High libido while having low testosterone

[IamNotShepard]

Hi,

Is it possible to have very high libido and good erections while also having low testosterone levels? Did any of you experience that? Thanks.

usually we see low T ends up meaning the guy has become E dominant and therein lies where the water retention, ED, weight gain, etc etc that come from being low T. But we're all different and it wouldn't be unheard of in fact I think I've read individual stories similar to that where a guy presented as low T but was more of a unicorn in the sexual sides be much less.

If I had high libido and good erections, I would not start TRT unless T levels are very low (under 250 ng/dL verified by at least two morning time fasted samples)

Right libido is subjective...if my penis could keep pace with my brain id be humping everything.

I would agree with Nelson, going on trt could hurt your libido and also cause ED. Make sure you have your Labs first thing in the morning fasting, you could also find natural ways to increase your testosterone.

Funny thing about this, coming from my personal experience, the sexual side of TRT wasn't the main benefit or symptom. The mental sides were killing me. In addition, you have to consider your health. Low T is not healthy.

Was me as well. Never really had any sexual sides from low t.

I agree with that.

Same. With low T I hade zero sexual sides, and libido was good from what I remember. It was definitely the mental sides that caused me to seek treatment.

Also I’m able to keep fat off much easier now. That was a side effect of low T I didn’t even realize I was experiencing. It was definitely harder to keep fat off before I started TRT.

I had a high libido and my **** worked fine before starting trt. Problem I had was no energy, recovery, drive, strength, appetite ect.

 

[Vitamin_C]

Yes, I had great libido and great erections despite T levels in the 200-500 ng/dl range.

 

[Smokey]

Same here, great libido and erections but was depressed and sleepy in the evening and had dizzy spells. Thinking back I should have just addressed adrenal fatigue which was causing low T

I think T messes with libido, for sure. If I had nickel for every post I've read here--and elsewhere--from guys with high T and low libido, I'd be a millionaire. Sure, elevated E can be a culprit, but as most of you know, its more complicated than that. For example, my libido is much stronger if I stay in the 400's, but physically, I feel crappy unless I'm in the higher 6s or low 7s. Then, however, libido is hit or miss. A balancing act that never ends, IMO.

Even the most perfect TRT Protocol will occasionally have some erectile issues...

Nobody who takes an AI can be sure 100% that their **** will always Work.

Histamine levels also play a large part in libido. People with higher histamine levels tend to have supercharged libidos, male or female.

I don't believe so.

High histamine = high libido

Aren't we saying the same thing? High histamine correlates with high libido?

Of course it can as testosterone/e2 are only part of the overall picture regarding ones libido/erectile health as there are many other factors involved.

Ones cardiovascular/endothelial health, NO (nitric oxide levels)/excess stress (mental/physical)/lack of quality sleep/depression,anxiety,anger issues/poor diet/unhealthy lifestyle (excess alcohol/drug use/smoking)/certain medications.

There are many articles if you research "undermethylation", or "histadelia". One example from Livestrong:
"Among other things, histamines play a key role in regulation of the sexual libido..."

I don't have a high enough post count to add the link, but the info is easy to find.
