For TRT sucess cases do you still need ED drugs such as Viagra, etc?

Hi, generally when people say TRT worked for them, did they have normal erections or still need Viagra? - I ask because I am low SHBG and have a hard time dialing in with TRT, but sometimes I feel like I have sex drive but my penis wont react, other times I have no sex drive at all, and very occasionally I have good libido and I do get an erection just by thinking on sex for a few seconds. So I am targeting this latter case but without using any ED drugs.

Please let me know how does this work for other people on TRT.

I think the two are different problems, lidido/desire, and the ability to get hard. Testosterone isn't going to get you hard, it (hopefully) makes you want to have sex, but it's not going to generate an erection if you have blood flow problems.

Thanks Vince, but I suspect I may not have blood flow problems, but not ruling it out completely. This is why I suspect I don't have that:

1. Sometimes very ocassionally when TRT actually works (say 1 out in 10 weeks), I am horny and I can get an erection easily just with thoughts about sex.

2. I usually get nighttime/morning wood.

So then I guess it goes back to the libido fine tuning with TRT and E2 control. Is there any blood test that can help determine if you may have blood flow problems or bad circulation?

How you feel sexually is how I feel injecting my doses twice weekly, however things change dramatically injecting smaller doses EOD.

Libido/erectile function and health are complex as many other factors can have a negative impact regardless of having healthy testosterone levels.

Poor cardiovascular/endothelial function, issues with NO production/levels, lack of sleep, excess stress (mental/physical), poor diet, psychological issues (depression/anxiety), underlying health issues, smoking and abuse of alcohol/recreational drugs and so on.....you get the point.

The number one factor regarding erectile function is having a healthy cardiovascular system.

Healthy functioning endothelial cells which line the inside of blood vessels are critical to having good blood flow and NO (nitric oxide) levels play a big role in the optimal function of blood vessels.

Sure testosterone plays a strong role regarding libido/drive and yes even erectile function/health as there are AR (androgen receptors) in penile tissue and testosterone also increase NO (nitric oxide).

Erections start in the bodies most important sex organ.....no not the staff of glory but the brain.

Sure high/low e2 can have negatives effects on ones libido/erectile function as can elevated prolactin and of course low testosterone as we all know but there are so many other factors which can cause problems with libido/erections and it is not always as simple as having healthy total/free t levels along with e2.

One needs to look over other areas which may be contributing to the problem.

I have low SHBG and my reaction to TRT is the same as yours. Nothing I have read on any TRT site has shown to be of any benefit for us low SHBG guys. There are the occasional "unicorns" - guys with low SHBG that get true benefits from TRT but they are extremely rare.
