In addition to producing gametes, the female ovaries and male testes also secrete hormones. These hormones are called sex hormones. The secretion of sex hormones by the gonads is controlled by pituitary gland hormones such as FSH and LH. While both sexes make some of each of the hormones, typically male testes secrete primarily androgen's including testosterone.
Later in life Men have a decrease in testosterone and may need supplements or a combination of eating right and going to the gym regularly. I find that for me running three miles a week and eating healthy gives me more of a sex drive. I recommend not taking steroidal hormones that aren't FDA approved because long term effects are not known.
