Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Testosterone, which is produced in the testicles, plays a role in regulating sexual interest and activity in males. Removal of the testicles will result in decreased levels of testosterone, which may lead to decreased interest in sexual activity. However, this is not always the case, as some men may still have a normal level of sexual interest and activity even after testicular removal. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not align with the research. Option D is also incorrect as there is evidence to suggest that testicular removal can impact sexual interest and activity levels.
