i have heard too, that testosterone peaks in 18 yr old males and then
declines. my question is, if testosterone levels cause violence then why
isn't there a relationship between age and say domestic violence? And if
the other about women is true then why isn't there a reciprocal
relationship of violence. ie. young couple are married. males beats
wife. beats wife less as he gets older but womyn then takes up the
violence due to rising testosterone.
Fact: men with more testosterone go bald faster. if testosterone is
linked to aggression then bald men should be more aggressive.
facts are: male violence against women increases with age.
women who are violent against men begin that way and do not suddenly become
violent when they turn 50.
how does alcohol affect testosterone levels?
we know alcohol facilitates violence.
if anyone knows the answers to these questions please post.
