Any studies that show that HCG improves libido ? How do I get a HCG prescription?

The only thing that was demonstrated in that paper is that HCG was better than placebo in improving erection in impotent men.

Impotent men have libido suppressed by logical thinking - "if I can't have erection, I can't have satisfying sex, so why bother thinking of sex". Naturally, when HCG improved erection, they started having more sex, which was wrongly interpreted as HCG having an effect on libido.

That doesn't mean that HCG will boost libido in someone that is not impotent. The paper clearly states that the scores for "desire for sexual activity" ( = libido) was not included in the report because "the observations were not reliable" and "a great number of patients did not understand the meaning of it" and "the majority of patients confused desire for sexual activity with spontaneous erection".

That confusion is very common and the title of the study is misleading. Increase of sexual activity after removing an impotence blockade should not be interpreted as HCG having an effect on sexual desire.

Candlewax, since you want to improve both energy levels and libido, I would suggest 1 teaspoon of Guarana powder - you can take it plain with water or make a tea.

It is a mild stimulant but seems to contain more actives (yet unstudied) in it than just plain caffeine. You may feel a mood brightening effect and you might find that it increases your interest in sex.

More sexual attempts= more libido. No better endpoint.

Giving Viagra to someone with erectile problems, if it works, will increase the number of sexual attempts due to improved ability to have sex. That doesn't mean Viagra is a cure for low libido.

Libido boosters should be tried on people with normal ability to have sex i.e. no problems with erection, ejaculation, or orgasm, but no desire to have sex (not feeling "horny"). Only then, one would know if the drug really affects libido.

The article showed only that HCG improved erection in people with erectile problems which led to improved sexual ability hence more sexual attempts. They say in the article that the patients did not make difference between "having a spontaneous erection and libido" which confirms that this was not a libido study for someone that doesn't have erection problems.

If you can get your hands on the peptide Kisspeptin 10, that sure may help.
