Libido all but dead - age? gear? life?

[Big A]

Ive had issues with my dick working properly off and on for a while. However, ive never really lost my libido. I truely believe a lot of libido is mental, whether people realize and can see it or not. Some people simply don't realize theyre just getting bored. Im not at all implying that's your problem.

What always does the trick for me is i make sure my girlfriend skips a few days worth of showers. I like her nice and ripe. Gets all those pheromones flowing. Yall think im joking but im not at all. A good way to find out if you really dig your chick is if her body odor turns you on. Or maybe thats not a real thing and I'm just a sick fuck lol.

Pheromones are huge - I've dated perfect 10s that I absolutely had no interest in having sex with and I've seen some ugly chicks that I would tear them apart. It's all in the smell.

Have you considered trying a 25 year old blond instead of the wife? Kidding but sort of I mean its not new to you anymore twice a month isnt horrible

T
Why does "THE NEW" overcome the obstacles???

 

[provimed50]

Have u ever tried 600 Sustanon , 300 Mast. E, 3x 250IU HCG/week and 50mg Proviron ed together with 10mg Tadalafil eod, during this time I had the craziest high libido ever!
But you want a 4th child, right? So be sure u stay fertile!

 

[muaythai123]

apart from the stuff people have mentioned i would also avoid porn, as this can cause some of the dopamine problems people have been talking about.
get bloodwork so you know where you stand with everything
attraction is hard to maintain long term... other people saying get a young blonde are joking, but this will likely find your libido coming back. not recommending this of course.

Wondering if you guys experience this type of shit or if its just me. My libido has been very low for the past few years. As in, we might have sex maybe twice a month on a GOOD month. Generally its once a month. Been running 250 cyp weekly for couple of years as maintenance. Was taking that much (or slightly more) when we got pregnant with our other children.

We have 3 children. 16,13 and 4. I have been hoping for ONE MORE but figure im probably firing blanks. That being said, while we havent had much sex it has always been right around that fertile time since she seems more in the mood then too. But even then it takes me a couple of days before I can even think about doing it again let alone my body responding positively to it.

I recently increased everything to 500mgs test cyp and 50mg A-50eod. I was hoping the extra test and a-50 would have me walking around ready to go all day! Didnt happen.
Planning to add 500/w masteron in january to help me as I cut down so I dont lose too much muscle.

Just wondering, have you/do you experience this same sort of thing? Even now on the higher dosage, which I know isnt HIGH by most people's standards but for me this is alot of gear. Even now I still have basically zero sex drive most of the time. So it looks doubtful that we will ever get pregnant again.

My stats:
46yrs old (wife is turning 44 btw)
262lbs (usually walk around 240 but figured I would shoot for 265 this winter for the hell of it)
15-18%BF
low stress job, i make my own hours and love every second of what I do for a living

Do you eat low carb/keto? Do you use porn? Do you take any medications? Antidepressants/anxiety/psych meds? Do you use any aromatase inhibitors or estrogen blockers?

Usually it's one of the above causing the issue

Have you ever done PCT? What about bloodwork? Like daniel and Sour said, you need to know where estrogen and prolactin are. Just adding more could make your situation worse.

It has been a LONG time since I did any kind of PCT. I cant even recall the last time I took HCG.
I had always kept very low levels of hormones because for what I needed, I simply didnt need to take any more. But, I noticed that I had diminished responses to my body behaviors.
Now, that being said, even when I do take the cialis sometimes I still have nearly NO desire or positive response. Honestly there have been times when I took cialis and still wasnt able to get things going all the way. And that was with the best of curcumstances and plenty of "warm up".

I know I need to get bloodwork done. That will likely tell a more chemically/hormonally relevant tale. I was just hoping this was something simple so I didnt have to feel like such a total fail. Its humiliating.

