Testosterone test done and I need help!

[CUSP82]

Okay boy time to get your beating. You have no idea about T and what high and low means, what being in the range of normal means or anything like that. You're in the normal range so what don't you get about that? My T level is lower than yours, I'm much older and I was screwing for an hour last night! ( no really I was; just my normal superman self) But anyway;

Something got into your head and it's messed up. If you were my son I'd smack the crap out of you to knock some sense into your head. You brain, your thought, your anxiety, your oh 80% of this when it used to be 95% of that has got you so screwed up that's why you're here. You have forgotten how to be a young guy and go out and have fun. Who knows maybe you're just a wack job; but maybe not. Forget T levels or 85% of this or 95% of that. Go out, be young, have fun, stop thinking about your dick, stop moping; get your brain right. The cure is all in you head just like the problem is.
My friend Wishful, far more diplomatic than I am, said to go talk to someone to help you mentally. Great idea if you can't do it yourself. I like beatings myself. I think you can.
Look next time it rains hard where you live, take off your shoes and socks, roll your pants up a bit, and go out and dance in a puddle or two just like when you were a kid. When you do that and experience the joy of being a child all over again you'll be fine. If not I can always beat you!

Thank you for your advices. I went to psychologist when I was a little kid because my father was killed with a gun so I and my mother was depressed. They know nothing. At that time I was aware of they are just trying to get money so I have no trust for them...

Or maybe because I feel it is more physical than psychological and don't want to waste money I don't know.

I was extremely anxious about being prisoned because of a fight I had and even that time I was a real hard sex drive.

Now, in an adaptation process to my new job as a teacher in a government school, I don't know why this anxiety lead me to this.

I don't want to masturbate, I was masturbating every two days because of a strong will in me. I don't have this now. I am doing it in order to be sure that my dick isn't dead.
I was reaching erected situation in 20 seconds now it is 2 minutes.

I am swimming and making gym properly. Now I went out to chill but I am scared to have disfunction in early day. My friends are trying to flirt with girls and I don't want, so this makes me stressed and I don't want to see my friends because of this. I am comparing myself with them because of my low libido.

 

[Pegasus]

Wow what a clear case of anxiety.

 

[corageon]

I want to tell my story. I was very anxious because of my new job and adaptation and at that time I feel that I don't want sex and tried to check myself with a woman.
And failed in second erection with a woman whom I don't love and it was just oral sex.

And so begins the worrying and stress, you just described your problem , perhaps without consciously understanding what you are perpetuating.

I went to urologist and checked my blood and my testosterone was 620 and doctor said I have no problem. At that time I was not getting morning wood.

620 ng/dl is normal and is not low at all.

Is my hormone too bad to take Testosterone Replacement Therapy or am I going to get it sooner or later because of being 520 in this age?

No Doctor is going to recommend nor prescribe you TRT when your T Levels ARE NOT LOW!! Besides, you'd just be shutting yourself down and making any perceived or real issue worse!

I checked myself again (1 week ago) by going to a doctor and my testosterone level was 520 and doctor said it is ok but another doctor said that it is some below the normal for my age and he said that late stimulation and being limp early all because of having low testosterone.

Testosterone levels fluctuate, especially so when you are literally worrying yourself into a panic over a number that was already normal!

After this, I got depressed and felt extreme anxiety and low libido. I checked myself everyday by masturbation and always succeed to have erection and ejaculation.

And you don't think by "checking" yourself you are shoving your brain into a further stressed state?

I don't want to masturbate, I was masturbating every two days because of a strong will in me. I don't have this now. I am doing it in order to be sure that my dick isn't dead.

This is obsessive-compulsive rumination; and it is consistently a problem with many people who have nothing better to do with their time...you are in shape, and you are obsessively thinking about how 'shitty' and horrible things are, supposedly, and then about your 'failures' which are at least, in part, already rooted in an underlying anxiety issue - most probably one that is self-perpetuated...you need to get your mind away and do things like work, work out, enjoy life a little bit...if you are asking for a magic pill, TRT is not it and all other methods or supplements are unlikely to give you any 'benefit' when you refuse to cease your profuse and unwarranted worrying.

Thank you for all your recommends and your struggle to help me. Thank you, everyone ...

I think I don't have erectile dysfunction but I think I lost my EQ. When I change my posture to stand up position, it is slowly or sometimes fast, fading away.

If I try to mast.when I stand up from the beginning, it is being a little soft (%75-80).

If I sit down, it is %90. Doctor said you have no venous leak without a Doppler test.

And today, I couldn't sleep well because of caffeine intake and I couldn't get a morning wood. I hope the main cause is this.
So, my mind says to me "you didn't get wood and you should check it".
I know this is obsessive compulsive but someone who has real physical problem are also making this. The difference is I am not failing.

I want to rescue, I want my libido back.

This performance anxiety happened to me maybe I haven't lived a real sex for 2 years and I lost my self confidence. but in 2014 August I know I had a good libido. This happened to me this year.

When I go out with my friends, I see girls and I don't want to care with them and this is disturbing me.

