I, and I assume most guys (and gals) in their puberty were horny most of the time, but my being a night owl I don't think factored into that at all. I studied much better at night, I was a lot more creative (music mostly) at night, and everything was more peaceful at night. I was horny too, I guess, but that was more of a 24/7 thing.


Same here. I don't think it's a stretch to say that increased teen sexual energy, inextricably bound to increased general energy, was a big part of that, whether sexually active or not. In fact sublimated sexual desire/energy can be extremely helpful in creative endeavors. It's the essence of creativity, the creation of a new human life is pretty hard to top power-wise.

I'm still a night owl, wired for very late.
