Hairy men always seem to be more favored. The reason is, are hairy men more attractive to women in appearance, or are hairy men more sexually capable? They are explained one by one below.

Men have a lot of body hair, which gives them an extremely masculine and tough look. Compared with white-faced scholars with thin skin and tender flesh, men with this characteristic are favored by many women. There are two reasons for this: one is because men have a lot of body hair and have a strong natural body, which can bring women more security; the other is because it is said that men with a lot of body hair have strong sexual ability and strong sexual desire. Is this really the case, or is it just wishful thinking on the part of some men and women?

The amount of body hair is mainly affected by androgens

The testicles are most closely related to male physiological functions, because the testicles can produce androgens. Male testicles produce androgens, which determine a male’s physiological functions throughout his life, from sexual differentiation during the embryonic period to changes in secondary sexual characteristics during adolescence, from the maintenance of sexual function to fertility, etc., and are everywhere.

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 androgen levels have a significantly higher chance of hair loss than men 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 is enough to show how amazing the human body is.

The relationship between androgens and sexual performance

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 the hospital for treatment.

From a physiological perspective, secondary sexual characteristics can reflect a certain degree of male sexual function in some aspects. Body hair is mainly affected by androgens, that is, high levels of androgens result in 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.

Body hair does not reflect sexual ability

Sexual ability covers a wide range of things. From a physiological point of view, to judge the strength of sexual function, in addition to androgen levels, it also includes the total number of sperm in a lifetime, the number of sexual activities, the length of sexual activities, etc. From a psychological point of view, it includes the psychological intensity of sexual impulses, frequency of sexual impulses, etc. None of this has anything to do with how much body hair you have.

The secondary characteristics of a man can only reflect the strength of his sexual function to a certain extent. Like body hair, when male androgen levels are relatively high, there will be more body hair. But body hair is also related to genetic factors. Therefore, it cannot be said that men with lots of body hair will necessarily have strong sexual abilities. Male friends don’t have to worry about the amount of body hair.
