Do boys have hormones that make them more sensitive, etc? Not like a menstral cycle, but some sort of emotional hormone?

Hello, my name is Mister Oxytocin! I am released during orgasm and right after childbirth, and I make everyone feel full of lovey-dovey feelings!

Hey, "mr." Oxytocin, why you gotta be so gender-specific, huh?

Men have hormonal cycles like women do, but they're much more irregular and they tend to change on a daily basis rather than a monthly one.

Men and women have the same hormones, it's just men tend to have more androgens (such as testosterone) and women tend to have more estrogens (such as estradiol).

Oxytocin also facilitates childbirth and causes lactation.

Men can lactate too!

Haha, I learned that on Wikipedia.

There are much weirder things out there rashi.

I just took my neuro test on hormones and sex, there's way too much lodged up in this brain of mine.
