Because I felt this was important enough to warrant its own post....
Over the millennia (okay, perhaps not so long, but it sure feels like it sometimes) I've learned to draw on the hormonal energy of testosterone and use it for creative ends (such as musing about this very thing), because left unmanaged, it can cause me all kinds of trouble. You'd (or at leat I'd) think testosterone would be spiky and abrasive like adrenaline, but it's not, it's soft and fuzzy and cuddly. It's filled with its own energy, but it's not the direct, powerful adrenaline-sort; it's softer, more diffuse, more of an undirected energy that's merely present, expressing itself in original thoughts and ideas, in Creative Energy, if you will. It's the force that makes the lines that come out of my pencil shape themselves into a picture, and the intelligence that brings the right words to bear when I'm writing. But above all else, I think it feels warm and gentle.
Random musing there, I know, but it does beg a question... What does testosterone (or estrogen, if it's more applicable) feel like to you? I imagine it's different for everyone....
