[QUOTE="Gene Devine, post: 10373, member: 4"] Joe - Tell us more about yourself like age, general health, lifestyle, stressors...things like that. Good comments on here thus far; and I am one for the "over thinking" it as well. Over thinking "it" will crush libido. Labs: Take a look at Prolactin and DHT. Even mid to elevated Prolactin will crush libido in some men. I found taking .25 mg of Cabergoline (suppresses Prolactin) twice a week on injection days had a huge impact on my libido...crazy in fact. Caber does two things for men; it lowers Prolactin which rises just after orgasm so you can orgasm again in one session much faster. BUT more importantly it's a Dopamine agonist which is critical for libido. DHT is all things male; it's converted from Testosterone via 5-ar enzyme. Some men don't convert well to DHT and this can play on libido as well. Need to understand your estrogen ranges and whether or not when tested you got the "Sensitive" estrogen assay...this is very important. The standard default E2 assay is designed for women and will over estimate a mans serum levels of the same. Thus, if you are 20 pg/ml on the standard assay you could be actually far below that and would point to your low libido and erection quality. Are you taking any meds to manage estrogen like an aromatase inhibitor by any chance? For men on TRT the usual culprit to low libido is either suppressed E2 due to over use of an AI or very elevated E2 as well. [/QUOTE]
