That probably depends on how much one has! Here's a very interesting show on testosterone: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radi...spx?sched=1230 (you can listen free on the web - click "full episode" - or download as podcast for a small fee).

In particular, the segment with Griffin Hansbury, a former "radical feminist lesbian," who became a man will be enlightening to any woman out there who wants to learn a little more about what its like to have a bunch of testosterone. I think this should be required listening for every woman!

To give you a little hint about it, there's a part where he's explaining that before testosterone treatments, she (at that point) would be on the subway and see a woman and think, "oh, she's attractive...what's that book she's reading...i'd like to meet her..." a whole narrative would go through her head. After she began taking the testosterone and becoming a male, there was no narritive, no language at all. He'd see a woman with an attractive quality and basically his mind would just be flooded with images of sex! That ladies, is what it's like to be a man!
