Is less body hair in men related to sexual performance?

　　First, we should have a basic understanding of our body. male The testicles produce androgens, which determine a man’s physiological functions throughout his life, from sexual differentiation during embryonic period to changes in secondary sexual characteristics during adolescence, from the maintenance of sexual function to fertility, etc., everywhere.

　　From a physiological perspective, secondary sexual characteristics can reflect a certain degree of male sexual function. Body hair is mainly affected by androgens, that is, high levels of androgens result in relatively more body hair. But we cannot ignore the role of genetics. For example, many European and American men have significantly more body hair than yellow men, but their sexual ability does not necessarily mean they are stronger.

　　In addition, we need to note that the levels of hair and androgens at different locations on the male body are not consistent. The most typical example is our hair. Men with high androgens, hair loss The odds are significantly higher than those with low hormone levels. Therefore, researchers have developed anti-androgen drugs to treat male pattern baldness. This is related to the expression of androgen receptors in different parts, and scientists are still working hard to understand the mechanism. This goes to show how amazing the human body is.

　　Androgens are the biological basis of male sexual desire and sexual function, and can indeed be reflected through body surface characteristics to a certain extent. Our common patients with hypogonadism will have body surface abnormalities. For example, some young patients have not grown a beard after puberty, or they only need to shave once a week, their voice is still a clear childish voice, and their body hair is very little; but on the other hand, their father and male relatives and friends at home have normal body hair. There are also men who have passed puberty and have no genital development or pubic hair. These symptoms often remind us that hypogonadism may occur and we need to go to Hospital See a doctor.

　　Finally, what needs to be said to male friends, especially young people, is that physical features or secondary sexual characteristics can only reflect sexual ability from a certain angle and do not have much meaning. What's more, sexual ability itself varies from person to person, so there's no need to compare. As long as they are within normal physiological limits, differences in sexual ability have no medical or sociological significance and have no impact on life.
