Reading Time: < 1 minuteBy Brooke Donald Men with higher levels of testosterone are more easily threatened, engaging in masculine overcompensation in response, says a Stanford sociologist. We've all heard it before: if a guy is made to feel less than manly, he'll act even more macho to make up for it.

Robb Willer, an associate professor of sociology at Stanford, has been studying masculinity since he was a graduate student, lending empirical data to the popular beliefs about emasculation.

Reading Time: 2 minutesTestosterone is considered to be the "male hormone" that's produced in men by the testes. Although women's ovaries produce some testosterone, the hormone is produced in much higher concentrations in men and it is responsible for many of the secondary sex characteristics seen in men such as a deeper voice and hair on the chest, in addition to contributing to a healthy libido, building muscle mass, and maintaining energy levels. The problems associated with high testosterone levels are infrequent and rare in middle-aged and elderly men who are not receiving testosterone or other steroid treatments. When the testosterone level becomes … Read more »
