Thread 'Truth About Testosterone and Your Libido'

The Truth About Testosterone and Your Libido

Testosterone might not do as much for your libido as people think it does. Here's what this hormone does and doesn't do for your sex drive.

www.yahoo.com

As an expert on andrology and sexual dysfunctions, urologist Andrew Y. Sun, M.D., sees plenty of patients who’re struggling with low libido. And most are pretty sure they already know why: They must have low testosterone levels. Even if it turns out they don’t, “most of them still strongly believe that increasing their testosterone levels will improve their libido,” says Sun, who practices at Urology Partners of North Texas.

I would have to think there's not very many men who are on TRT and still have a low libido.

 

Pseudo scientific nonsense.

Libido is controlled by the brain and lack of it indicates a problem in the brain, probably neurotransmitters. No wonder, libido is often restored to even hypersexuality with dopamine agonists. Everything else is secondary to dopamine.

Contemporary impotent medicine has almost zero understanding of the problem. Instead, we are served the usual fluff that it's all in your head and you should drink more water, sleep longer, and go to a psychotherapy LOL

 

Here is an example that actually addresses the problem in a scientific way instead of spewing generalities:

Amantadine in Treatment of Dysthymia—The Pilot Case Series Study

Dysthymia is a common chronic mood disorder in which isolated symptoms of depression persist for at least 2 years. Despite the many medications recommended for the treatment of dysthymia, no recommendations have yet been made for the treatment of patients who fail to achieve clinical...

One of the components of "dysthymia" is lowered libido and Amantadine helped with that because it is acting on the dopamine system.

Interesting drug
I believe that T3 can make a significant difference too

 

Also exercising improves libido.

I am at the point where I am going to experiment with Nandrolone base

I really don't think that Nandrolone would help someone's libido.

What could fix PFS? I'm having almost zero libido for years now.

Maybe check out the videos about PFS on YouTube: TRT Channel, Cortex labs.
TRT should help with relatively high T and DHT levels using e.g. T cream. It seems to take some time until there is an improvement.

Thank you, madman does have a lot of threads on the subject.

Thread 'The Loss of Estradiol by Androgen Deprivation in Prostate Cancer Patients Shows the Importance of Estrogens in Males'

Dec 9, 2024

The role of estradiol (E2; an estrogen) in men needs to be more appreciated. In this review, we address the clinical situations that allow the study of the clinical consequences of E2 deficiency in men and discuss the effects of restoration of levels of this reproductive steroid hormone. In men with advanced prostate cancer (PCa) undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), E2 is suppressed along with testosterone, leading to side effects affecting the quality of life. These include hot flashes, arthralgia, fatigue, mood changes, cognition problems, weight gain, bone loss, and increased...

There have been countless posts on this forum from men on TRT who still lack libido including myself. TRT is only part of the libido puzzle (see Madman's diagram)

Most men who post on Male have issues. On average I don't believe most men on TRT don't have libido issues.

This site is here to help men like you.

It's always comical on this forum when they claim that TRT solves all sexual problems. In reality, TRT resolves problems only when they were due to really low T before TRT, but many people get on TRT to "enhance" themselves, not because they actually had low T.

Testosterone is a weak manipulator of dopamine/libido. For example, TRT boosts libido typically during the initial honeymoon period but then the negative feedback kicks in, dopamine receptors downregulate, and libido goes back to zero.

If you want to enhance libido, it's more sensible to look into direct dopaminergic drugs, like the Amantadine study that I cited. Testosterone is a secondary drug and quite ineffective at manipulating dopamine, unless it was really low before TRT, causing low dopamine, in which case restoring the normal testosterone levels restores dopamine and libido.

There is a thread Estradiol valerate experiment. I find it promising.

I recall reading many of your posts. Are there any specific dopaminergic drugs that you had libido success with?

 

Guarana helps a little with dopamine (enjoyment and interest in life, libido, easier to get to orgasm) and it's not due to its caffeine component because pure caffeine doesn't do that.

I'm getting an Amantadine prescription soon. Pramipexole is another option that has been mentioned in the forum.
