Is testosterone replacement therapy the key to a boosted libido? The answer is more complicated than you might think. Join us as we explore the science.
Spend enough time doom-scrolling, and you will inevitably catch some meathead gym rat-turned-“social media influencer” rambling—probably shirtless—about how going on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) transformed his weak wiener into a ruthless, take-no-prisoners sex machine. These self-proclaimed fitness gurus are all over the internet these days, seemingly on a mission to convince their flabbier, libidinally challenged counterparts that all they have to do to screw like they’re in their 20s again is to juice up their manhood. With vocal TRT champions giving it their full endorsement, droves of men young and old have bought into the deal and are now smearing, drinking and injecting this stuff on a quest for a fountain of fucking youth.
It’s understandable why so many dudes would be drawn to such promises. Testosterone starts to diminish in men at around the age of 30, with the hallmark symptom being a decline in libido. Back in the day, guys thought a disinterest in sex was just a natural part of aging and wouldn’t dare talk to their doctors about it. Today, men aren’t as reserved as the generations before them, and more than that, they have no interest in finding themselves confined sexlessly to the recliner by the time they turn 40.
So, it makes sense that some men are desperately looking at TRT as a potential solution. After all, if a man can’t summon his most basic carnal desire, what’s there to live for? After a lifetime spent depleting the stiffness of their man meat with fatty foods and sloth, many guys now hope that all they need is TRT to get their peckers fluttering again.
“I got my levels checked in my 40s,” Don, now 51, tells HUSTLERMagazine.com. “I didn’t have any energy and not much interest in sex… My wife thought I wasn’t sexually attracted to her anymore. She’s the one who made the appointment for me.”
