[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 240105, member: 15235"] I used 10-12 mg per day, so around 70-90 per week. I am someone who does better on lower doses in general and for whatever reason I seem to do slightly better on sexual function with t-cyp twice per week totaling about the same amount. I also use HCG and DHEA, and the mini-trough may make the HCG a bit more effective although that is just speculation. Regarding aging, that is a much bigger and different topic, however a quick summary is that there is a theory of aging that says it is a “programmed” function of the body whereby the body “tries” to kill itself, as opposed to the more widely-known theory which is that aging is due to accumulated damage at various levels. As one of the proponents (Josh Mittledorf, whose blog “Aging Matters” is a good place to start on this topic) of the programmed view says “there is no such thing as natural anti-aging.” The relevant point for us is that while the body’s “natural” approach is a fine thing to use a starting point to develop a hypothesis about what might work best, there is no certainty that it will lead to the best approach for an individual. This is doubly true for an aging person who may have needs that the body has not prioritized such as lack of frailty and continued youthful sexual function. For example, nature (in general, not necessarily for healthy individuals) does not “want” old guys having lots of children since their accumulated injuries and decline in function would make their offspring much less likely to survive to a point of species-benefit “break even.” [/QUOTE]
