Male Low Libido Solutions: Testosterone Replacement and Beyond for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

[madman]

9:00-21:48

Program

In this webinar, we collaborated with the “Sociedad Latinoamericana de Medicina Sexual” (SLAMS), ISSM's regional affiliated society for the Latin American region. In Latin America, low desire in men is a common reason for consultations among physicians who work in Sexual Medicine. It's a great challenge for physicians to provide guidance to their patients, but many don't, and their partners are seeking alternatives to improve their sex lives, or they are seeking professional help. With an international panel, this webinar delves into this issue and provides recommendations for providing care.

Male Sexual Response

Thread 'Androgen modulation of mesoprefrontal dopamine systems and the effects of these actions on the adult male brain'

Jul 13, 2024

Again would tread lightly on how high you run your trough/steady-state FT level!

This can easily backfire in the long-run for many especially when it comes to mood, libido and erectile function!

Too high a FT level can be just as bad in many ways as having too low a FT level.

Libido starts in the brain.

Neurotransmitters have a big impact especially dopamine.

There is a fine balance here when it comes to the dopamine system!

This is key here..... dopamine circuits are powerfully regulated by androgens!

Dec 26, 2025

*This discussion explores why libido is frequently ignored and how it differs from arousal, performance, orgasm, and ejaculation. It highlights the brain as the primary sexual organ and explains how psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic fatigue can significantly influence desire.
