Can we get real for a minute?
Being a human is just downrightweirdsometimes regardless of sex.
Men’s bodies, in particular, can go through someTwilight Zone-quality stuff.
Here are some of the strangest and most surprising things that the average male body can actually do.
Biologically speaking, all males were once female.
Without testosterone, all embryos would be female.
Say what, now?
One of the easiest ways to prove this reality comes down to the nipples.
Hear us out: have you ever wondered why men have nipples?
Come on, weallhave.
According to Dr. Bribiescas, fetuses develop nipples very early on.
But, due to testosterone,mostmen won’t develop the ability to produce milkwhereas women will.
Yes, hormones are what render a man’s nipples basically decorative.
A much smaller percentage found the pheromone to have a sweet smell, similar to vanilla.
Lastly, a third group of people couldn’t smellanything neither good nor bad.
While men are responsible for producing androstenone, we’reallinvolved in how the smell is perceived.
Could this be possible?
As it turns out, yes.
And it’s really not all that uncommon.
“Advanced technology has made it possible to demonstrate its occurrence even before the 16th week of gestation.”
Jakobovits went on to explain that he himself had observed the “phenomenon.”
The more you know.
Or, asBBC Newsput it: “[the] penis is a competitive beast.”
Although this idea has not yet been proven, the research and experiments provide the basis for the belief.
Or should we say, inphallible.
Yet and still, the average speed at which of these “swimmers” are expelled may surprise you.
To put that into perspective, that’s faster thanUsain Bolt, the world’s fastest runner.
It’s also faster than the speed you’re allowed to drive in many residential areas.
After their initial dive into the pool, so to speak, sperm slow down considerably.
A little testosterone goes a long way
Testosterone is a big deal.
It’s what’s responsible for turning embryos biologically male, after all.
However, science has proved thattestosterone cannot be blamedfor these attributes.
Testosterone is also not something that’s just pumping through men’s veins in high quantities.
But, what does that even mean?
Still, it’s an important hormone.
That said, it is markedly different than menopause.
As many women know, menopause is the result of changes in the amount of hormones produced.
Men, on the other hand, don’t actually stop producing hormones.
However, many men will experience lower testosterone production in old age.
TheCleveland Clinicreported fatigue, weakness, and impotence to be markers of “male menopause.”
For men struggling with the symptoms of andropause, hormone replacement therapy may be a viable option to consider.
Nevertheless,thatiswhat science tells us.
The exact reason for this is, however, is unknown.
“It could be diet, bigger GI tracts, and/or swallowing more air,” he hypothesized.
Though, there could still be other factors at play.
