Sonke siyawazi amahemuhemu ngamadoda nezinyawo ezinkulu. Kepha kuthiwani uma sikutshela ukuthi iqiniso belisezandleni zakhe? Amadoda aneminwe eyindandatho ende ukwedlula umunwe wenkomba yawo esandleni sokudla (yebo, sisho lokho okuningiliziwe) anamasende amakhulu, ngokusho kocwaningo loMnyango Wezokwelapha e-Gachon University Gil Hospital eSouth Korea.

Odokotela bathatha izilinganiso zeminwe kusukela kwabesilisa abangu-172 abaneminyaka engu-20 kuya ku-69. Futhi nakuba ukuhlobana phakathi kwamasende nobude beminwe kungase kubonakale kungahleliwe, akunjalo. Ucwaningo lwenziwa ngenxa yokuzingela ukuthi inkomba yokukala isilinganiso somunwe ihlotshaniswa nesistimu yokuzala yowesilisa. Ucwaningo lwangaphambilini lwezakhi zofuzo ze-Hox ezilawula ukukhula kweminwe kanye nokukhula kwezitho zangasese emibungu, futhi lusebenze njengemephu yokuthi umzimba uzobukeka kanjani uma usuwakheke ngokugcwele-luphakamisa ukuxhumana.

Kodwa ingabe leli qhinga liyasebenza ngempela? "Izinga eliphakeme le-testosterone ngesikhathi sokukhula kombungu likhombisile ukuthi linokuhlobana nosayizi womunwe wendandatho womuntu uma kuqhathaniswa nomunwe wakhe oyinkomba," kusho u-Emily Morse, isazi sezocansi, kanye nomphathi Ucansi No-Emily i-podcast. "Angiphakamisi noma ubani ukuba alahle noma yibaphi abangaba umngane womshado ngokusekelwe ekubhaleni kwabo ngesandla, kodwa ngingasho ukuthi i-testosterone kanye nesilinganiso phakathi komunwe wokukhomba nomunwe wendandatho ingaba nedatha engase ibe usizo."

Kodwa ingabe usayizi wamasende unendaba? Ucwaningo oluhlukene luveza ukuthi ubukhulu besende lendoda buhambisana nomthamo wesidoda akwazi ukusikhipha. (Lokho kusho ukwanda kwenzalo.) Kepha masibe ngokoqobo, akekho ogqashula umbusi ngosayizi wokuqala wosuku namasende akuyona imininingwane yezocansi ecindezela kakhulu ofuna ukuyazi mayelana nentshisekelo yothando engaba khona. Sekushiwo lokho, ufuna ukwazi ukuthi unqwabelanisa kanjani uma kuqhathaniswa nabanye abafana uma kukhulunywa ngosayizi wepipi, izithombe zocansi, abalingani bangaphambili, ukuvikela (nokuningi!) ngaphandle kokusobala-ahem? Sikuhlanganisele imininingwane lapha.
