Mental effects of Androcur

[spacecase9128 (imported)]

Had my 13th dose this AM. Mental effect so far, I have a gal I like quite a lot and I feel I want to be with her even more at this phase of the androcur. Have known her a long time and do not know if she will ever let it get beyond a friendship, she is still on the fence about that. Have known each other for 2 yrs now. I like what I see in her and also the fact that too much wacky $hit happens in the world with people and knowing someone for a short time is too often dangerous.

I started taking this hoping it would decrease my wanting to be with her it so far is working the other way. Her brother is ill health wise and she is into caring for him til his health continues to decline, and is into advancing her self career wise. Is doing both because she has had some bad dating experiences {see my comment on wacky $hit above; she has had same problem dating wise}. I am proud of what she is doing career wise; am hoping to have a relationship develop between us. It looks like at least 6 more months before this will happen. I was planning to continue androcur for about this length of time; am now questioning if this phase will continue of wanting her more not less.

I hope that I can get some ideas from others about if any have noticed a similar effect.

Thanks

I feel more loving toward my wife and seek intimate contact even more since being on chem cast. Not necessarily penetrative sex but just intimate contact. Lack of testosterone does not make you immune to intimacy, love or desire for physical contact.

There is no question in my mind that the lack of T does effect us memtally. I am a whole lot more caring and not wanting to hurt people's feelings anymore. When I see people hurting, I want to make things better for them. No question in my mind, it does change you mentally.

I have a female friend that knows nothing of how I am, she sees a guy - but yet I suspect she sees through it.

We are pretty close as friends, not as close as like best friends.

But I suspect the Androcur helped that a lot....

Your story does not suprise me, remove the physical "lust" and what's left?

A love for someone perhaps?

From TUGON

Grateful the desires were fading I was surprised by what was taking their place. I was more emotional and even a Hallmark card commercial could make me cry. I also had this incredible desire for affection. In all the years of having sex there was very little affection or need for it. Touching another human being affectionately was the best thing I had experienced. Closeness and warmth without sexual desires was incredible. Next came the biggest change when I felt the desire to have children.

If on Androgel (Due to T level of 179 last time it was checked) nothing or Siterone(androcur) I still want to be with the lady in post 1 in this thread. I did when on Androcur say to her if we went out some where with her daughters kids that we might be mistaken for the parents. (We could both pass for being in mid to late 30's) Reading what "tugon" said this may not be too strange of a thought.

It would not change what I have tried, it does give more insight to Mental effects. I do find people in my age group or slightly above focus on the positive in the relationship they are in and the positive effects it has!!!!

When your wirings all screwed up, (ie how you expirience and express your sexual desires) you compensate in other ways. While under the influence of testosterone I completely lack the ability to expirience intimacy. I am full of anxiety, frustration flustered if not completely incapasitated. (When your girlfriend tells you repeatedly that your eyes remind her of a wolf, you know you got trouble in the intamcy department.) Since I've always been physically gifted, I made up for a lack of true intimacy by becoming very physical, you become an animal to survive.

The is one way that one individual survived early adulthood. So perhaps removing testosterone has allowed you to change your compensatory reponses while affecting the physiological response your body has to stress and arousal.

Just a thought.

I'd say after two years if she wanted you in her life in THAT MANNER she would have let you in by now.

Take it as a good friendship, have a few female friends like that - nothing will ever come from my friendships except friendship - and when they KNOW you don't want them - then maybe they'll try it or relax and be your true friend.

Besides, sometimes it's cool having a gal to talk to!!

But yes there are mental effects - 13 weeks is maybe not enough time to get confident with it, 2 more months perhaps......

Physical and Mental effects of Low T (regardless of how achieved) are nicely explained at this web site:

I tried to say 13 doses at time of orginal post.

I found out she is leaving for Ohio in August, she found out from 2 ladies who work in the same Dept. I do that they were looking for someone for me because I had been so relaxed about something happening but always was remaining hopeful that something would happen between this lady and I. She was suprised that my coworkers were in her words "looking for her replacement". She has also been at work doing its called PDA and I had to ask why now. That started 8 days ago. She had some of her coworkers say what goes, he is really into you and proven he is not wondering. They had other friends notice I did not treat anyone else at the 2 other locations the way I was into her. She had a trust issue with men and her coworkers provided answers I was unable to inspite of my actions and way I treated her.

Oh well a friendship is had out of this and I will enjoy how she enriched my life. I will miss her and wish she had her friends let her know sooner I was true to her the whole time.
