I was just thinking about it and I think this concept also extends to the situation for those guys that were extremely oversexed and super high libido through their 20's, and then when they got into their 40's life didn't seem the same anymore as their libido's had ruled so much of their waking life when they were younger, that constant overwhelming urge has left a psychological desire to reexperience it within them, so that a mellower non-critical desire doesn't satisfy anymore and there is a craving deep within to recapture that overwhelming libido that they had experienced for so many years when they were younger....... the overpowering libido they had experienced was so addictive that life seems boring and empty without it
Forever, was reading through this entire post and found this. I think you have described me here. You wrote this a few years ago, but it's very insightful. I was a damn horndog sex addict in my 20's-30's. I could go all day, most any day on the drop of a hat. That "itch" was always there and feeding it became an addiction. I mastered the art of picking up women and sexing them. Many remain friends to this day. I remained this way until about the age of 40 and noticed a slight slowing, but figured it was just a lifestyle change back then. (not working out, not really taking care of myself) but I could still have regular sex, with the occasional ED issue, lower performance, etc. From 40-42, my libido died, erection were sporadic, I began using Viagra, Levitra and Cialis, often times all of them at once. Worked sometimes, not always. Was having sex for the girls, not myself. Having sex out of, "this is what I do, it's my habit" not really enjoying it. And that is what has lead me here today at 46. All labs normal, (you read my other post here) T at 500-ish, E at 15-ish, etc etc. Very low sex drive.
I really would like to know what is out there that can bump T besides Clomid or HCG, that will not kill sex drive and might even increase it. I long for the days of wanting sex and with a boner that came with just thinking about it.
