Do men have better ability to eat spicy food?

Want to know how good a man's sexual ability is? Just look at how spicy he can eat. On December 17, the University of Grenoble in France conducted a study on 114 men aged 18-44 and found that the spicier the food, the more testosterone a man secretes.

Researcher Laurent Begue said that testosterone is an important reason why men are competitive, adventurous, and eager to become strong and brave men. In terms of diet, men with high testosterone secretion dare to try new flavors. "Perhaps, eating spicy food in daily life can promote testosterone secretion. But so far, this conjecture has only been verified in mice." Laurent.Begue said.

In the real-life experiment, the situation was somewhat different. The men participating in the experiment were invited to the laboratory and told to add chili powder to the food according to their own taste. The researchers obtained the saliva of the subjects to detect the testosterone content. The results showed that the correlation between liking spicy food and testosterone content was only 0.29 (0 means no correlation, 1 means very correlated). This study can only show that some men with strong sexual ability like spicy food. There is no necessary connection between the amount of hormone secretion and whether or not you like spicy food.

The researchers also said that some experiments have shown that men with strong sexual ability prefer "bright" colors, such as red, while those men who are more masculine have average sperm quality.
