How does HRT or the absence of affect you..

Have you considered what test man said he did? Use an anabolic steroid that is molecularly close to testosterone but isn’t. Something like deca durabolin or trenbolone would probably keep muscle, allow you to “perform” if needed, but would kill your sex drive. I’m certainly not suggesting using 300-500 mg per week that a gym rat like me would, but since trenbolone is considered 5x stinger than testosterone and HRT for testosterone seems to fun in the 50-100 mg per week area, maybe using 10 -20 mg per week of trenbolone would work. Personally I think at some point soon I’m going to try this combined with an SSRI (Paxil/ Celexa) and see if that doesn’t take care of my sex drive. On the SSRI that I took for 2 months, I went from jerking off twice a day to maybe once every two weeks. I think the two combined would help keep lean muscle mass but get rid of any desire.

I was considering this same approach, but I'm not sure I want to mess around with anabolics. What is your goal?

I have stopped using Testosterone Gel on several occasions and here is what my experiences were:

I became calm and rational and less stressed about being castrated.

It was a pleasant experience, for me at least.

Then I restarted Testosterone Gel and now I feel :

Stressed, anxious, on the edge of an emotional cliff.

No matter if I am using it or not I am the perfect complete no libido, sexless eunuch who can not get an erection or have an orgasm

So T or no T does not affect my sexual functioning but with T I am an emotional basket case and without T a much more calm and neutral neutered person.

As others say different chemicals affect each of in different ways, which can also change over time.

I was forced off of T for two months recently due to insurance shenanigans. Just had my first shot last week. My depression worsened and worst for me was that my metabolism CRATERED. I gained 20 pounds in the first month. I bought some sexy Summer clothes back in May and I can't wear them.

But now I'm back on T, I've started a diet, and I'm walking everyday, so hopefully I can get back into those 4" inseam shorts by August.

(oh, and my libido did drop, but not completely, and so slowly I didn't even notice. At least, didn't notice until I got back on T and ba-ZING!)
