Testim gel applied to scrotum (?)

[biceps72]

Would an option be to apply a smaller dose to the scrotum, maybe a fourth of the tube?

I ONLY wipe my hands off up my thighs onto my scrotum after androgel application. I estimate I put 5-10% tops on my daily anfrogel dose on my balls. It burns but you grow to like it!! I am not stopping. By the same token I am not going to put 5 or 7.5 grams there everyday!!!!

Did it once, won't do it again. The pain was unbearable and my balls felt like they were on fire. Had some great sex though.

If scrotal skin can absorb forty times more than the shoulders and arms, then shouln`t a tube last forty times longer if applied to the scrotum only? I have used a fourth of a tube, the burning isn`t bad, lasted about 30 seconds.

Pussy.

Yeah, that.

Well not every day, but I might be tempted to once a week or so, I mean that is if I had the requisite surface area and all.

Sounds like a viable option to me if cost is an issue. The reason Big Pharma cautions against alternative application areas is that their clinical trials were focused on specific application sites. They have no quantitative data, no idea what happens if you use alternative sites. They have no basis for comment so they just cover their ass by explicitly advising against it.

I slap a pump (1.25 mg) on my coin purse once a week or so. I get quarterly DREs and PSA. Both have always been unremarkable in the 3+ years I've been on Androgel. Symptomatically, I went from pissing like a typical middle-aged 45 yo man pre-TRT with a spurt here, a spurt there, followed by an interminable dribble to post-TRT firehose volume. I piss like a racehorse and then I'm out of there. I not only fuck like I'm 18 yo again (well minus all of the initial clumsiness - at least that's what I tell myself) , I piss like I'm 18 too. I have no idea what my DHT is. My Doc and I have decided we will not bother to even test it unless I start to experience symptoms of BPH or have a remarkable DRE or PSA. Why would I want to know? What would I do with that information?

Ive been told that applying testim to the scotum will cause your testicles to shrink and provide no long term effects from useing testim.

Interesting. I think if you're going to put T on your junk it's a hell of a lot less painful to use cream - and put a small amount on the 'helmet', not the testicles. OTOH, I dont argue with success, even if it burns like a mofo.

Did you happen to do bloodwork for E2 before you went on TRT?

I'm about 2 1/2 or 3 weeks into using Testim 1% testosterone gel and thought I'd give it a try on my balls, so here is a very non-technical account of my experience...

I was prescribed Viagra for ED, but after my last blood test my Doctor noted that I had extremely low to what he described as almost non-existent testosterone levels he started me on Testim gel tubes. I had two reactions really, the first was unpleasant and the second more like a level reaction with all good side effects, but I didn't try the the scrotal application until the negative effects of the first week leveled off and went away.

Week one I felt pretty irritable and aggressive compared to my mild mannered self, or was I acting normal rather than too passive because of low-t? Anyhow it only lasted one day that was really bad, I skipped a day and that was the end of that that then and it gave me an extra tube on hand.

After that it's been great! I have more energy and my mood is good and energetic rather than irritable and aggressive. I tried it on my scrotum using that extra tube I had from the skipped day, but only used about a quarter of it there. The effect I got was very evident within about a half hour as I had a thicker than normal penis that, for the first time in years, was hard enough to penetrate both with my wife (after a good shower of course) easily. We were exhausted the next day

Two days later I tried it again (Friday night is our wild sex night, the rest of the week is anything goes but Friday is when we allow each other to do whatever we want), but also used a Viagra to see what would happen. I don't care what anyone says, that was the best sex I've ever had! We didn't go to bed until about 6am, I'm just starting to come back round, and we're both just smiling and giggling at each other today. So take it for what's it worth, that has been my experience minus the scientific or medical jaw.

Cannot understand why you did not invite me around, and you could have stayed up untill Monday morning.
