someone like you"

It’s just an instinct.

It’s certainly androgen.


Let’s take a look at the endocrinology of love.

It’s what I learnt from med school.

Androgen = male sex hormones, such as testosterone and androsterone

serum level of free testosterone

A : in adult female = 0.3 -1.9 ng/dL

B : in adult male     = 9 - 30 ng/dL

(Testos in men is around 20 to 30 times greater than that in women)

serum level of testosterone

A : in male    =  350 - 800 ng/dL

B : in female = 10 - 60 ng/dL

C : in prepubertal children < 10 ng/dL


Romantic movies promote unrealistic expectations.

“Oh I want you, I need you, I can’t live without you” is just a crap.

There is NO true love.

There is NO love that lasts forever.

นพพรทิ้งคุณหญิงกีรติ, คุณหญิงกีรติรักนพพรเพียงคนเดียว

Soulmate only exists in fairy-tales.

And “and then they live together happily ever after” has never happened in dareal world.

Unless the prince-charming is a castrated queer who just wants to get a marriage of convenience and the princess doesn’t seem to care about sex and his sexual preference.


In Neurobiology, love is merely just a neurotransmission in some of the 5-HT-ergic and dopaminergic pathway.
