性-人類性的基本層面
Sex
- Basic Aspects of Human Sexuality |

性激素的功能：雄激素 |
雄激素過多？
不僅睾丸激素的增加常常導致性活動增加、甚至強制的性活動，而且在某些情形下將某些性腳本（sexual
script）付諸行動時，更是如此。例如：意外的機遇、離婚後忽然如釋重負而“從事戀愛交往”、在度假期間、個人挫折、堅持自己權利的願望、修補已經損壞的自我形象的需要、荒淫無度時的財政壓力等等。另一方面，無論社會環境怎樣，睾丸激素水準的驟然下降通常會減少性活動。

The Role of Hormones: Testosterone |
Too much testosterone?
Increased or even compulsive sexual activity is very often caused not by an increase in testosterone production, but rather by the acting out of certain sexual scripts in certain situations. Examples: Unexpected opportunity, sudden freedom "to play the field" after a divorce or during vacations, personal frustration, a wish to assert oneself or the need to repair a damaged self-image, financial pressure in prostitution etc. On the other hand, it is true that a drastic lowering of the testosterone level (e.g. as a result of taking certain medications) usually reduces sexual activity regardless of social circumstances.
