Test dose for sexual performance and feel-good factor

[strangegenericguy]

Trt dose puts my libido plenty high. Double trt dose + primo + var libido went way up for 3 or 4 weeks but then leveled off at a somewhat higher than trt level. Trt + 150mg mast has my libido quite high and it is staying high. It's honestly annoying 1/2 the time.

What do you feel on 1/2? Too low e2?

I regularly used cycles consisting of 500 to 1000 mg test alone or in combination with other AAS when I was younger and I was totally unprepared for the increase in libido.

I didn't think it could be higher at 500 but was increasingly insatiable with escalating dosage.

It was so distractingly incredible that if I had to do it over again knowing what I know now and had no interest in bodybuilding, I probably would have done it for the sexual performance aspects alone.

The effect was blunted in later cycles suggesting to me that there may have been other psychosocial factors at play too. As an example, moving from a small town with a couple hundred single females my age to a major university city with literally 10s of 1000s of young single women in their late teens / early 20s.

I don't think my experiences with AAS -- which have been overwhelmingly positive -- in general and specific to sex are representative of most AAS users based on what I've read on the forums over the years. Those desperately seeking answers to their problems generally won't find them in AAS.

You just summed up my experiences incredibly accurately. Being on cycle at a major university in my early 20s... just the perfect recipe for an insatiable libido. Well put. Not the same when you're 37 in a town of 2000 people with kids and a career. I don't know if I could ever achieve that level of libido these days, regardless of the compound stack. I wouldn't mind trying though, especially if I could do it somewhat responsibly on low to moderate dosages of safer compounds.

I’m tapering down from 350 to 250 to come off and to help prevent an acne/estrogenic sides flare up as I come off. I was at 2200 tt trough with 350. It’s been good but oftentimes sleep has been hard. At 250 with a little bit of AI my libido is still fantastic and I sleep way better. Honestly makes me tempted to try this lower dose cycle in the future. If I ever got to steady state with 250 I’d probably be at 1500 ish. I can definitely see why 250 or so is “sports trt” and best for athletes and athletic types. Around 250 is probably what all the MMA fighters and soccer players use

Do you think the difference in sleep quality was due to elevated test or elevated estrogen. When I went from 200 to 350. I wake up at 230-330 and can’t fall back asleep
