While a man’s levels of sex hormones are at their highest when he wakes up, a woman’s are at their lowest. Male and female testosterone levels are at their highest at opposite ends of the day, so they are out of sync, says consultant gynaecologist Gabrielle Downey, of the Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust.
Downey says it takes more than hormones to get a woman in the mood, so men need to make an active effort.”
Women’s hormones rise and fall more over their monthly cycle than through the course of a day. At their height -midway through her cycle -a woman’s levels of testosterone will be 30 times higher than at the start.
