    Natural: why is my test so high?

    Amazing to me that after all these years, and all of the trips through the weeds and the deep dives down the rabbit hole that we still need to remind people that the only true meaningful measurement of testosterone is free testosterone. Take that a step further and measure total and free DHT...

    Retatrutide - A Game Changer in Obesity Pharmacotherapy

    I haven't changed anything nutritionally as I already eat a balanced high protein diet. Portion size is smaller because you get full faster. I would imagine if you were doing Keto the results would be even greater, but I love bread too much to do it for any length of time. I don't eat a lot, but...

    Retatrutide - A Game Changer in Obesity Pharmacotherapy

    Both semaglutide and tirzepatide did that to me, but surprisingly not retatrutide. Hopefully it will pass (no pun intended) ;)

    Once a week is working for me, I haven't really noticed any kind of wearing off effects.

    Retatrutide - A Game Changer in Obesity Pharmacotherapy

    This stuff burns fat like Napalm... I have never lost weight this fast before. It's also quite a bit different from the other GLP-1 drugs regarding appetite control, it removes the cravings. It also changes your taste a bit. I am a wine enthusiast (read that as wino). Admittedly, I drink too...

    Retatrutide - A Game Changer in Obesity Pharmacotherapy

    I started with 1mg, which is a low dose. I have had unpleasant experiences with other GLP-1 drugs, so I wanted to start slow. After a week, I bumped it to 2 mg and have been on that dosage since. I'm going to go to 3 mg on my next injection. I did feel the low energy side effects at first, but...

    Who has a personal account of seeing improvements in partnered-sex after quitting porn and masturbation?

    Some people are just wired to be vulnerable to addictive substances and activities. It's the addictive personality trait in certain people that cause them to be drawn in to the point of obsession and addiction. For those people, there is no moderation. The only answer is complete avoidance. If a...

    Deep Dive: Research on Pornography Use, "Addiction," Mood, Libido, and Sexual Function in Men

    "When Preference Shifts Matter A study found no association between erectile function scores and craving for, or obsessive passion for, pornography. However, preference for pornography with masturbation over partnered sex was significantly associated with erectile dysfunction—rates of ED were...

    Orgasm. But no feeling

    There are some products designed for targeting the pelvic floor muscles. Some are designed for females, but have a male attachment. https://www.kgoal.com/products/kgoal-boost-kegel-trainer-for-men https://menkegel.com/products/ekegel https://menkegel.com/...

    Orgasm. But no feeling

    Trouble Finishing (GLP-1 & TRT protocol discussion)

    It's best to avoid AI's entirely, but if you are going to try it remember a little goes a long way. Try .25 sublingually (under the tongue) anastrozole doesn't have much of a taste and it works faster taken sublingually. Use it on demand only as symptoms appear. If it doesn't help within a few...

    Trouble Finishing (GLP-1 & TRT protocol discussion)

    Buspirone works best for females. As an anxiolytic medication, it can have a calming effect which can counter the male sexual response. If the condition is anxiety related, it may be a good option for some males. I have used it in the past. It's a great way to lower anxiety, but I would rather...

    Trouble Finishing (GLP-1 & TRT protocol discussion)

    Interesting connection between GLP-1 agonists and dopamine signaling. Most studies (albeit some are mice studies) indicate that GLP-1 agonists actually increase dopamine signaling. This would appear to be counter to what the OP has alleged as the culprit for the anorgasmia, or delayed orgasm...

    Retatrutide - A Game Changer in Obesity Pharmacotherapy

    I have not had very good experiences with GLP-1 drugs. The appetite suppression was nice, but the gastrointestinal side effects were a deal breaker. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide both shut down my digestive system. My wife has been on Retatrutide for a few months with very good results. I need to...

    Peptide suppliers

    PS is an excellent and reliable source of quality peptides. You know you are getting top quality products. They are on the pricier side however. I recently started using Verified Peptides as well. Third party testing by Janoshik Labs and very good pricing. They don’t have nearly as extensive...

    Dihexa for Cognitive Enhancement

    LOL as to Reddit... you nailed it. Unfortunately, most of the anecdotal information regarding Dihexa is on that platform. Some of the posts go deep into the weeds with conjecture. Considering the very limited validated information, I believe there is free reign to post whatever blows your skirt...

    NAD+

    I'm thinking the front-loading protocol works great and gives the precursor (NR) time to do its thing. I don't have a definite plan at this point but intend to continue EOD for the time being. It's not really that high of a dose, so I feel okay with this plan. I think it will resolve itself as...

    Very positive results so far with the injections. I am injecting 50 mg EOD and can really feel an energy and mood elevation. I can say this is improving a lot of aspects to my overall life. I am a musician, and I have really been energized lately. My playing is better, and my voice has regained...

    Temporary use of Prednisone

    I have taken high dose prednisone multiple times for various reasons. Mainly allergic symptoms, rashes, hives and swelling. It’s always been a taper down protocol, 60 mg tapering down to 20 over 7 days. Prednisone is a wonder drug for this purpose. I too experienced the initial rush as you...

    I joined today. I was unaware they existed until your post. I would recommend anyone who is a supplement buyer join. Its 69.00 a year, well worth it.

    Thanks to Gman's sleuthing, it appears that the Orgabay product is bunk. It's a damn shame that there is so much dishonesty in the supplement market. I assumed that the product may have less of the active ingredients than advertised as that is common. But according to testing done, it has none...
