Letter to the Editor: Spoilt for Sexual Choice

DDr. Heinrich just wrote a letter to the editor of the Austrian daily newspaper Die Presse on the subject “Spoilt for Sexual Choice” (“Die Qual der Sexualwahl”, Die Presse, March 27, 2013):

Congratulations on your interesting article. It is indeed a fact that there is a clear link between a person’s attractiveness to the opposite sex and the performance levels of certain hormonal glands. This can be seen quite clearly amongst those famous men and women who still can claim to be “sex symbols” despite being somewhat older. Sean Connery or Sharon Stone are good examples. Their faces and bodies clearly show that they have high levels of those hormones which are particularly important for sexual attractiveness. For the main part, these are growth hormones, adrenal cortex hormones and sexual hormones such as testosterone and estrogen.

When older people not only look sexy, but also quite young, this is a sign that all the other important hormonal glands are in a fine, youthful condition. Our perception of attractiveness does not differentiate between the hormonal glands “naturally” being that good, or if hormone levels were raised by way of therapy with bioidentical hormones (Hormonal Regeneration®).

In contrast, when only those artificial methods using Botox, fillers or facelifts, for example, are applied in an attempt to “restore” youthfulness, the person treated just won’t have that sexual charisma which high hormone levels make possible. That is why their “rejuvenated” appearance often looks doll-like and less attractive.
