For 2 years I suffered with low testosterone. I have been on testosterone replacement therapy for awhile now and I am really struck by how much this hormone influences us as men. When my testosterone was low my libido was gone all together. When my libido started fading away I was actually kind of happy about it. Women had no influence on me what so ever. When a HB9 walked in the door cleavage hanging out I barely noticed. I kind of liked it because it was the first time in my life that I could not sit around thinking about getting laid all the time. This is probably the reason why I let it go so long without getting checked. However this is not the only symptom of Low T. Over 2 years I became a complete couch potato and loved it. I had no desire to do anything. I am in a competitive sales job and before I used to really love trying to win and be the top sales guy and that desire had left me. I did not care about winning any more. I started gaining a crazy amount of weight in 6 months I went from 210 to 245. I became extremely weak and could not even hold my 2 year old daughter for more than a minute without getting winded. Anything that required some muscle I could not do because I did not have any muscle. I had become basically like an 80 year old man and I am only 34. I did not listen to music any more ,complained all the time and was just a crabby person.

Finally went to the doctor he had me checked and sure enough I was way below even what they call normal. I have been taking Testosterone injections for a couple of months and what a difference! Energy is through the roof. I got a gym membership and actually want to work out. My libido is back with a vengeance. Mood is improved alot. I am sleeping better. I feel like a man again!

This chemical is SO powerful over us as men. Its not just about our libido either it affects all of the things that give us our drive. I often here about men who go "monk mode" or "MGTOW" and when my testosterone was low this kind of thing seemed valid to me. However after having my testosterone boosted i can say that if a man has a good amount of testosterone in his body it would be damn near impossible for him to be "monk mode" or "MGTOW" for very long.

Low T is a problem for the modern western world. Its most likely attributed to our weight/diets. Regardless if you feel like you can just never be with women again and that does not bother you honestly you should get your testosterone checked because it affects a lot more than just your libido.
