Well I do suffer from time to time hot flashes but I always just associated it with the tucking that I've done thru the years both naturally and induced. My sexual drive is no where near what it was as little as 5 years ago and my testicles are not nearly as full and firm as they were then. I know it's normal for a man to have decreased testosterone production as we age but seems like my testicles are more rapidly powering down than what is considered to be normal. I can still function sexually without Viagra but it definately improves my performance by a wide margin. I don't typically ejaculate half as much semen as I once did and it really lacks much spurting pressure although I never was one to shoot it that hard. Fortunately my prostate health is good as far as my doctor exams and PSA tests go.

One reason I have not gone the HRT route before now is that I understand it in itself causes your own testicles to shut down T production and shrink even more quickly making you totally dependant on HRT. I've always wanted to keep what I had for as long as I could but maybe the day is here to through in the towel and seek HRT.
