11对夫妇，年龄在21-31岁之间，结婚至少1年，从内分泌和性行为的角度，在三个月经周期期间进行了深入研究。每名受试者都接受了单独采访，每周抽取两次血样。访谈由两名精神科医生独立评定性启动程度、反应性、回避、夫妻互动和情绪。妻子们也对自己的性满足程度（反应能力）进行了评价。丈夫和妻子的血浆睾酮和皮质醇水平，而孕酮和雌二醇水平测定另外的妻子。11对夫妇中有10对的丈夫的起始分数与他们的妻子的反应性（临床评分）分数显著相关; 11对夫妇中有8对的妻子的起始分数与他们的丈夫的反应性分数显著相关。当任何一组相关系数被视为新变量并与丈夫的平均睾酮水平相互关联时，就会获得显着的关系。性交频率与夫妻双方的平均睾丸激素水平无关，但与妻子排卵高峰时的睾丸激素水平有关。妻子们的自我满意度得分与她们自己的血浆睾酮水平显著相关。对三个周期中每个妻子的血浆睾酮水平的检查表明，出现了二分法，一些妇女显示出高基线水平，另一些妇女显示出低基线水平。在此基础上对妻子进行二分时，发现高基线睾酮水平与高自评满意度评分和形成良好人际关系的能力显著相关。
Eleven couples, ages 21–31 years and married for at least 1 year, were studied intensively over a three menstrual cycle period from both an endocrine and a sexual behavior standpoint. Each subject was interviewed individually and had a blood sample drawn twice weekly. Interviews were rated independently by two psychiatrists for degree of sexual initiation, responsivity, avoidance, couple interaction, and mood. Wives rated themselves also for degree of sexual gratification (responsivity). Plasma levels of testosterone and cortisol were determined for both husbands and wives while progesterone and estradiol levels were determined additionally for wives. Husbands' initiation scores were significantly correlated with their wives responsivity (clinically rated) scores for 10 of the 11 couples; wives' initiation scores were significantly related to their husbands' responsivity scores for 8 of the 11 couples. When either set of correlation coefficients was treated as a new variable and intercorrelated with the husbands' average testosterone levels, a significant relationship was obtained. Intercourse frequency, while not related to either partner's average testosterone levels, was related to wives' testosterone levels at their ovulatory peaks. The wives' self-rated gratification scores correlated significantly with their own plasma testosterone levels. Inspection of each wife's plasma testosterone profile across the three cycles indicated that a dichotomy occurred, with some women showing a high baseline level and others showing a low baseline level. When wives were dichotomized on this basis, it was found that high baseline testosterone level was significantly related to high self-rated gratification score and to ability to form good interpersonal relationships.
