[QUOTE="RoneTone, post: 150413, member: 2887"] Low SHBG is strongly associated with insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome. Erections are far more than hormones. The health of your endothelium and proper vasodilation is critical for erections (even PDE5 inhibitors can't overcome these). What is your A1C? GGT? Have you done an insulin survey or OGTT? Have you tested for fatty liver? Google "low SHBG fatty liver" and you will see a long list of studies that show findings like "The presence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a strong risk predictor for type 2 diabetes (T2D). A reduction in sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is associated with NAFLD" If you are any where near pre-diabetic, insulin resistant, have any fatty liver, high levels of visceral fat, are overweight, etc., you will struggle with erections no matter your T level. You can also look into neurotransmitter imbalances. For example too much norepinephrine will kill erections (at least in my case and many others). There are also some studies showing: "It has previously been shown that in normal subjects, physiological elevation of norepinephrine (NE) impairs insulin sensitivity (Si) but does not influence insulin secretion" Just some food for thought...
