In women of reproductive age, the LHCGR triggers ovulation in men, it triggers testosterone production. On chromosome 2 in the DNA of all human beings, there’s a gene called the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR). We’ve all carried the same hereditary genetic mutation. It was the same for my father, and for his father, and for his father, and for the men in my family going back as far as we have records.
There was no prelapsarian age of innocence for me I was born, I took a huge bite of the apple, and, by 2 years old, I was pretty much ready to get busy with Eve. I have no recollection of a time before puberty, before the carnal cravings, the impulses, the angst and anger and violence. I couldn’t talk, I could barely walk, but I started growing a bush.
I got my first pubic hair when I was 2 years old.
