Questions Answered on Hormones

You try not to be too stressed on your way to the office. You're not sure what infirmin or fortisone are supposed to be, but you're sure that Dr. Benson will have the answer. You get to the office, which looks the same, you check in and get your vitals taken by a nurse. You wait while admiring the fact that despite all the changes to the world around you, it's still a boring eggshell white on the wall and a drone of ticking on the wall. After about twenty minutes, Dr. Benson enters the room, looking mostly as you'd remembered him, but a little more toned and less frail.

"Parker! How have you been? I can't believe you missed your blood work. You're usually punctual about that, but I'm glad we're able to run a panel on you today. The lab even said they can rush the work if you needed to know sooner for any paperwork or concerns you might have that you might be late on addressing." Dr. Benson remarked, sitting down in his office chair after having a quick look at your eyes and up your nose with his medical instruments. "Anything I can help you with?" He asked, opening the door for you to ask any questions you had.

You shudder a bit and brush your shoulder, "Well, I guess..." you pause, not sure how to not come off like an idiot, "What's infirmin and fortisone?"

Dr. Benson scratches his head, "Fall asleep during your high school health class?" He chuckled before realizing you were serious. "Oh, pardon me, I wasn't trying to make you feel stupid Parker. You're a good client, let me know if you're having memory issues, I want to help make sure your mind is in tip top shape. But anyways, infirmin and fortisone are hormones that determine how generally dominant or submissive we are. They react based on your environment, but they're also tied to your DNA. The infirmin levels in your bloodstream will contribute to the softness of your skin like estrogen and also how your general demeanor is around others and fortisone is tied to acts of leadership and decision making as well as contributing to sex drive and muscle mass a lot like testosterone does. Also, the balance between those two hormones during puberty will contribute to things like the size of your penis."

You went your whole life without discussing the size of your manhood with any doctors. You'd never been concerned about the topic before, but if this was all true, then perhaps size is important, you thought. The lab techs come in and draw several vials of blood and let you know that it should only take 20 minutes. You sit nervously, waiting for the results.
