Men have significant estrogen:

Men: roughly 10–40 pg/mL Women (not at ovulation): roughly 30–40 pg/mL

At Ovulation, women spike. Hence, libido changes. If you know, you know.

Think you. I didn't know there was such overlap in the levels between both genders. Do men's levels also take a hit with age?
Those numbers are bullshit. The bottom of a grown woman’s cycle is around 100 pg/ml. I have no idea where they’re getting those numbers but I assure you they’re wrong, and even if they were remotely correct about E levels being close to one another at some point in the cycle the majority of the time they’re much farther apart.
