libido

Hello everyone, Desperate for some help. I’m 23 years old. I’ve been bodybuilding for 8 years, and started competing at 21. I was prepping to compete at nationals this summer before everything went wrong. I was on a test only cycle around June and started to get some gyno symptoms. All I...

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well and is excited for the holidays coming up. After years of experimenting, pain, insomnia and more I believe I have finally found a protocol that works for me! Solvent free propionate 12mg before bed with 5mg topical dhea in the morning Funkodyssey...

I have always struggled with libido and generally feeling good on TRT. I am a relatively low aromitiser and have single digit SHBG. I have tried just about every protocol under the sun over the last 10 years. Over the last year I have been experimenting with lower doses (60-90 mg per week)...

Hi guys.. My pt141 arrived today with instructions to keep it refrigerated. I never tried it before in my life. Dosage of injection is 20 units. I assume 20 units is whats marked as '20' on the syringe, correct? If thats the case, is that considered too much for a 1st time user?

Hi guys.. I suffer from ED and low libido. I'm somewhat low in testosterone and was given clomid 2 years ago which helped improve my low libido. But it caused hair loss which I'm not happy about. I have 2 questions: 1. Is there a way to increase testosterone without causing hair loss? 2. If...

Hey there, to get right to it I took 20mg before an outing with a girl last weekend as some insurance. Oddly enough before taking the Cialis libido felt strong, and erections were normal, but about an hour after taking it I noticed my libido start to fade. This is resulted in inability to come...

I’m curious if using this maybe once or twice a week for a libido boost will shut down natural production?

So, long time since I blast a cruiser here; I'm pretty moderate in my use and never go above 600mg total in gear. 2023, I cruised on 150mg test/150mg mast all year. I got a divorce, and I decided to go cold turkey off everything in January. I noticed ED and libido after three weeks of being off...

Say what you like, but I want higher DHT! Deeper voice, manly chest hair, higher libido, and fortunately I am not prone to male-pattern baldness. What testosterone formulations help increase DHT? Is scrotal cream/gel/patch the only way? What else can help increase DHT? And perhaps more...

I've been on TRT for roughly 3.5 years now, with very limited results. I started and kept using Test E most of this time. In the honeymoon phase I had great symptom relief, however after 3 months almost all of those symptoms returned, I only felt better emotionally and mentally. Honestly I was...

TLDR: I fucked up my hormones because I didn't listen to everyone on the site, and now I'm paying the price. Stay away from hormone treatments if not medically necessary. Hi Everyone, I'm here to post a follow up to two posts I made a couple of years back as a cautionary tale to others who...

If anyone has been following the other threads regarding DHT cream and Test Prop, you will know the discussion of libido has been mentioned. I recently ordered some test prop and have been using it the past few days. I have also dialed in my DHT cream home brew to a very nice end product. I do...

Started test 6 weeks ago. I feel great. Good sleep, good training, feeling good and so on. Was at 140 mg test and 500 iu hcg every week (EOD shots). I started to feel some pain in the chest and did a fast blood test to only check test and estradiol. Came back at 48nmol/l and 0.17 nmol/l (Do I...

So who here takes HCG with their TRT protocol for libido improvement and what is your weekly dose:)?

TRT help In short: Today is my second day on testosterone gel (50 mg). I know gel isn’t the best option. I don’t feel any difference mood-wise or libido-wise yet. I know some people say it can take 3 weeks or more to notice the effects of testosterone. The problem is, there’s a detail from a...

Tried multiple protocols and high libido only lasts a couple of weeks. Tried Nebido, gel and test e. Nebido and gel did not work well in regards to all symptoms and doctors will not prescibe test e, so I did it myself. Started 125mg test e EW 9 weeks ago. Felt normal by day 3 and libido was...

In the Anabolic Doc’s Video (minute 1:50) he says that a Free Testosterone target of 155 pg/ml is optimum for Libido (“Trough value” – Ie Just before your next testosterone shot). FT - 155 pg/mL = FT - 16 ng/dl. Using the tru-t.org Free Testosterone Calculator and my last test SHBG and Albumin...

Hey everyone, I'm gonna need a long preamble here to fully explain my situation and make an earnest, last-ditch request for help. TLDR at the bottom. I've taken SSRIs (literally every one that exists at months-long minimum for the one I took least--I'm talking Paxil, zoloft, prozac, celexa...

I have battled with libido for years and it has been suggested that my E2 is too low and I am probably running my test too high. Despite only running 140mg my Free test was sky high, very high androgen index and low SHBG. So in order to attempt a more favorable test/androgen to E2 Ratio I...

Hi all, I am hoping for some guidance around libido and addressing low SHBG. I have struggled for years on TRT in terms of Libido - I have zero. I wake up with morning wood most days but when it comes to sex I get ED a lot because I’m never actually horny. I have really poor sensitivity as...

Hi im looking for advice on getting libido back. So I’ve been on trt for about 7 years. Up until about 4 months I’d been doing it myself and then I decided to go to a clinic hoping for better results. So they wanted me to stay off the shot for about 2-3 weeks so that my level would come back...

30 YO. 5’11” 150 lbs. workout 4x/week. Married with 2 kids. Experiencing a disappointingly low libido. I’ve been using Gene’s NO stack (Citrulline, Tadalafil) daily for the last few years to combat this successfully for the most part, but recently libido has been declining to a disappointing...

I have post-finasteride sexual issues. I put them in 3 categories: 1. ED, 2. loss of libido, and 3. loss of sensitivity/increased refractory period/anorgasmia. The ED resolved on its own with time but the other 2 issues persisted. My doc suggested Stanozolol 2% Cream applied to the scrotum...

Hi everyone, Curious to get some input as to what may be going on here. 28 male prior to TRT mostly very low energy and libido. Was at 270 total and 41 free test. Estrogen was fine. Started at 100 mg weekly spread across two doses. In weeks 4-5 I noticed a decent improvement in libido. I...

Hello. So my doctor gave me tamoxifen for low t and I only took 5 pills (20mg) eod. Didn’t help with the symptoms only gave me severe loss of libido, ed and anhedonia. Then we changed to sustanon 250mg every 10 days. My doctor said symptoms of tamoxifen will go away in “couple of weeks” And I...

Hi, my name is Juan 35yo (M). I don't know if anybody can relate to me and my problem but everything started around 8 months ago when suddently, after three years on testosterone replacement, I lost my libido. It did never happened for three years till it happened. So for 8 months I've been...

I just finished reading the book The Salt Fix, and it addresses many topics which have come up in various threads here so I am posting some highlights, along with a few other items not covered in the book. The book has been out about ten years and I have heard many podcasts with the author, but...

I started a previous thread to unravel the mystery of why hCG improves libido in some men, which generated some good discussion but didn't reach any firm conclusions: https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/libido-hcg-vs-higher-t-e2.25785/ Now comes a youtube video from Cortex Labs that claims...

I have post-finasteride sexual issues. I put them in 3 categories: ED, loss of libido, and loss of sensitivity/increased refractory period/anorgasmia. The ED resolved on its own with time but the other 2 issues persisted. I started Addyi and it's working very well for libido. I'd highly...
