Marijuana and Libido?

is there a specific time of the day i should check my temperature? I read in your sticky that thyroid hormones cause body temp to fall at night

Can you get your fsh levels checked? Or give me more details on what you’ve done to bring your libido back up? Did anything work?

From heavy weed use to a body that has no THC in it takes 3 months.
That could be an issue but not a common one. But it sounds like you are heavy into porn. There are a lot of studies showing a direct link to porn use and a limp dick in young men.

The stimulation is very heavy and you do not need a full erection to get off. If you want to read the studies, ask and I will post links

It sounds like you need to stop masturbating and watching porn. According to those studies it could take you a while to go back to normal. But you will go back to normal if you stop watching porn and masturbating. The weed certainty is not helping.

Also you need to get your confidence back up with woman. Get yourself some Viagra until you are back to your old self. Only cum with a real woman for a while.

I think you should post your complete blood work. Your LH, Free T and Total T could be in normal range according to doctor but it would be really low for a person of your age.
Maybe you can try restart .

thanks Verne, I don’t mean to bother you but if you could post the links, maybe I’d learn more about how to reverse this and rehabilitate myself.

I know I’m a mess, and this condition has only worsened my habits, its a vicious cycle. I have not watched porn in months, and have cut down my weed smoking and will quit completely soon.

I am still trying to get the masturbation under control too.

@sonudv8 I have tried a restart, it didn’t work.

I also tried a locally available version of viagra, while it did NOT give me rock hard erections, i did feel much hornier for the entire day.

I have plenty of opportunities to speak to and sleep with women, the only reason i dont is because im afraid of getting embarrassed due to my ED

I will take my oral temp once someone tells me whether i need to check it as a specific time of the day?

Will also do all labs again next week, once I’ve been sober and havent masturbated for 10 days

Here’s a link to a good article on how to deal with the problem. I will give you the actual case studies when I get home and look them up.

The fact that Viagra is not giving you a fully hard erection would leave me to be a little bit concerned about your circulation. It could just be a lack of stimulation. I mean it’s hard to keep up with sadomasochistic porn, 15 women and an extremely stronge rough calloused hand. no girl can compete with all that

That said have your blood pleasure checked your heart checked. If a product that increases the circulation to your extremities is not doing the job.you could have more serious issues. That lack of circulation could easily be everywhere and not mental

I learned a little bit about ED meds before I went on testosteron, thank God. I now think of them as a party drug. I need extremely low doses even for that. Every one of the ED medications out there come in several strengths. the maximum strength for Viagra is 100 mg. Anything between 25 and 100 will work depending on you. But if you’re taking a 50 mg pill and getting semi hard take a 100 mg pill. I personally think it’s very important for you to get your confidence back. so if you can get your hands on an injectable product called Trimix get it. I’m told it’s actually what the porn stars use. inject in penis rockhard instantly lasts one half hour per injection. Yes that sounds horrible but it’s important to get your head back on right. Get a good girl and this will all go so much easier but it’s so much easier to get a good girl if you can perform normally in bed

thanks fam, i appreciate it.

I woke up at 4.30am today, from 7am to 9am I had an intense workout. At 10.30am, on an empty stomach, my oral mouth temperature is 98.7

Any chance of thyroid issues?

Im getting my bloodwork done this week and have an appointment with a hormone specialist in 20 days

Note that I am asking for two temperature readings per day, to catch the low and high temperatures.

Please read the stickies found here: About the T Replacement Category - #2 by KSman

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

Temperatures are still at 98.2 upon waking up and about the same at afternoon.

Did all my blood work again, even got thyroid tested this time.

Follicular Stimlating Hormone (FSH) : * 0.92 mIU/ml (Referance Range - 0.95 - 11.95)

Total Testosterone : 503.81 ng/dl (Referance Range - 47.01 - 980.56)

Leutinizing Hormone (LH) : 3.25 mIU/ml (Range - 0.57 - 12.07)

Oestradiol (E2) levels : 28 pg/ml (Range - 11 - 44)

Free Testosterone : 7.60 pg/ml (Range - 3.84 - 34.17)

Di Hydrotestosterone : 660 pg/ml (Range - 250 to 990)

Thyroids
Total T3 (Tri-iodothyronine) : 105.15 ng/dl (Range - 58 - 159)

Total T4 (Thyroxine) : 5.14 ug/dl (Range - 4.51 - 11.66)

Ultrasensitive TSH : 3.158 uIU/ml (Range - 0.35 - 4.94)

What do i do now? This seems like secondary hypogonadism to me. Do i need to worry?

What time did you get the blood test? How often do you drink alcohol? Did you drink the night before the blood test? Do you take opiates? Regularly for pain, or recreational?

hey guys i went to the endo and she asked me to do the brain MRI , this is the report, i seem to be fully healthy and functional, i guess?

I’m going to show the doc my reports in a few days, but im really worried so i could use some input from you guys about this…

Thought I’d give you guys an update.

Marijuana does, in some individuals, supress production of certain hormones, including but not limited to FSH.

I am now 6 months sober, been training a lot harder, and more consistently and have seen my libido return.

I hope this information can be useful to some of you, especially the younger generation in the future. Lesson learnt.

Very well done staying off cannabis for 6 months!!

Are you going to get complete bloods done, again?

That’d be helpful to you & us as well. It’d be very interesting to see the hormonal effects of 6 months off cannabis.

yes, i will, soon.
It has been very recently that i have been able to get back to working out, staying off alcohol, etc.
as of today, i am 5 weeks sober from all substances, train 2-3x a week, no smoking, just work.

The only difficult part of my life is balancing work with hobbies and spending time with the family and girlfriend.
I have to work to eat, have to have some hobbies as it keeps me going and help maintaining sobriety, and obviously i cant neglect family. As a result there are many days when i sleep for just 4-6 hours and it keeps my energy levels a little low :frowning:

Hopefully in another month i shall be in much better shape, learn better balance, and will do bloodwork before i start a basic Test cycle

I heard sex on cocaine is a helluva a thing

You’re going to do a supra physiological amount of Test after all that work & patience? Don’t do it !

while i agree that it may seem unwise, pursuing bodybuilding is the only thing that has kept me going and has motivated me to get sober.

I’ve been into fitness since the age of 13 and its the only lifestyle i know.
When you take that away from me, and i dont have a goal that im passionate about, i feel lost and lose my path - and thats exactly what made me such a heavy stoner in the first place.

Its a vicious cycle. But im patient, i’ll take my time to fix my body and do it in the most safe and healthy way possible
