Speaker: Kenneth Proefrock. This presentation discusses the physiological effects of testosterone in adult men and women, and conditions resulting from too much or too little available "T". Fetal development of sex organs is affected by testosterone and estrogen, which brings us to a discussion of gender identity, and the question of nature vs nurture. Research supporting the determination of sexual orientation by fetal development and brain physiology is presented. Hormonal effects on adult sexual and social behavior are explored, and herbs that can be used to settle the mind, cope with stress and increase libido are described. 16SW27
