Testosterone is produced in the balls and the adrenal gland, the adrenal gland is the starter motor, balls do the main production.

Young women ALL comment about how far my balls hang down, (I can grab a fistful of nutsack, crotch one side, balls the other) maybe the problem is your balls spend too much of each 24 hour period too warm and cosy inside too well fitting underwear while you flit from centrally heated buildings to climate controlled vehicles, and spend lots of time with your legs stationary and close together.

Maybe the then and now is a simple as how we treat our balls now and what environment they find themselves in.

1/ testosterone has been known about since pre-WW2, in fact it got some guys the ’39 nobel, so why is it only now “in the spotlight” and everyone’s favourite subject? Marketing.

2/ The rest of the organism failing to process testosterone as efficiently, say a 10% drop, will have the same outward effects as a 10% drop in testosterone levels, but, THERE MAY BE A REASON why the body is dropping efficiency or production.

3/ The body is brutal, it doesn’t give a fuck what I think about me in my 50’s, it only cares about utility, biologically I am past it.

4/ TRT is like Insulin replacement therapy.

5/ Quote “It’s only been a month or two, but I’m only noticing benefits – no detriments” – dude, I said the same exact shit, and meant it, about acid and speed back in the day, it is only 30 years later I am seeing the clear differences in those who carried on using for years.

6/ fuck it, quitting smoking and drinking alcohol has AT LEAST as noticeable improvements in health, vitality and cognitive ability….. currently I am smoking again but no drinking, so currently I am doing exactly what you are doing, recreationally dosing myself with drugs because on balance I like it and prefer it.

7/ Quote “I think TRT’s a pretty safe bet; but that’s only my two cents.” and THAT was the point of what I wrote, in order to be able to evaluate the odds, we have to be able to know and calculate the odds, and since neither one of us, nor any biochemist or medical professional, or anyone else, knows enough about DNA and biochemistry to actually be able to calculate the odds, claiming something is a pretty safe bet, whether it is your testosterone or my nicotine or Fred’s medical marijuana, is just a a sop to our conscience and a hamster wheel rationalisation that we make to justify a course of action that we already decided we want to do… >;*)

8/ Your body, your temple, feel free to run it any way you please, I’m just here making conversation. >;*)

But hey, the pattern works, so why change it. After all we’re just pattern matching machines.

The comments are a fountain of red-pill reality. If she hasn´t deleted them.
The MGTOW fora has a nice thread on it.

Even with all the stories about steroids, a lot of guys manage to use them without apparent long-term consequences; give the scare-tactics in the media, if there were long-term consequences (for the majority of users) we would have heard about it by now. Low testosterone, on the other hand, is an begrudgingly-acknowledged problem, with distinct health impacts. I’m no biochemist, but a Bayesian analysis puts me well on the side of “this is a good idea.” I class it with other performance enhancers: creatine, caffeine, et cetera.

Everything boils down to best-guesses made on inadequate data: “natural” is inter-tribal warfare, cannibalism, and shivering all winter. The scienticians often fail to use the precautionary principle – doing something just because they can, without asking whether they should. Sometimes they’re going to create wonders; other times they’re going to create Frankensteins (GMOs could be, may be, a wonderful technology, but Monsanto only asks “Can we make a profit?”). The rest of us have to make the best guesses we can with our limited time and resources.

Energy In vs Output: avoid women’s birth control piss in the water supply by drinking bottled water? A) the natural spring probably has the same piss in it, and B) for all I know the plastic bottle’s been leaching estrogenic compounds into the water when the truck was stopped in the hot sun, waiting at the border. Eat only organic? Have to work more hours (and besides, Monsanto’s taken over the organic food market, no idea if it’s organic, or Organic (TM)). Only buy 100% cotton shirts? Then I have to iron the things every morning. And I don’t even know if rayon does anything – or for that matter, what spraying corn-starch on clothing does.

I think TRT’s a pretty safe bet; but that’s only my two cents.
