Yes, I would see a Doctor and have him take blood to see what your T count is and then prescribe whats best for you.\nI have used Androgel and have been told it is great I can't vouch for that. And also if you have a serious issue this is not the place for answers.  It appears that a lot of children or child like creatures respond about things they know nothing about. Which at times is very bad advice.

what do you want it to do? \n\nandrogel is a low level testosterone substitute - it will help you if your are testosterone deficient by improving your libido and your body composition - more lean mass\n\nit is not a particularly strong anabolic if you are looking to build muscles \n\nbut anaboilic steroids are dangerous \n\nif you are deficient it is low risk but all applied steroids can have side effects which include acne, bitch tits, liver and kidney problems, prostate problems, hair loss and testicular atrophy

Based on your reference quote, it seems to suggest that _any_ prenatal exposure of steroid based hormones increases male-typical behaviour. The fact that the post-natal effects of having a higher oestrogen concentration than testosterone has an "opposite" (female-typical) effect is a red herring.

it's nothing to do with having dirty hands and touching your face? Sometimes testosterone can increase ance so perhaps you are increasing this hormone?

I'd be the first one. I, like any guy, have hormones. Male hormones, to be specific. Testosterone does some really messed up stuff to your head. So I'm not going to lie, the second option sounds more FUN. But fun is only part of life. And no matter what anyone says, fun does NOT equal happiness. Happiness, for me, is finding a girl who I connect with, who I can enjoy simply spending time with. It's having a woman who can be my best friend, my wife, my confidant, my lover, and the woman I get wild and crazy with however we decide to. It's all things. And none of those things are ever surface deep. You can never find those happinesses with just any woman, no matter how attractive. As for honor, courage, humility, sensitivity, for me at least, these are things I tend to embrace naturally. Some people say I'm an old soul. I believe in honor and courage and treating others like a decent human being, and these are the things I try to adhere to in all that I do. So, to make a long rant short, I'm definitely the first option.

My first love was really thin and very bald - and I thought he was super hot. But he also had incredible confidence which probably made him so attractive. So there are plenty of women with tastes that don't obey mainstream media! You should turn off the TV, too, and work on developing your own talents.\nI'm 28 and I've dealt with depression & anxiety attacks since I was 11 and I am not a big fan of antidepressants (though I've seen them work for some). Last June I tried a super healthy diet called macrobiotics and for the first time in 17 yrs I spent over 2 weeks (now a full year) without depression. That diet is recommended for cancer patients and people who need to cleanse their body. I know it did wonders for my nervous system. It's a lot of work, but I'm now emotionally balanced & no longer so agoraphobic.\nAbout you trying to gain weight: I have to agree about getting your thyroid checked. Also you may have to resort to counting calories and adding 500 per day - try this calculator:\nhttp://www.hpathy.com/healthtools/calories-need.asp\nI would also recommend the book "Body for Life" - although I don't think their diet is good for the long term (my immune system suffered). The book has pix of thin guys that bulked up.\nIf you really want to get up from under, you can do it! Be kind to yourself :)\n\n(And coloryst may be onto something: I'm a Cancer & for 6 yrs I've lived w/ a Capricorn who used to be self-loathing.  We're now engaged & still crazy about each other - he's skinny, too).

Have your doc order some blood tests to get your testosterone levels checked.\n\nOnce a guy hits his mid 30's, the T level can go down significantly, to the point where libido, as well as other things that testosterone controls, goes to pot.\n\nIt's a starting point.

The best, no-side effects way to boost your testosterone is to use what you have naturally; Lifting weights and doing enough cardio. Don't use anything artificial or your mess yourself up and make your body stop producting testosterone altogether. Not feeling like you have enough is better than having none. Besides, if you don't have too much, your chances of not going bald are better.

