Is teenage hormones really a thing? Because I keep seeing these mc which is mentally grown but got thrusted into an adolescent body of some fanfic character.

And one thing I noticed is the fact that this teenage hormones thingy and it always gotta be sexual...first it's just staring at the maid ass next thing I know he's resisting just..a bit and then not even a few sentence later he's latching onto her breast??

Is this the most likely scenario for most people if reincarnation or transmigration is real? To succumb to teenage hormones?

(Excuse me if I sound autistic)

A - Its smut, so expect some exaggerations.
B - I was a lot hornier when I was a teenager than I am at 43, so there might be some truth to being hormonal. But, like back then, I am pretty sure an adult can handle it just fine. It is all just written as an excuse to put smut into smut stories. Example, one of my MCs is 83 and had ED for a decade before being reincarnated. Well he is still old but his problem is fixed, so he is horny as heck. I generally have him resisting the impulses, but yeah, the temptation is there.

I mean the story I'm reading isn't smut except mature and harem so I definitely wasn't expecting...some quickie scene?.

Well I'll be dammed I thought teenage hormones was a myth so I guess it's very real never experienced it in my teenage years so I thought it's fake.

I mean your story kinda make sense it's like giving an eunch a pp after a few decades so I can see why he's horny nice to see he's resisting it at least.

Yeah I have seen a few mislabeled like that. Does it have sexual content added? should be in a different box then the tags. SH gives a lot of different ways to tag works, so it could be there.

You know what, that got me thinking... if you're a grown adult that transmigrated into a teen's body, having those raging teenage hormones isn't strange. However, you're still mentally old. Shouldn't you be attracted to other grown adults and not the super young-looking "hot" girls?

Ah so there's that I didn't really check that one only the genre and what's underneath it.

I mean if you're a grown adult (mentally) it shouldn't be that hard to control yourself but instead they tend to succumb to it willingly.

It kinda reminds me to rudeus a bit...

I will counter that with when I was 18, i was 'dating' 30-40 year olds, and now that im in my 40s, I have no issues with 50 year olds or back down to 18-20...they all have their charms...

Puberty is a thing, so yeah, "teenage hormones" are a thing as well. And the whole "reborn with the fully functioning mind of an X-years-old" thing is kinda unrealistic if you think about it; The adult brain is what size? And how big is a baby? So, unless your reincarnator looks like Megamind, there's no way the newborn brain could compute all the stuff happening, and would realistically use the limited brain space for life support instead of "previous life memory data that might or might not be helpful, but takes away way too much space to keep newborn.exe running".

Oh... lots to unpack there. I definitely question the 30-40 year olds that approached you when you were 18. I'm in my early 20's, and I see anyone below 20 as a baby, dating them is out of the question for me. To each their own, I guess...

I was a young soldier at the bar, the original pick up culture. It wasn't that uncommon of a thing back then, especially since not everyone had a damn camera to cancel you on social media for doing stupid shit while drunk.

As for now, I dont go looking for the 18 year olds, though I have a friend that is 23 who has some interest in me, particularly since im divorced now. However I am quite content to remain single now, no need for another woman to abuse me then take over half my shit again now that I finally recovered.

I see, I see. I still think it would be funny (and kind of wholesome) if an isekai MC who originally was an old guy got transmigrated into a young man's body only hits on grannies in the new world. GILF chaser, if you will.

There was a Webtoon I saw where a 50-year-old woman got transmigrated into a 20-year-old noble daughter's body. The original girl got her engagement canceled by her ex-fiance. The isekai'd MC woke up and started hitting on her ex's grandfather. Loved that series.

Time to put my psychology major to good use.

Short answer... no?


Fiction like this really isn't clear about hormones and psychological development. What's more important than the teenage hormones is going to be the development of the the brain and how psychodynamics function.

Usually characters seem to be able to reason and think at the same level of their aged counterpart. Which implies that brain development and psychological functions will be equivalent to an adult.

This means that most people should have developed mental function in order to not be influenced by hormones. Heightened emotions would be expected along with mood swings, but none of it severe enough to be apparent (well not exactly... but I don't wanna explain Freudian psychology).

There are people who won't have the mental development to handle hormonal imbalance and behave as according to their developed thoughts... but that's not what we see in the fictions.

Based on the exhibited mental capacity, the teenage hormones wouldn't have an effect as shown. (Even if they didn't have the mental development the hormonal imbalance doesn't warrant the level of perversion)

That's a bit interesting so basically it's for views at the end of the day huh wonder when I will see a realistic one where mc doesn't succumb to this supposed teenage hormones.

Freudian psychology sounds interesting tho hopefully it doesn't jumble people brain like how Nietzsche often does with his works..
the tend to have larger breasts, and I was a breast guy in my teens and twenties. =)
Never understood the appeal of Breast really but then again I have always been quite odd and averse to sexual desire.

But then again as far as I'm aware big breast is one of the most attractive thing to ever exist to any men who doesn't have certain issues...

So fair point.

It's not great, mostly anecdotal evidence for... odd theories. Psychodynamics (which I was referring to) is pretty good though.

But there was also (this is not something considered valid. DO NOT TAKE IT AS SUCH) Freud's psychosexual development theory.

Of which consists five stages of (personality) development as a child ages through puberty.
These stages all are meant to reflect stages of (layman's term) conflict. They all are associated with specific erogenous zones and depending on resolution of conflict impacts their personality (especially while under stress)


Age 0-2
Oral
Associated with breast/bottlefeeding.
If they struggle to wean, it leads to excessive drinking and yelling.

Age 2-3
Anal
Toilet training.
If they don't learn to use a toilet.
Leads to inability to behave appropriately, where they do inappropriate acts in public. That or they are neat and tidy to a fault.

Age 3-6
Phallic (Oedipal complex/Electra complex)
Complicated one to simplify, but the most entertaining. This refers to a stage where children identify as the parent with the same gender as them to learn behavioural patterns fitting such.
Which leads into Oedipal complex where the male child (Electra for the female version, though that wasn't originally from Freud, but I digress) falls in love with their mother due to copying their father. Yet they eventually figure that they don't stand a chance in wooing their mother because of the father being so (not physically, but I don't know how else to say it) powerful.
Leads to an inability to act with people in society that are in positions of power. Like being rude to bosses or government officials. Also can result in them feeling powerless.

Age 6-11
Latency
Not actually sexual! (In other words, he couldn't make up another sexual parallel) refers to behaviour with peers of the same gender.
If they don't have friends of the same gender or fail to express their gendered behaviour it leads to bigotry and forming bonds and connections with other bigots due to their fear of rejection. Also attitude issues and or over sharing with boundary issues.

Age 11-beyond
Genital
Establishment of relationships with those of other genders.
Failing here leads to inability to form loving relationships, loneliness, and isolation due to failed intimate relationships (caused due to selfishness)



Again. These are not, and should never be, taken as accurate. Freud was very, very wrong here... but having a theory all about sex is fun?
You wanted interesting Freud (mind you, in the simplest form I could write it. It's deeper than just this... but still wrong.)

I take it back ? idk why but that's like disturbing it's like being judged like an animal?...which I think most people don't take kindly into...
