Sexuality can be divided into two aspects: "masculinity" and "femininity". The so-called "masculinity" refers to the proportion of male characteristics in someone, while the so-called "femininity" refers to the proportion of female characteristics in someone.
So, why do some men and women have different levels of sexuality compared to the average man and woman?
Firstly, endocrinological studies have found that circulating sex hormones in the bloodstream determine an individual's physical characteristics such as height and proportion, obesity and thinness, as well as masculinity and femininity. They also have a significant impact on a person's hobbies and emotional characteristics. There are different proportions of male and female hormones in both men and women, which provides a biological basis for the coexistence of the two "sexual levels". According to a study by the School of Medicine at Hopkins University in the United States, if a girl is born into a uterus with abnormal metabolic function and high levels of male hormones, she will exhibit strong masculinity from childhood and adulthood. Boys born in the uterus with excessive levels of male hormones have a stronger 'masculinity'.
Secondly, there is a close relationship between sexuality and living environment. Someone has observed two groups of children: boys who live in a family dominated by their father, or who are often with their father, or who have more boys among siblings, have a stronger "masculinity"; If living in a family where the mother plays a dominant role or is separated from the father. Or if there are more girls among siblings, the 'femininity' is stronger. For girls, the same applies.
Thirdly, the degree of sexuality also varies with age, educational level, and job nature. Experts have conducted surveys on "masculinity" and "femininity" among high school and college students. It was found that there was not much difference in the degree of sexuality. But after entering college, the situation changed: male college students' 'masculinity' significantly increased compared to male high school students, while female college students' 'femininity' significantly decreased, with more people showing a neutral or male tendency. In addition, women engaged in scientific research, sports, and leadership work have a stronger 'masculinity'.
From this, it can be seen that the issue of "sexuality" has both biological and sociological reasons, with the latter being more important. The "masculinity" and "femininity" are mainly not innate, but formed by the influence of historical development and social environment.
