Detailed explanation-1: -Testosterone is required for sperm production, but the level in the testes where sperm are produced is many times higher than in the blood. Even men with low or borderline T levels may have sufficient T levels for sperm production.
Detailed explanation-2: -Testosterone is indispensable for sperm production, however both testosterone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) are needed for optimal testicular development and maximal sperm production.
Detailed explanation-3: -Testosterone is required for processes that are critical for spermatogenesis including maintaining the BTB, supporting the completion of meiosis, the adhesion of elongated spermatids to Sertoli cells and the release of sperm.
Detailed explanation-4: -Testosterone is a hormone that your gonads (sex organs) mainly produce. More specifically, the testicles in people assigned male at birth (AMAB) and the ovaries in people assigned female at birth (AFAB) produce testosterone.
