Thanks for posting. Here are my questions for the researchers:
Do men in uncommitted romantic relationships have more or less testosterone?
What about committed unromantic relationships?
Were there only binary choices on this study? Committed or uncommitted? Romantic or nonromantic?
Does sexual frequency affect testosterone levels by raising or lowering them? "Committed" and "romantic" seem imprecise. I know a lot of people in committed, romantic relationships who have infrequent sex. Does lower testosterone cause the infrequent sex or is it a result of it?
In evolutionary terms, then, would this suggest that species survival is improved by lower testosterone levels among committed men? (theadvancedapes)
