								popular belief.
								Since men produce more testosterone than women, 
								they have a more developed musculature. Hence 
								the misconception that testosterone has a sexual 
								effect.
								In reality, testosterone is the hormone that 
								stimulates the production of proteins, which is 
								the effect that bodybuilders are looking for.
								However, testosterone is a precursor to 
								dihydrotestosterone, which is the male sex 
								hormone. Testosterone is also a precursor of the 
								female hormone estradiol which is a 
								proliferative hormone. This is why the use of 
								testosterone to stimulate sexual activity 
								
								in men 
								or women is dangerous (1-2-3-4).
