I'm curious about whether the common description of male puberty (as a period of excessive arousal and disproportionate libido relative to adulthood) is a functional hyperbole, or if people actually did experience a time of additional libido followed by a levelling off.
I experienced puberty as a transition from having no interest in sex to having a seemingly pretty reasonable level of interest, and that level has remained quite stable well into adulthood. It seems reasonable to me that polite western people would have an incentive to distance themselves from their own juvenile behaviors while aknowledging some of the issues that may arise, so this puberty-as-satyriasis story becomes a symbolized cultural mythology. However it is also plausible that I am wrong.
What do yall think?
