testosterone production

g.r.o.w.t.h. · Mar 24, 2008

Just wondering if sex drive is a good indication of testosterone production. I am 28 and have cycled on and off for the past few years. I have always kept the dosage reasonable and used PCT. Im now looking to stay natural and am concerned about my natural production. My sex drive is just as good as when i was on. Is this a decent indicator that things are up and running ok? thanks for the help.

Get a simple blood test, it is reasonably cheap and much more indicative of your test production. If you have a good sex drive it is reasonable to say you are producing a good amount, but test is not the only thing in the libido equation.

Best way to tell is get a blood test.
I have a friend that has no problem with he's sex drive but he's test was tested at under 200. So no, sex drive is not 100% indicator.

Yep, a blood test is the best indicator.

It could be.

If your sex drive is fine, and your health, recovery, and muscle maintence are fine then I woudn't worry.

Get a blood test to know your numbers, but unless you are real low or knew what they were before they might be irrelevant to your question i.e. they are 400 and you think that's low, but what if they were 400 before you ever cycled? Get the point? I have seen someone who got his levels checked for curiousity and have become a victim of ego and wanting them to be higher and is now a self-hrt guy. So just by the fact that you are saying that you want to stay natural, maybe you might want to just enjoy life and not worry or even get a test to see if there is nothing wrong.

Thanks for the replies. I guess a blood test is the way to go. Im going to vent here so bear with me. I dont post much but read quite often here and ive been a member a while. I ve done 4 shows in the past few years and love the sport of bodybuilding. I ve made the decision to go natural not because I dont want to compete, but because it has just become to risky. It is no longer worth risking my freedom to compete in a sport which is just a hobby ( I dont have the genetics to make it very far) Any way I am going to go for overall health from here on out. Thank you everyone who took the time to reply i ve learned more on promuscle then everywhere else combined. Thanks.
