Dopamine is critical to libido.

In hypogonadal men, especially those who have had the condition for a long period of time, Testosterone will increase libido.  It's why we hear sp many men say when they first start HRT libido seems to go "crazy"...the fact is, it is going crazy. 

But why...

This is due to a "dopamine rush" caused by the increase in Testosterone serum levels increasing natural dopamine production hence activating receptors that have been dormant for a long period of time in the brain and thus the increase in libido and a better sense of overall well being.

 

Over time this dopamine rush subsides and the man will feel good with a normal healthy libido.

BTW, I take .25 mg of Cabergoline twice weekly to enhance libido with great results.  Caber is a dopamine agonist and increases dopamine levels and I swear that it really works for me as my libido can be down right strong and pretty consistent as well!
