[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 214475, member: 42264"] My opinion is that TRT is reasonable if you have no other way of addressing your problems. It looks like you are already making lifestyle changes. Are there any more changes you can make? For example: [LIST] [*]are you taking any medication that can reduce testosterone (opioids, etc)? [*]how is your sleep hygiene? [*]is stress under control? [LIST] [*]ever consider learning meditation? [/LIST] [*]is body fat under control? [*]can you tweak your diet? [/LIST] I commend you for recognizing your porn addiction and your willingness to share it. I suspect that may be playing a role in your libido. I recommend being patient, keep working with your therapist and let the process work itself out. I have been on TRT for about 7 years. My struggle to find the sweet spot is pretty well documented around here. I sometimes look back and wonder if I would require TRT had I made more concerted efforts to control modifiable lifestyle factors. On the other hand, I have zero problem with TRT if I need it. I would make efforts on lifestyle. If you end up in the same place, contemplating TRT, no problem. At least you won't have the nagging questions I have when I wonder what would have been had I done the same. [/QUOTE]
