In the last five years, I have struggled with finding any reliable way to increase libido.

I had a period of estrogen dominance combined with low free T (a metric Ray does not believe in but anyway). This came with all the horrible stuff like ED, anxiety, hot flushes, no energy etc.

I managed to balance these issues out but followed up with a period of low carb that probably created new problems or made an already dysfunctional metabolism worse.

Even though I today have perfect rock solid morning wood daily, put on lots of mass since starting peat, more energy and mental stability - the one thing I have not managed to affect is my libido, which has never returned to normal levels.

My average resting heart rate is 60-70.
Waking temp probably 97.7 but usually goes up to 98.25 during the day.
30 years old, 183cm, 77kg

I've been rocking a progesterone level of 0.14-0.21 ng/mL for the last two years and I've been worrying if that is too low. Some prog supplementation before has increased libido initially but in the end, left me with numb **** syndrome. Ray did not point out my prog levels when he saw my labs either, he just recommended NDT.

I'm on 30mg NDT, Pansterone 2-4 drops per day, K2, D, E and aspirin 81-310mg daily

Initially, I got a large libido increase from Pansterone to the scrotum, but this has plateaued, unfortunately. If it would have persisted I would have considered myself cured.

I can have sex a couple of times per week no problem, no ED, but my interest is just not there and it's driving me crazy.

Also, another thing I've noticed is that since having these problems I do not get spontaneous erections anymore or erections without any form of physical stimulation.

I need to make out or some form of physical touching with women in order to get a boner, and this did not used to be the case. Just visual stimulation does not seem to cut it anymore.

A year back I tried Cialis a couple of times just for fun and it gave me lots of spontaneous erections. I do not know what to make of this though.

You guys have any experiences to share what worked for you?

question when you applied pansterone did you apply it, and rub it in with your finger? Or just let it do it’s thing?

Thanks for sharing that vulture.

I've been thinking a lot about DHT, I will get my labs done tomorrow or Thursday and after that I will order some Mesterolone or Proviron if the DHT comes back low. It's kinda the last resort deal as I do not like the idea of ordering random powders from China (Standard Raws) and dose myself with it hoping I got the good stuff, it's kinda like recreational drug use haha.

I'm a huge fan of cacao, I probably consume upwards 0,5kg a week at least but taken breaks from it for periods as well. Sugared milk with cacao powder is epic and a large chunk of my calorie intake comes from that. As far as I have researched it's probably one of the best specific foods you can implement for preventing cardiovascular disease. Theobromine is a fascinating chemical not so different from caffeine but more of a heart stimulant. I also like that epicatechin inhibits follistatin so beneficial for building muscle and preventing sarcopenia in old age. Not to mention all the awesome stuff about stearic acid posted here on the forum. For me, it's the number one, more beneficial than aspirin or vitamin E I think since those are not really needed if your diet is good consistently.

Actually, there is a research review that I read before that showed that Theobromine promotes sleep while caffeine made sleep quality worse. If you google it you can probably find it. I eat chocolate before bed and never have a problem, but I usually make sure it's not more than 20-30g.

I also eat mushrooms multiple times a week, so far I have not noticed any libido increase from that. But I think I must also have some unusual issue since my morning wood is great every day, but my libido is not, it's a weird combination.
Yeah, I am sure it has also been stress related for me in the past, but in this case, right now I am not so sure.

I am basically semi-retired, this year I will only be working a regular job for 1 month in June. Since November I have had no job other than developing a website I work on that supports me. I just work when I feel like it, If I don't then I won't. At this point I am starting to think that it has nothing to do with stress, if I was very stressed as well then I doubt I would be able to build all that muscle in the last few months.

From a society standpoint, I would probably belong to the wealthy, successful, still young and relatively handsome, without sounding like a self-absorbed douche haha. I have no problem meeting women, but I have a lack of interest even when I am presented with the opportunity and being pursued. That's why I feel like something is not functioning as it should and it's driving me crazy.

Hypersexuality would be nice for a change, maybe I'll get myself some T3 and see if I can make myself hyperthyroid :P

Thanks Dave for your input.

where can you get t3?

In Terms of Libido, i eat Beets and / or Drink Pomegranate Juice Everyday. Also Combining Garlic with a Vitamin C Source seems to Help.....

It‘s Possible in Germany...hehe

Don‘t Worry. I mostly Chew on a Bit of RAW Ginger after i eat Garlic Cloves. It Neutralises the smell most of the Time.

Sexual urges should not be viewed as an indicator of health. "Don't deplete yourself" would be the basis of bringing back libido to many TCM practitioners. That would mean decrease ejaculation at first, never get cold, eat enough, reduce stress, etc... Why should your interest in sex be more than a few times per week? Especially with these estrogen & stress lowering compounds you're on... How old are you?

I find 3mg of exemestane, 3mg of metergoline, 20mg of progest-e, 5mg of DHEA and 100mg of pregnenolone really maintain things nicely.
