Higher levels of testosterone helps boost overall sexual drive or desire for sexual activity. TRT can improve erectile function, which in turn improves performance.
1. Your sex drive and libido might increase. It's common for people on testosterone GAHT to experience an increased sex drive while on T. Your libido might be extra high during the first two to three months of starting or restarting testosterone HRT.
Testosterone replacement therapy often gives positive result for erectile function. Testosterone replacement therapy can achieve the desired results, either by itself or in conjunction with medications for erectile dysfunction.
You might be thinking; higher sex drive, excess muscles, extra strength. However, that's not the case. While high testosterone levels in a man can sometimes result in increased muscle mass, it also brings with it a whole host of other side effects; acne, mood swings, stunted growth, and weight gain to name just a few.
MASTURBATION HAS BEEN blamed for a lot of things—a decrease in testosterone being one of them. As with so many myths about masturbation, this one's not true, either. There isn't evidence that masturbation or ejaculation causes a drop in testosterone. Masturbation probably doesn't increase testosterone, either.

Research has suggested that men with naturally high levels of testosterone are more drawn to women with typically feminine faces: women with smaller jaws, bigger eyes, and higher eyebrows.
The facts that high testosterone is correlated positively with PE and that men tend to ejaculate more quickly during intercourse than with other types of stimulation provide tantalizing clues in support of this idea. However, definitive evidence is yet to be produced, and even if it is, the problem is not solved.
Our answer to this is simple: you can stay on testosterone therapy for as long as you feel it is benefiting you. Below, we highlight some of the rationale behind this recommendation, and what makes TRT a safe therapy for use indefinitely.
It is recommended to take testosterone pills first thing in the morning and just before you go to bed at night. Taking testosterone pills at any other time might interfere with the dosing protocol and adversely affect its efficacy. They may accordingly take longer to produce the desired results.
Effects on sexual interest appear after 3 weeks plateauing at 6 weeks, with no further increments expected beyond. Changes in erections/ejaculations may require up to 6 months. Effects on quality of life manifest within 3–4 weeks, but maximum benefits take longer.
While you might not notice the effects immediately, you should start seeing a difference in your libido, energy levels, and mood within three to eight weeks [2].
You may need testosterone therapy (TT) if you have Low-T. Both the FDA and the AUA suggest that TT be used to treat conditions you are born with, such as Klinefelter syndrome. You also may need TT if you harm or lose your testicles. If your testicles are removed because of a sickness such as cancer, you may need TT.
When you stop taking testosterone boosters, your body returns to its pretreatment state. Many users report tiredness and weakness, loss of muscle mass, and fat increase. Reduced sex drive and hair loss are also common symptoms.
TRT is a life-long treatment. If you stop taking it, your testosterone levels will drop. Some men with low-T decide not to be treated. They may find other ways to increase their energy level, or they may decide to live with the changes in their sexual desire and body.
While high testosterone levels in a man can sometimes result in increased muscle mass, it also brings with it a whole host of other side effects; acne, mood swings, stunted growth, and weight gain to name just a few.
The short answer is there isn't a proven link between orgasms and testosterone levels, so we don't know how it affects you in the short term. However, you can take comfort in knowing that masturbating will not negatively affect your testosterone levels—or other aspects of your life—long-term.
Diagnosing high testosterone
A doctor may check for signs and symptoms of high testosterone, including acne and increased muscle mass. They will also ask about a person's libido and mood.
The first physical changes you will probably notice are that your skin will become a bit thicker and more oily. Your pores will become larger and there will be more oil production. You'll also notice that the odors of your sweat and urine will change and that you may sweat more overall.
Treating normal aging with testosterone therapy is not advisable. If you don't have a medical condition that's contributing to your decline in testosterone levels, your doctor might suggest natural ways to boost testosterone, such as losing weight and increasing muscle mass through resistance exercise.
Testosterone replacement is likely beneficial in healthy older subjects with significant hypogonadism. Testosterone replacement in individuals with borderline low or low-normal testosterone levels is yet to be proven effective and may not outweigh the risks.
Any prescription for Testosterone has to be for therapeutic purposes. Doctors prescribing is ultimately sanctioned by The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
Low testosterone levels in males can lead to erectile dysfunction. They can also affect sleep, mood, the size of the testicles, and more. In both males and females, low testosterone can lead to lower bone mass and reduced sex drive.
Be mindful of unknown risks of testosterone replacement therapy. Approach testosterone therapy with caution if you are at high risk for prostate cancer; have severe urinary symptoms from prostate enlargement; or have diagnosed heart disease, a previous heart attack, or multiple risk factors for heart problems.
