IS DHT AN IMPORTANT HORMONAL REGULATOR OF MALE SEXUALITY?

// October 29th, 2010 // No Comments » // Hormones

Several lines of reasoning indicate that DHT may be a more important modulator of male sexuality than previously believed. When 100 healthy young male army recruits had baseline hormone measurements and then were asked to record their sexual activity, those with the highest baseline serum DHT level proved to be the most sexually active.

But isn’t DHT the hormone that stimulates prostate growth? Wouldn’t raising a man’s DHT level cause his prostate to enlarge, making it more likely that he would develop BPH? Apparently not.
