Flexibility Hormones

[onyomi]

Does anyone know specificaly what hormones affect flexibility? People generally say that male hormones reduce it and female hormones increase it, but I can never find any more detailed info. Is it that test and other male hormones reduce flexibility, or do female hormones actually work to increase it? If test was responsible, it would seem like steroids would decrease flexibility, but I've never heard of such a side effect. Is there any way for a man to tilt his hormonal balance in favor of increased flexibility without losing a lot of muscle or developing breasts?

you listen to the wrong people, and there is no correlation to sex hormones and flexibility.

youre not a victim of your sexuality, its up to you to become more flexible.

I do a lot of work on my own flexibility and I am very flexible for a man, but no one can deny that it is much easier for women to develop a high degree of flexibility than men. I just wanted to know why.
