Several months ago I started TRT. It's helped my confidence a good deal. However, like many guys, I had a "honeymoon period" for approximately the first week, where I felt unstoppable in terms of confidence. Specifically, my bedroom performance was at an all-time high.

Sure, this brief honeymoon period was in part due to the new testosterone. However, the increase in available testosterone in my blood at that early point was limited, so a good part of my increased confidence and performance was psychological (i.e. a placebo effect).

I want to learn more about how to effectively leverage that "placebo effect" of confidence. I'll probably post this in a few forums but would love any seddit input.

My overall confidence in life has been up and down; I'm almost bi-polar in this regard. In terms of sex and women, sometimes I've felt like an unstoppable beast. Not needy, purely confident, and feeling and performing great. Other times, I have needy thought patterns, low confidence, and terrible bedroom performance.

I see a therapist, so I may start working on confidence stuff with them. But I would love to learn some ways that I can build, strengthen, and maintain the confidence I get that leads to high performance with women. I feel set up for success in this (I'm self-aware around my neediness with women and external validation, I have a fairly interesting life, I'm in incredible shape and very confident physically, etc). But I want to find a methodology or mental exercises I can do that actively build this confidence.

thanks dudes.

Edit thanks so much to everyone who chimed in here. I really appreciate the input and support on this.
