English: Complete demonstration of the orgasm process of an adult male. The subject is a 27-year-old healthy circumcised Caucasian male. The video begins with the subject's genitals in a non-aroused flaccid state (0:00). As arousal progresses(0:30), the subject's penis becomes erect, the scrotum tightens and the testicles elevate.
Transient masculinization is driven by complex hormonal processes that result in temporary expression of male-typical physical or behavioral traits in females. The phenomenon is primarily mediated by the endocrine system, particularly the secretion and regulation of androgens such as testosterone. These hormones influence the development of ...
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and androgen in males. [4] In humans, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as testicles and prostate, as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair.
For instance, in birds, male and female somatic cells may exhibit intrinsic differences due to CASI, but the extent to which these differences manifest in tissues can be influenced by circulating hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. Hormones act as amplifiers, enhancing or suppressing sex-specific characteristics that are intrinsically ...
Male sexual arousal. On the left, the male genitalia are in regular, flaccid state. On the right, the male is sexually aroused, the penis is erect and the scrotum is tense. Erection of nipples; Penile tumescence and erection; The veins in the penis may become more prominent; Tightening and/or retraction of the foreskin often exposing the glans ...
Research from male rhesus monkeys suggests testosterone functions to increase sexual motivation, thereby motivating males to compete for access to sexual partners. It is postulated that the motivating effects of testosterone in male rhesus monkeys promotes successful sexual competition and may be particularly important motivating tools for low ...
HPG regulation in males, with the inhibin/activin system playing a similar role on GnRH-producing cells. The hypothalamus is located in the brain and secretes GnRH. [1] GnRH travels down the anterior portion of the pituitary via the hypophyseal portal system and binds to receptors on the secretory cells of the adenohypophysis. [2]
A study using male rats showed that testosterone may block social isolation, which results in hippocampal neurogenesis reaching homeostasis—regulation that keeps internal conditions stable. A Brdu analysis showed that excess testosterone did not increase this blocking effect against social isolation ; that is, the natural circulating levels ...
