Sex Drive

[uptownm]

I'm 40 and have had a great sex drive until recently, but somehow it got messed up 4 months ago. Ugh... I don't take steroids; there may be some DES IGF-1 in the mix... but one day I took Antastrozole a couple days (which fixed my sex drive years ago when I messed it up with juice) and I feel like it maybe shut me down this time. Clomid didn't really help years ago. I tried to take Triptorilin a month ago and it didn't really do too much.

any thoughts on ways to knock it back? HCG? HMG? etc..

thanks!

I would strongly suggest you NOT take an AI without knowing what your levels are. Nothing will kill libido faster than crushing your Estrodial levels when they don't need to be.

Lower Test levels as we age will drive down your libido. TRT may be in your future. But you won't know without a blood test.

I like HCG as a "ball dropper" but it doesn't necessarily drive up my libido. Now...get me on a nice cruise of 200MG of Sustanon, and the tingle down under never goes away.

Get some blood work done and get to a professional. Simple once a week testosterone supplementation may be in order.

Definitely get blood work to see where your natural test levels are.

A quick fix temporarily is 1mg melanotan II or PT-141 with food.
It causes nausea and makes you sleepy until your body gets used to it.
Melanotan II and tadalifil together give me the type of erections I had during puberty, and I feel a lot higher sex drive.
If you don't want to get tan then go with PT-141. It's the sexual component of melanotan II without the tanning component.

Abstract
Melanocortinergic agents are currently being investigated for a possible therapeutic role in male and female sexual dysfunction. These investigations were sparked by findings that systemic administration of a synthetic analog of alpha-MSH, MT-II, causes penile erections in a variety of species, including humans. Several other melanocortinergic agents including HP-228, THIQ, and bremelanotide (PT-141) have since been shown to have erectogenic properties thought to be due to binding to melanocortin receptors in the central nervous system, particularly the hypothalamus. Bremelanotide, a nasally administered synthetic peptide, is the only melanocortinergic agent that has been clinically studied in both males and females. Data from Phase II clinical trials of bremelanotide support the use of melanocortin-based therapy for erectile dysfunction. Studies using animal models have demonstrated that pre-copulatory behaviors in female rats analogous to sexual arousal are evoked, and preliminary clinical data also suggest a role in promoting sexual desire and arousal in women. Based on bremelanotide clinical experience, administration of a melanocortin agonist is well tolerated and not associated the hypotension observed with phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors currently used to treat erectile dysfunction. This review discusses investigations of melanocortin agonists for the treatment of sexual dysfunction with emphasis on proposed sites and mechanisms of action in the central nervous system that appear to be involved in melanocortinergic modulation of sexual function. Current research validates use of melanocortinergic agents for the treatment of both male and female sexual dysfunction.

Get bloodwork brother. Don't take a thing yet. If it's ED issues tadalafil will help but if it's loss of libido you need to at least know where you are at before you self prescribe anything.

Does pt141 come as an oral or injectable?

It's a subcutaneous inject with a Slin pin

Bloodwork like a few thousands mentioned....you don't want us guessing what's wrong withchu

 

[inertia99]

Im going through the same exact thing you are, right now. I went to get my bloods and my T way low across the board.

Get the bloodwork, the love tackle doesn't work the same when you get over 40. You might just have some low test levels that need to be worked on. Good luck bro, most of us have been there and have the "T" shirt, pun intended....lol

What type of doctor should I go to? Any recommendations in Dallas , TX?

Regular doctors may not have the best advice... ones that deal with bodybuilders would probably be best?

thanks

Bloods right away. In the meantime get pt-141. It is a miracle in a bottle!! Best stuff ever created imo.

Anti Aging clinic is the better of them, from what I understand. I was referred to an Endo and dont expect more than 125/wk of test. Im going to a clinic because they are said to prescribe better.

That's some good info. You dudes never cease to amaze me.

x2, the worst people make is kill their libido without realizing much. Keep a good eye on your levels, stay healthy.

Like others said. you really need to get bloodwork. we could all sit here and take a wild guessing game as to what it is and what would help.But bloodwork is the proper way to go to getting this solved

 

[sazo75]

First off get bloodwork and in the mean time after blood work comes back we can help you out and you can always try things like Cialis or Viagra.

 

[uptownm]

What type of doctor is the best one to go to? There may be other issues that I've caused which requirement arimidex or something else creative. In my experience, the typical doctor thinks within the box and may just give testosterone - which may not fix me... I may need to boost my levels from something else out there...

 

[tenny]

test will fix anything....lmaooo



just sayin

 

[jasong]

Everyone above has given great advice but what are you experiencing exactly? Is it just desire or can you not perform? If trt is out of the question for you then maybe try DAA and or tadafil. It helped me some but once bad shit starts happening with a partner stress goes up then you can pretty much count on it continuing for the worse. I had ED at one time and I wish I knew what I knew now because I wasted a lot of time not getting to the heart of the matter (blood work).

 

[uptownm]

Well, my testosterone levels are at 636, free test at 12 - so those are "ok"
DHT is HIGH and Sex Binding Hormine is HIGH.. so those need to come down I think
