Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) A lot of questions occur on old man libido. Or libido in old men. As another post suggested, I just sprang free from a bad marriage. It is amazing what freedom means. Two weeks after separation, I had my testosterone checked. It has been very low (240) for several years. This time it came back at 340. What an improvement. I'm getting my mojo back. High stress, unhappiness, depression, and anger suck. They ruin a man's goals and ambitions. They have a serious effect on the mood, libido, and physical ability. We look for magic pills like viagra and cealis. They help, but eventually it can get worse. A downward spiral of emotions. I refuse to let anyone mess with my mood and happiness. I am getting healthier, thus my manhood is responding better. My confidence isn't great, but it is coming back too. I know from personal experience that it is difficult to get out of bad scenarios. I stuck around for over 10 years in misery because I had made commitments to [snip]. I'm not, and will not suggest it's easy to leave. I am trying to let guys know that their personal circumstances may be responsible for their abilities to enjoy life. Age is part of the equation, but stress, depression and unhappiness multiply the effect of age by a factor of 10 or greater.

Posted May 15, 2013 The topic is "Libido" and people usually want a "stronger" libido. At this point, I think I would take a pill to REDUCE the libido -- just less frustration with the wife. I wish you the best on your libidinous aspirations. I have no doubt that more testosterone would improve libido. For some of us, the thought of more is downright miserable. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 16, 2013 Great post, IMO. There are many men I fear that have concluded that if they have little interest in sex with the wife they have a problem to be treated with that little blue pill or something similar. To that extent 'relationship' problems are medicalized, along with many other things. While you are in a bad marriage it is hard to see what is going on with the emotions, stress, and aging. Easiest thing to do is to run to the doctor for some pills. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[edit - this is not the place to mention children, yours or anyone else's, in any context] It is well known that testosterone level will rise when you encounter different vagina.....no kidding....just ask Tiger Wood....when he was cheating on his ex,he was winning every tournament ....it is no coincidence ! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear you. At one point I even considered castration, preferably through chemistry. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
