20 Y/O With Low Libido/ED

Thanks for all the input. A couple replies:

  1. I don’t think I’m around second-hand smoke much. I don’t hang out with people who smoke, so I’m probably not getting any more second-hand smoke than the next guy.

  2. My sleep schedule: go to bed around 1:30, wake up…used to be 11ish, now 10ish. I’ve been sleeping well.

  3. Tried zinc 50mg ed a few months back, didn’t see any effect. Should I take it concurrently with test?

  4. I haven’t worked out in awhile.

As for the test, I haven’t noticed nothing yet. I know I’m paranoid, but does it work like in an instant? Do you just wake up one day with a big boner? Feel so horny you wanna bang every hot chick that comes your way? (In some others’ words lol) I know you’d say I’m being impatient and it’s only been 6 days, but please reassure me…[/quote]

Hang in there.

Don’t mess with any store bought Zinc crap. Get the ZMA here. And yes, you should take it. Everyone should.

Only been 6 days bro. It may take up to 3 weeks. It will work, give it time.

Well, depending on how the injections work. (hopefully, they’ll work)

But you could try Alpha Male, or Rez-V to try to increase test and decrease E.

Store bought Zinc does not means its crap. Solgar Zinc lozenges are excellent, don’t make generalisations.

The issue is taking it with stuff that would hinder absorption. But, the ZMA here is cheap so its preferable.

Also take into account the first dosage your given may not be effective. Hopefully your doctor has allready planned follow up blood tests to see what levels that injection puts you at.

also anything to boost natural test production is a lost cause, anything an over the counter drug can do to boost production the stuff your doctor injected into your ass is doing much more to shut it down. This is hormone replacement therapy we are talking about not additional hormone therapy

I heard that zinc helps to prevent test from being converted to E2. So maybe it’d help even if we’re talking about HRT here? idk

I would say it is also diet. I had very similar problems due to insulin resistance brought about by excessive sugar consumption/hypoglycemia. Insulin plays a huge role in cell volume, blood flow. When I changed my diet (cutting out sugar), my whole body felt deflated, like I had sludge running through my veins. Imagine the exact opposite of a pump.

This may not seem entirely relevant to ED (at our age), but it is a major cause of ED in older men. It literally feels I found certain vasodilators helped me out a lot: arginine, niacin, magnesium and of course simple carbs for a temporary fix. Cell volumizers also helped creatine, glutamine, sodium. Also anything that helped insulin’s action: chromium, zinc.

This was my situation, it may not be the same in your case. It may be something to consider though. I have no idea what
my T levels are, but I do know I relied heavily on insulin for its immediate circulatory/psychological effects and it brought about these sort of problems. It’s also of note that this type of self-medicating with sugar (which is a very common problem) brings about all sorts of endocrine problems, which only add to the problem.

Shit man, reading over your post makes me think how bad my problem may be. I haven’t had morning wood since Clinton was President.

There are a whole slew of reasons why you should take both zinc and magnesium. Check out the ZMA thread.

Its always been my favorite supp here and is IMO the best bang for the buck. I’ll be taking it till Im dead.

I would NOT mess with any herb test boosters right now. Save your money, your already on test so you really don’t need it, and not only that, its important to see if the shots are working for you, not a herbal test booster. You won’t know whats working if you do both at the same time.

Shit.

I thought the test kicked in…my libido and erections were improving and peaked yesterday. But today I don’t feel much?? It went back to what it was except marginally better erections. I knew it was not right when I woke up with a semi-hard-on.

I suspect if the test even worked. I got good days like these (cycling). They at best disappeared on the fifth day.

I wanna chop off my dick, seriously.

I had another test shot 200mg Monday. But I haven’t seen no results whatsoever. In fact, my libido has been down to the rock bottom ever since the effect of the last shot (or of my OWN cycling) wore off.

I don’t know what to turn to. I can’t seem to figure out shit. Help me, bros!

I found 100mg test/cyp/week inconsistent, but sometimes libido sky rocketed, but transient. So don’t expect to be horny 24x7. I think that 200mg would temporatily put me through the roof. I think that your outlook is probably contributing to this. This may take time.

You might want to find and read the articles on soy and estrogens in the environment. Is there a lot of soy in your diet???

Dont do that. Seriously. I did it, and I regret it every 6 seconds.

Try Alpha Male.

Thanks bro. I’m glad I didn’t do it…

I got off exogenous test. As I did more research I realized that once you go HRT you have to stay on it for life. That would shut down your balls…which I don’t particularly like at 20. Herbal supps are probably the right choice.

I’ve been taking REZ-V/ZMA and am thinking whether to take Alpha Male or TRIBEX. What do you all think?

Well, give the REZ_V and ZMA a few weeks. If that doesnt work, then try Alpha Male.

I suggest getting bloodwork every month, or when you switch ‘methods’.

As in, if you try only ZMA and REZ_V, get tested, get your numbers. Then if that doesnt work, then use Alpha Male and give it 3 weeks, then get tested so you can always compare numbers so you’ll know what works and what doesnt.

Dude, if you can swing the cash, I would say give it a go on all three. ZMA/Alpha Male/REZ-V AND a fish oil. Chown down some major eggs every morning and steak for dinner(cholesterol).

Do that for 60 days straight, no breaks or cycles(except off alpha on weekend), no screwing around then get retested. I would be very curious to see your numbers.

^^^sounds good.

My suggestions:

  1. Working out

  2. Eating steak as much as you can(organic if you can get it)

  3. A good men’s multi-vitamin, I use NOW’s ADAM

  4. Lots of sex, almost every night before you go to bed. No girlfriend,…well do it yourself, and get some new porn, mags, and use your imagination as much as possible!

  5. Every weekend go to the beach and lay out in the sun. (Helps test, and small bikinis/hot women are better than Alpha Male sometimes…even better if you don’t have a girlfriend, seeing girls in basically underwear is a lifesaver, and working out will help your chances) Probably one of the most important suggestions actually!!

  6. Horny Goat Weed, I just found that a company Triple Leaf Tea makes 580mg Horny Goat Weed Tea bags. Tried it once and I’ve never been harder!! But more research will be done this weekend incase of placebo effect.

  7. As others said healthy fats, ZMA, TRIBEX/Alpha Male but these take time to kick in.

  8. Don’t get too worried about it, as it sounds like it’s about you and your boner, since I haven’t seen anything about a gf, I’m sure alittle female stimulation would make a BIG difference.

ZMA has helped me sleep somewhat better but my libido is still terrible. I’m going to give the Alpha Male/REZ/ZMA/fish oil stack a go when I’m about to run out of my current bottle of REZ-V if things don’t improve. Couple questions:

  1. I’m planning on taking Alpha Male 4 pills a day, 5 days a week and off on weekends. One bottle is gonna last a little over 3 weeks. Is that enough time to see if AM works for me?

  2. How much fish oil should I take ed?

Thanks

I would go back and find a new HRT doctor. Your dosing schedule sucked plus you didnt really wait long enough to see any positived changes. Also, you may have needed a higher dosage. Either that or ask the doc to give you training so you can administer yourself. Then you can give youself weekly injections. If you can afford it ask for androgel and give that a try.

Your levels suck. Alpha Male and TRIBEX only give a moderate increase in test levels. They could possibly help you get to the normal range but then you may have to use those for your whole life. Find a doctor who knows his shit and you will be alright.
