Therefore men with high testosterone levels would be >definitely heterosexual, women with high testosterone levels would lean >more towards bisexual. Does that maybe clear things up? ......... > Well I've reading the posts on High testosterone levels. My own expierence---I walked into the endo office for my initial consultation and she asks "How's your sex drive ?" I look at her, then I look at my 38 year old husband who I've been with for the past 20 years,then I look back at the doctor and say "Like I'm wishing HE was 18 again, does that answer your question?" she laughs and says thats the excess testosterone.. When my testosterone was elevated,I had the sex drive of a 18 male BUT BUT BUT I was never attracted to or desired woman. I was having sex two to three times a day with my husband and then looking at any male between the ages 28-38 and thinking to myself humm...I wonder what he would be like in the sack. My poor husband, at first he didn't complain at all but after months of this he would try to sneak off to work Quietly so as not to wake me. One time I caught him almost out the door and said "what do you mean you have to go to work, you own the company get back in this bed. He was like "I'm 38 years old and I can't keep up this pace anymore. " Well anyway my testosterone levels are normal and so is my sex drive. The point I am trying to make is that although I can look at a woman and appreciate her beauty, At no time In my life have I ever been attracted to or desired a woman. High testosterone or not I'am a heterosexual woman. The only effect excess testosterone had on me was, the attraction and desire I have for men naturally,was magnified. If you are finding that you are attracted to woman or men and woman I think that is an issue you never really delt with before on a conscience level. I don't think excess testosterone causes and individual to choose one sexual preference over another and the same goes for low levels of testosterone. I think testosterone levels definatlly play a major role in the intensity of anyones sex drive but not at all in gender preference. This is just my opinion, but I think gender preference and gender identification are inborn. I think you have another issue to face other than high testosterone. I think maybe the excess testosterone is making your attraction to woman an issue that you can no longer supress. Maybe for the first time your conscience mind is now aware or acknowledging something that was always present within you. This is not a bad thing to explore ones feelings and be true to who you were born to be. This might be an issue that would have come up at this point in your life even if you didn't have high testosterone. I hope you find the answers you are looking for because I can see that you are troubled by this revelation and you shouldn't be. It would be a wonderful world if we could all go through life just being accepted for who we are.
