Bro, you have so much body hair, you must be very strong in that area!

Thick hair has always been a symbol of a man's masculinity.

According to legend, the most genuine man has chest hair that can be used to tie a bow, and leg hair that can prevent mosquito bites.

There is even a legend that "the more body hair you have, the stronger your ability in that area."

Is this statement reliable? Is there any relationship between the amount of body hair and the strength of sexual function?

The connection between excessive body hair and sexual desire and ability is mainly based on the idea that excessive secretion of androgen can lead to excessive body hair.

When it comes to testosterone, people often think of "manliness", manliness, bravery, and strength...

So, the rumor that more body hair = muscular men began to spread.

But in fact, whether you are a hairy "kiwi" or a clean "boiled egg" depends not only on androgen, but more importantly on genetic factors.

Normally speaking, if your parents have a lot of body hair, then you will most likely not escape the fate of being a "kiwi", and your future children may also be a "kiwi".

In addition, the sensitivity of the skin hair follicles to androgens will also affect whether you have more or less hair.

Some hair follicles are sensitive, and normal levels of androgen can cause them to grow thick body hair; while some hair follicles are "cold", and no matter how much hormone stimulation they receive, no hair will grow.

This is what caused the following discrepancy.

Some people have clean white faces but extremely dense leg hair;

Some people have full beards, but their legs are white, tender and smooth.

So, if we use body hair to measure whether a person is successful or not, then bald people would cry so hard that they would faint in the toilet.

When "The Bad Kids" was popular last year, some netizens analyzed: the male protagonist Zhang Dongsheng is bald, has no children, and is divorced, which means that he should not have good sexual ability.

Some netizens also refuted: Baldness is due to the high secretion of testosterone, so that part should be stronger! Look at those NBA stars, the men among men, who is not bald!

So which statement makes more sense?

In fact, the bald man has something to say: If there are no other diseases, simple baldness has nothing to do with sexual ability.

Most common male hair loss is androgenic alopecia, also known as seborrheic alopecia, which is mainly caused by the local hair follicles on the scalp being more sensitive to androgens, which shortens the growth phase and prolongs the resting phase, resulting in miniaturization of hair follicles.

Looking at the entire body, however, there is no significant increase in androgen levels in bald men.

The point is, even if the testosterone level is really high, it does not necessarily mean that the sexual desire or sexual ability will be strong.

Regardless of whether the hair is thick or not, the core issue is the relationship between androgen and sexual desire and sexual ability.

Then you underestimate sexual desire.

Human sexual desire is mainly controlled by the brain. In addition to the influence of androgens, it is also related to serum testosterone, gonadotropin, etc., and even mental state, genetics, age, environment, culture and other factors will have an impact.

Whether or not your sexual ability is strong is mainly related to erectile function. In other words, if the hardness is not enough, it doesn’t matter if you have eight-pack abs, have an extraordinary appearance, or are super big. (Ahem, I’m going to drive if I say any more~)

Therefore, sexual desire and sexual ability are very complex behaviors, and are restricted by many factors. It is really too hasty to make a conclusion based solely on whether the hair is thick or not!
