Testosterone...And Questions

[jonb]

The male "gene" is SRY, or sex-determining region of the Y chromosome. XYY males are actually fairly normal, but tend to have a lower sperm count. XYY males average about 7 cm taller, and more prone to acne, but genital growth and secondary sex characteristics are normal. They also tend to be early bloomers.

And for the record, there is no proven correlation between XYY and mental retardation, narcissistic personality disorder, or antisocial personality disorder.

I am quite certain I have read just the opposite regarding secondary sex characteristics and bloomers. When I read about it, I thought I was reading about myself! So either I'm confused as hell or something. I will go to a search engine and see if I can nail this down!

Well, Klinefelter's is XXY, XXXY, XXYY, etc. I thought you were asking about XYY, which it couldn't be. HTH

Ah! Yes, it's the XXY syndrome I was thinking about. Studies have shown that XXY does not always result in the extreme Klinefelter's(sp?) syndrome. The "mild" cases are usually undiagnosed. Some studies claim the XXY mild cases are tall, but late puberty, undramatic secondary sex characteristics. Thanks for the correction!

XXY IS Klinefelter's. Basically, there are different chromosome disorders; of all of them, XYY is the only one which won't cause some problems.

That's why I said "extreme" Klinefelter's syndrome though, outer symptoms would have be clearer. Many XXYs don't have the extremely low testosterone, micro-penis, etc. A random test for XXY found it much more common than thought though still very rare. Many undiagnosed cases because the symptons were not all that obvious in many.

yes thats exactly what it does basically stunts the growth in your testicles and penis , because of it nothin really grew much, but other then that i'm normal, besides sterility , i probably won't be able to have kids, but i can have sexual intercourse so thats good, but i do have micropenis also so it makes it difficult! I get normal erections and get horny just like everybody else, well i guess not normal cause of the size , but everything works, i would have replyed earlier but i was on vacation

:spank: Knight and i saw a TV show the other day that said that the ring/index finger corelation is an idication of testosterone levels

- its a fact

but testosterone doesn't build a big penis, it does build hair loss, bad attitudes, square jaws, wide shoulders and road rage

I was born two weeks early, my ring finger is longer, I have a square jaw, wide shoulders and a big penis.

Giving growth hormone to a prepubertal boy causes early onset of puberty, but doesn-t make the boy become a man with a huge penis. On the contrary, it causes his long bones of his legs and arms to fuse prematurely, so he ends up short in height. He develops secondary characteristics, as well, which makes him a bit of a freak at age 6, 8, or 9.

No growth or sex hormones should be administered except under the control of a good MD specialist.

A jack-off buddy of mine complained to his father, around age 16, that he just was not big enough in height or dick length. He ended up to be 6 feet 3 with a thin, eight inch dick. He never let me touch it, but I saw him in a gay sex mag once.

i was born 3 months early and im brety big. i hate to see what would happen if i went full term

Hmm, this thread is kind of interesting to me, awhile ago (6-7 weeks) i started taking Tribulus Terrestris, which makes your body naturally make more testosterone, I refuse to take supplements because those can supposedly mess you up pretty badly, but i'm really praying that these don't have the same effect, but it's an herb and not a medical marvel, so you never know, i haven't had any side effects so far, but i'm having to take some doxycyclonin for previous prostate problems, and the doctor is doing some bloodwork on me atm...

I've just heard that testosterone can make your dick bigger, not that it neccesarily will, and i'd like to think that can is a good thing.

Kind of related, I have often read studies saying that men with a longer ring finger than pointer finger are apparently more likely to be:

Better at Sport
Gay
In posession of a bigger penis

One out of three ain't bad

I'm pretty sure that being born pre-maturly doesn't make you have a smaller penis. I was born one month early and I have an 8" long and 5.5" around erection. It's not huge, but it is larger than all of my friends who were born on time or even late.

Same goes for me, born 2 months pre-mature and just about 7.5" / 6.5".