ok man, we are gonna cut straight to the point here. Just change your mindset for a moment and bare with me. Ok, in order to build muscle you must apply basic fundamentals. No matter how complex you think it is, it is very, very simple. Let me explain. \n\nFirst off, in an additional study, researchers say that with an increase in testosterone in the average male, he could gain up to 17 pounds of muscle with no effort toward weightlifting. \n\nBut thats with anabolic steroids.  You dont really need those.You can naturally increase your testosterone, only up to your genetics maximum ability. For example, Johns dad Fred was a boxer, he was very built and strong, his mom just did lots of cardio and stayed slim. Most likely John will be a very fit and healthy young man. Because of his genetics, he has been gifted with a good potential capacity to easily build muscle because his genetic card that has been dealt. \n\nHis testosterone is naturally high. (i know youve seen them before) The ones who never look at a weight, is cut, has ripped abs and is swole like crazy (i know it sucks).\n\nFortunately, if you just apply these principles (they are free, just read it). Along with this website and use your head, you will realize how easy it is. To cut it short ill just say them \n\nA. Stimulation – Training (load, density, volume etc)\n\nB. Supply (nutrient and protein intake)\n\nC. Signaling (anabolic hormones, testosterone, insulin etc.)\n\nNow, you follow something simple, and then you get technical, i see your friend has a genetic card that was dealt poorly unfortunately. But he still can gain muscle to his maximum ability. And an average male can gain atleast up to 20 to 30 more pounds of mass regardless of his genetics. \n\nJust check out the website, you may be familiar with him. Hes a genius, his name is Kelly Bagget.

I do know that you might consider asking about 'the patch' ... it's generally easier to be more consistent with the hormone levels, but what the heck do I know.\n\nYou might ask about it.  You're doing the right thing.  Doesn't stress and stuff play a role too ?

unlikely - tribulus might slightly increase testosterone in men who are a bit low - thats unlikley you problem \n\ntrain yourself to control your ejaculation - there are lots of good techniques for this\n\neven just slowling your breathing into a nice deep ryhthm will help as will remobing your mind a little from the sensation

Get a thorough medical checkup to make sure it isn't gynaecomastia (man boobs caused by an imbalance of testosterone and estrogen levels).  Interestingly increase in estrogen levels can be caused by use of marijuana, steroids, antidepressants, heroin or wife/ girlfriend/ partner using estrogen creams (info from The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Diseases You Probably Already Have by Dennis Declaudio).\n\nIf this is not the case, your doctor may just recommend a balanced diet and physical exercise incorporating weights to develop your torso.

a few men do have this complaint" \n\nmost men have some areas with fewer whiskers \n\nmen of asian decent have very little facial hair \n\nin some but not all cases it can be related to low expression of testosterone but you will have other symptoms - low muscle mass, middle body fat, small testicles, low libido etc \n\nif you have any of these see an endocrinologist to get checked out \n\nif it is only a lack of facial hair - well hey  at least you dont have to shave every day - think how much time and money you will save!

The majority of the time, medical evaluation and lab tests will not reveal a physical cause. However, testosterone is the hormone responsible for creating sexual desire in both men and women. It may be useful to check testosterone levels, particularly in men who have ISD (inhibited Sexual Desire). Blood for such lab tests in men should be drawn before 10:00 a.m., when male hormone levels are at their highest. Interviews with a specialist in sex therapy are more likely to reveal possible causes.\n\nTreatment must be individualized to the factors that may be inhibiting sexual interest. Often, there may be several such factors. Some couples will need relationship enhancement work or marital therapy prior to focusing directly on enhancing sexual activity.\n\nDeclining sex is sometimes one of the few areas where someone who feels dominated can feel in control. Developing skills in conflict resolution can be helpful to work through differences in nonsexual areas as well as sexual.\n\nCommunication training in talking on a feeling level, showing empathic understanding, resolving differences in a manner that refers to emotions is also helpful. When problems with sexual arousal or performance are factors in decreasing libido, these sexual dysfunctions will need to be directly addressed.\n\nA new drug, Bremelanotide (formerly PT-141), has been shown to directly increase sexual desire in men as well as women. This compound is currently in clinical trials.\n\nThe preceding is for people who were sexually active at first, but later lost it.\n\nIf she was like that from the start, and only she can answer that, she may be an asexual.  That is what I am.  I pretended to be heterosexual for a very long time just to fit in.  The truth is that I never liked sex and I don't crave it.  I just pretended to be interested just to be like all the other guys.

Okay.....I'm not a guy but I was tempted to answer this question. Just wanted to tell ya you're beautiful in your own way. Just because you suffer from a medical condition doesn't make you any less beautiful than you are. You're fine and you shouldn't worry about it. Let a man appreciate you for YOU and not your body. Oh and to answer your question, I've asked this question to my guy friends many times, not that I'm overweight or anything but just out of curiosity. And they said, they would rather prefer meat over bones. I hope I've answered your question.

Males with higher testosterone (T4) usually have greater amounts of HDL (high density lipoproteins), which is the "good" cholesterol.  So, no, you'd actually want to increase/maintain T4 levels to have a good amount of HDL.
