The Original Whore with the Heart of Gold: "Although both genders share many emotions surrounding sex, including love, tenderness, nurturing and the kind of testosterone-induced arousal pejoratively referred to as lust, men live with testosterone levels from 30 to over 100 times higher than those of women, on average. Trish Thomas in Issue 5 of Future Sex writes of a female-to-male transsexual named Max, who describes his emotional changes after taking male hormones:
I [now] understand why men are the animals that they are. You see sex in so many places that it's not necessarily meant to be. I see a pretty woman walking down the street and I can't keep my eyes off her. I don't even realize that I'm staring. Then I think to myself, Well what's wrong with that, I just think she's good-looking.
Sex for men is like a buzzer that keeps going off whether or not you want it to, making it hard to integrate sex into the rest of life. Where sex is concerned, men, not women, are at the mercy of emotion they cannot control."