I want to summerize, when I get close to a girl, I get erection but it is not as hard as before, I don't feel the pressure of the blood rushing to my penis.

It is same in morning wood, I was not getting it (which made me obsessive) now I get it for one month but it is not a rager.

Also, having sex is not a thing that I am craving and this makes me fear

My friends say they are ejaculating at least three times (and I was doing same before this) now I don't know whether I have such performance or not.


And I want to ask do you think I have a minor venous leakage because of having problem on stand up position? Doctor said no but I don't trust he didn't listened to me well

Your testosterone levels are definitely not low, not even marginally. My T levels on the past two blood tests have been 199 and 300, which I was also told were normal my a general practitioner, but then later told they were very low by a trained urologist. Testosterone is linked to morning wood, I get very little. Though once recently I was with a girl that I really liked all day, for some reason, I woke up with a rock hard morning wood that day which was a month or two ago. It was the only time in years I can remember it happening like that. Given I also took Horny Goat Weed, but still, that doesn't usually happen.

So I definitely believe that morning wood is partially psychological, in the sense if you are stressing it will effect your morning wood, as well as being linked to testosterone and other things.

The brain can be very tricky at your sexual performance.

I definitely agree with you. When I was not getting morning wood I was really crazy anxious. When I let it be and accept the situation, it came back. But not wood hard because when I wake up and stand up it is tend to fade away.

 

[CUSP82]

When you wake up your brain wakes up too and bye bye erection!

 

[Redline92]

This is the main logic behind it, I agree. But now I am 23 and when I was 20 or 21 I was not able to stand up in case my mother or brother see my situation

 

[Redline92]

The thing that changed I was trying to make it flaccid 2 years ago but now when I see it hard I am being happy ...

So confused..

 

[corageon]

Exactly, and for those with anxiety - usually are flooded with countless feelings of guilt and worry soon after waking ...what do they do when they wake up? Go for a walk? Work? Meditate? No way! It's usually something a little like.
1.) Watch TV
2.) Worry
3.) Do 20 pushups
4.) Worry
5.) Stress
6.) Create more Stress
7.) Bathe in it.
8.) Restart cycle
9.) Not stop to see.
10.) Here we go again.

Oh now you show up Cor!

You are right, Corageon. But I played tennis for 3 months and I did it everyday with my friends by combining talking, joking etc
well, it worked, at least it made me less worried and bring my morning woods back. But nothing with my libido.

I think my libido is there because of performance anxiety or something hormonal.

Performance anxiety is *primarily* based on two things though.
1.) You overthinking your performance and not enjoying the moment; even if you are a 'thinker' every true thinker knows there is a time to switch off of that mode and just engage in enjoying the moment.
2.) You are not with the right girl and / or she is not a very comforting or pleasurable person.

I say the second part as sort of a universal token, because even the most masculine and fierce looking people can be disgusted with a woman's attitude proceeding the person to lessen their thinking of sexual urges and instead want to choke the sh*t outta the girl! So it is not always about your sex drive but rather the type of girl you are with etc

 

[Redline92]

I broke up with the girl that I lived such situations because she was a dictator.

Now, for one month I am with a girl who has a profession on psychology.
But I didn't mention such things with her. I hope I can regain my libido after having a successful sex with her.

Well that relationship certainly did not serve you well , hopefully the new gal is a bit more balanced.
I will say this - you need to develop a sort of immunity to these issues you are encountering, not in a dark, unscrupulous way, but build character and personality within yourself...then you might find yourself more confident and less scarred by the stress that you seem to encounter (or encounters you).

Just the number of total testosterone doesnt say much. The whole HPTA is very complex. For your libido what really matters is your free testosterone and dht conversion. You can have 1000 of total test. but if your SHBG, E1, E2, are high, your libido will be dead. On the other hand you can have 400 total test, but with a low SHBG E1, E2, your libido will be high. That's the general idea, but you also have progesterone, pregnenolone, DHEA, Estradiol, TSH, FSH, LH, and production of T3 and T4 that also contributes to the whole equation.

Thank you, urologists only interested in your total test. maybe that is why many problem remaining unsolved.

I will check these hormones up after one week of having a good diet and sleep.

 

[corageon]

Yes and no. You need free testosterone and definitely DHT, but it's also about the exact ratio of testosterone and DHT: E2. There are guys with CRAZY amounts of DHT and have no libido, but of course these cases are rare.

You can have 1000 of total test. but if your SHBG, E1, E2, are high, your libido will be dead.

Yes, but depends on how "high" is high. I appreciate your concise tone though.

On the other hand you can have 400 total test, but with a low SHBG E1, E2, your libido will be high. That's the general idea, but you also have progesterone, pregnenolone, DHEA, Estradiol, TSH, FSH, LH, and production of T3 and T4 that also contributes to the whole equation.

As long as those values for E1,E2 are not deficient or totally in the gutter, yes; a low-normal value can be beneficial. I'm not trying to pick on you or anything, just make sure when you say "low" in the context of advantageous or beneficial that you state "low-normal" so OP and those with sensitive minds don't get the instinct to obliterate their E2 level with some chemical they have no idea how it works.
