excuse my ignorance, but is that not the point? for absorbtion into the blood stream? or?

thanX to all who have responded-

Maybe I should get some of this stuff, I could apply it just about anywhere on my body. My body hair is just about totally gone.

Well, they don't want it to raise levels too much, and it has already been tested for the upper body application. If people start using it on the scrotum, it may raise it more. (which I of course think is a good thing)

I've used it on the scrotum before. Doesn't burn too bad and it only burns until the alcohol gets evaporated. But if you really want more testosterone, I would get the Andromen from Australia, as it's not alcohol based and is applied to the scrotum. And yes, it raises levels through the roof!

As a side note, I think the makers of Androgel and Testim are purposely making their product with the minimum amount of testosterone in it, so you have to use more of that extremely expensive gel. See, they make it at only 1% testosterone, and why not just make it at 2% and tell people to use half the amount? It would save people big bucks.

Here's a link about where to apply androgel:

I apply it on my shoulders, upper arms, and stomach areas daily. It has a slight alcohol smell to it, but it dries completely in about 5 minutes.

I have had the Rx before, but I think probably for different reason than most here - but it is nice to know the ins and outs - thanX thanX again for all the replies