Diet has always remained about the same. I have a low tolerance for change in general. So I still eat my chicken and rice, because I always have and it still tastes good. I still eat my tuna with raisens. Still have eggs for breakfast. Im boring.
Id say overall my diet hasnt changed much save for the volume in the last 20 years.
Porn, of course. Once in a while. But strictly for educational purposes. LOL. Actually, the wife likes it too so its good.
I have not taken any AI or estro-blockers. And no anxiety meds.
No other meds other than typical advil or tylenol.

Im going to do the bloodwork. Like I said above, I was hoping this was something more common, or at least more simple to rectify. Its embarrassing enough as it is putting it on an anonymous message board.

have you tried lower TRT dose testosterone? Many men have better libido on the lower end.


Prolactin/DHT/Thyroid hormones Free T4/Free T3/Vitamin D, test/estradiol for starters.

Can you identify any lifestyle/dosage changes when you noticed libido drop or it came out of nowhere?

Man, the "simplest" things are estrogens and prolactin issues. But if you don't do bloods, you'll never know. Going by symptoms is the hardest way to get in that "sweet spot".
Do you feel bloated, retain water? Do you feel overly emotional? Depressed? Any nipples sensitivity/puffiness?
Do you get morning erections?

So, I have noticed since raising up my test level to 500/wk, that I am much more .... motivated. Yes, morning wood EVERY DAY. No sensitivity or puffiness in the nipples. I am thinking that much of it was mental and stress related along with just being too low with test in general.
I am still stressed. But work has gotten pretty busy for me and my pipeline has grown so at least I know that at some point in the future, I will be making very good money. So that has really helped me relax. I am an independant contractor so there is no guarantee in my pay. Some months I make nothing at all. Some months I could make 10's of thousands. (although that hasnt actually happened YET. But I am trying, lol)

with the increase to 500 it seems to have gone up noticeably.
Lifestyle, yeah for sure. See above post. I think maybe the stress of my business and life in general must have played a bigger part than I was giving it credit for.

 

[silverback1984]

I don't think its estrogen, you will still "Desire" given a wide range.
IMO its your DOPAMINE level given the exposure to long term Androgen/Estro exposure.
Your body is burn out and depleted... The higher the exposure, the more resistant you will be.
Lower you dosage to something manageable and nurture your Dopamine levels naturally or synthetically. Either way takes time but you will
cultivate it back.
neurotransmitter depletion is real like adrenal depletion is especially after a long time.
Remember, it takes very little T to get and erection.Now, libido is a different topic.

This is IMO

So it's long term on higher doses causes raise in dopamine? So there fore a long period of lower dosage needed. Can you check your dopamine levels on a blood test ? Or what is it shown as

 

[b_cornelius]

People do not really suffer all that much from adrenal depletion or dopamine depletion if you are implying the depletion of dopamine itself. These are easy to synthisize, and it's not like you are burnt out on meth. Serotonin is somewhat harder for your body to synthesize, sometimes leading to depletion after the abuse of recreational drugs.

Steroids increase protein synthesis. One of these proteins is the dopamine receptor. Steroids increase dopamine receptor density and facilitate the workings of the dopaminergic system.

The difference. On/Off. More-or-less.

Lol, that is a whole nother thread, or did we already have that one?

Whatever pheromone they add to Testim is legit, lol. Chicks really notice it.

I started doing a stretch of MII because I'm so freakin white. During the 2 week loading phase all I wanted was sex. It's used as a treatment for ED. PT-141 is a derivative of MII also. They both get you hard constantly buy make you horny in the brain too.

Yeah but it's weird. It's not like a horny feeling from mast or test...it's a stranger feeling for sure

Reminds me of being a horny teenager.

For sure dude. It's got that desperation lol

If test/mast makes you feel like a man, then M2 makes you feel like a teenager

perfect analogy miyagi lol

By any chance have u ever used finasteride?

 

[bad rad]

Do you take DHEA? I stopped taking it recently and my libido tanked. Thought it was E2 suppression from too much Arimidex but realized today losing it coincided with stopping DHEA. Added it back today and am already feeling better.
