Anyone else out there have dull or no feeling orgasms when starting trt?
I can get hard. But penile sensitivity is down. And when I cum. It’s a good sized load. But little to no feeling with it?
On 110mg test cyp a week in 2 injections.
900iu hcg divided in 3 injections.
I tried adding p5p(b6) and
L-Tyrosine. And 50 mg a day and 500 to 1000mg respectively. With no real change.
This sorta sucks. Before trt I could feel the orgasm. Estrogen isn’t the problem.
Anybody else?

Some guys do experience a loss of sensitivity under TRT. I've had that myself and suspect it's from excessive dosing of testosterone and/or disruption of other hormones. If this is the case then the goal should be to restore realistic healthy levels of testosterone and other hormones. Bear in mind that the average healthy young man is only making testosterone equivalent to 60-70 mg TC per week. Lowering the dose is easier said than done, because it can make you feel somewhat hypogonadal for a prolonged period. Some anecdotes. Things get more complicated if lower doses don't do the job. Then you may need to look into more substantial changes to the form of TRT you use.

What is your Sensitive Estrogen level? I wouldn't discount this as a potential contributor though sexual performance is otherwise good.

I do like your your protocol. I need higher levels to feel good. Plus I've always had a strong libido and zero anxiety issues Like cat said, some do need lower levels to feel their best.

Thank you for replies. Last check in I was 740 TT at trough. and FTI was 98 percent. Estrogen was 49 pg/ml
I added .25 of armidex a week, just to see if bringing down the estrogen a little would help. I haven't retested. But haven't noticed any differences

Be careful with armidex. Men do need estrogen for overall health.

Before TRT I could orgasm at least twice in a row; after TRT I could only do it once. It's a good one, but that's it till the next day (or two). I think it has something to do with a reduction of penile sensitivity.

I been on trt for 11 years now. My orgasms are great and I can still cum two times in a row. After my first wife passed away from cancer and I started dating again. I was in my '50s and I was able to come three times in a row. Now that I'm in my '70s twice is fine for me.

Hey Vince, Cataceous implied that a loss of penile sensitivity could be the result of excess T. I've always reacted very strongly to small doses of anything, and my 63mg week of Enanthate still gets me to a slight excess of the normal upper limit of free T. I thought I read at one time that you were doing quite well on a very small dose? Maybe I should cut my dose even further?

This is my protocol 16 mg of testosterone cypionate daily and 500 IU of HCG every third day, no AI. I combine both the HCG and testosterone in the same syringe. My last Labs my total T was above 1500, My doctor told me if I feel good I can leave it as it is, which I do and did leave as is.

I do agree with cat. Some men do need lower levels, especially if they get anxiety which many members do.

Yes. But has anyone found out why the reduction in sensitivity?

I'm sure you started with twice injections weekly. Before moving to daily. I assume you are doing subcanetous now through an insulin syringe? Why the change to daily, what benefits did you see?

I do both Sub-Q 2 days a week and shallow IM 4 days I rotate 6 injection areas. The only reason I went to daily's was to control my HCT. Which it worked. Thankfully. I have not donated blood for 9 years now.

I felt great on any any TRT protocol.

What's level is your estrogen at?

I have had estrogen low , high and in between. Dht middle of the road and way high and T various levels. Sensitivity has always been down since TRT though. I don’t know the reasons but once In a blue moon I get a nice burst sensitivity and then it disappears.

I am not clear. Are you just on 900IU/week of hCG or is it in combination with TRT? Please clarify.
How many times do you masturbate per week? Are you on any other meds?

Summary: What Men on ExcelMale Are Experiencing​

Based on forum discussions, men on TRT are reporting a complex and frustrating constellation of symptoms around penile sensitivity and orgasm difficulties. Here's what emerges:

Core Problems Reported​

Men are experiencing a distinct pattern where they can achieve and maintain erections but feel little to no pleasure from stimulation. As one member describes it: "Pleasure turns on only 5 seconds before orgasm. This is what it means to not have penis sensitivity." This is explicitly differentiated from erectile dysfunction—they have erections but no accompanying sensation or pleasure until moments before climax. Excel Male Excel Male


Many report delayed orgasm or complete inability to orgasm during intercourse. One man describes being able to orgasm in 5-10 minutes through masturbation but never being able to reach orgasm from vaginal or oral sex while on TRT. Another describes needing to exert extreme effort, becoming "winded and sweating," still unable to finish. Excel Male Excel Male

Suspected Causes​

Estradiol (E2) Imbalance: This appears to be the most commonly cited culprit. Both high and low estradiol levels are reported to cause sensitivity issues, though the responses are highly individual. Some men find sensitivity returns when E2 is in their personal "sweet spot," while others note problems at either extreme. Question about HCG dosage, penis sensitivity and ability/ inability to orgasm | Excel Male TRT Forum +2


HCG Use (or Lack Thereof): Opinions are sharply divided. Some men report that adding HCG to their TRT protocol dramatically restores sensitivity and sexual function. Others find HCG makes things worse. One member reported being on TRT for 26 years with no issues until adding HCG, which made "all things sexual much worse." Excel Male Excel Male

Key Takeaway​

The forum discussions highlight that ejaculation, orgasm, erection quality, and penile sensitivity are separate physiological processes controlled by different parts of the nervous system—and these can become disconnected during hormone therapy. There's no standardized solution, and men are largely left to experiment with dosing and protocols individually. Excel Male
