People talk about the relation of testoterone and sex. My question is, are they talking about wanting to do sex or erection/hardness?177.207.101.179 (talk) 21:29, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read the article Testosterone? Martin of Sheffield (talk) 21:53, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We cannot know what these people are talking about, but testosterone appears to play a role in both sexual motivation (see Effects of hormones on sexual motivation § Testosterone) and in the physiological process of achieving an erection[1][2][3] (see also Erectile dysfunction § Testosterone).  --Lambiam 06:38, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
