Thanks, man. Maybe I’ve just been lucky. Interestingly, testosterone is used in some cases to actually treat prostate cancer: Study Solves Testosterone’s Paradoxical Effects in Prostate Cancer.

I'll just briefly share my prostate cancer and TRT journey. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer (Gleason 3+4) five years ago, at age 65. I went on active surveillance (meaning no treatment, just monitoring cancer progress) with Dr. Mark Scholz, who is arguably the world's leading prostate...

That certainly makes sense. From an evolutionary perspective, an animal in a calorie deficit wouldn't - and shouldn't - be focused on sex/procreation but rather survival.

Maybe! That would explain it. I should check my blood sugar levels.

I tried semaglutide (from Empower Pharmacy) to lose a few pounds but felt crushing fatigue from even a single injection of 0.25 ml. I thought that might be a fluke, so I tried again a few weeks later - same result. Not for me, apparently. Glad others are getting good results, but it seems I'll...

As Melody68 noted, the “going soft” phenomenon can be a performance anxiety issue. In my case, I can be rock hard (without any drug assistance) on the couch, but the erection fades by the time I’m between the sheets. If you’re in the same boat, 5 units may be all you need. The Trimix just adds...

Thanks, Madman - makes sense. On Dr. Peter Attia's podcast, Attia got into this issue with Derek of "More Plates, More Dates": #291 ‒ The role of testosterone in males and females, performance-enhancing drugs, sustainable fat loss, supplements, and more | Derek, More Plates More Dates Pt.2 -...

I have the opposite issue of Jacb: on 100 mg weekly of T cypionate (divided into 2 weekly doses), my recent (Jan. 2024) Labcorp results show very high T, but rather low free T: TOTAL TESTOSTERONE: >1500 NG/DL FREE T: 11.5 (DIRECT) SHBG wasn't measured on this test, but I assume it's high, thus...

ADT wasn't even brought up in my case. As I mentioned earlier, I had a single radiation treatment at UCLA. That was it.

I agree that's a red flag. It's certainly considered risky not to treat 4+3, but there are a ton of options out there. Surgery is the barbaric option, in my view: ripping out the prostate, likely leaving you with both urinary and erectile issues (and a shorter penis, which often isn't...

Jay - I didn't have to suffer through ADT, which isn't necessarily combined with HDR brachy. In fact I stayed on TRT before and after my prostate treatment. Of course every case is different. Did your doctor specifically recommend ADT for you?

Trimix is a miracle drug for any "performance anxiety," which was my issue when entering a new relationship in my 60s. You can forget about your erection quality and just focus on sexual fun. As with any new drug, start off low and slow. On the priapism threat, no disrespect to FunkOdyssey, but...

Thanks BigTex! I don't expect to have much competition at either weight in my age group (65-69) and location (New Mexico). My personal best at the bench press (the only event I'm entering) is 220 lbs, and I'd love to get to 225+ lbs by the meet date (May 20).

I tried semaglutide briefly. Even at a low intro dose (0.25 ml), I suffered bouts of fatigue that reminded me of when I had chronic fatigue in my twenties (after contracting mononucleosis). The fatigue would hit exactly two days after injecting semaglutide. Dr. Peter Attia did a recent podcast...

Likewise, Nelson. I even had an online session with Dr. Justin, who appears to be very open to arranging Zoom calls with purchasers. My issue was that I was only interested in measuring my nocturnal erections (before and after treatment for prostate cancer), not in purchasing a "cock ring." But...
