I have concluded the complete opposite. The negative effects of testosterone are exaggerated (I have concluded) and since natural testosterone falls by 1% a year, you need some to keep your energy levels up. Maybe I will be proven wrong, but the data is a but sketchy and not enough studies have been done. For now I err on the side of quality vs quantity. And in the long run I could be proven wrong.

Good insight nottyboi. Thanks.
I considered it for the same reasons of keeping my life "drive" (not just sexual) up. But apparently, my natural testosterone levels are fine and the specialist advised against ME using it.

When they look at your natural T level, it is a pretty wide range that is considered "normal" and it is always measured relative to your age group, so I decided that was useless info. Since I travel overseas Androgel is available OTC and I tried it. So far I kinda like it and do stop regularly to boost natural T production as well as to reevaluate if it is effective.
I knew a woman in a similar situation who started to take testosterone supplementation and it caused her to grow hair on her chest, stomach and right down to her balls.
•At lower doses, marijuana may enhance sex. People report that their awareness of touch is heightened, and their perception of time can change. So things "feel" better, and sex seems to go on longer as well.
•In another study, 75 percent of men said that marijuana increased sexual pleasure and satisfaction, 68 percent reported that it enhanced their orgasm, and 39 percent found that it increased the duration of intercourse.
The Bottom Line: While we don’t know why marijuana has positive effects on sexual satisfaction in men and women, research and anecdotal evidence consistently show that in small doses, there are perceived positive effects.
•In higher doses, marijuana can have a depressing effect, which can leave you without the energy to want sex, or the awareness of the way sex is feeling.
•Some research has found a relationship between long-term use of marijuana is associated with increased erectile dysfunction.
•Research has suggested that marijuana use is related to a reduction in testosterone. While this may raise some concerns, other researchers point out that the reduction seems reversible
Bottom Line: Using marijuana more regularly or habitually is related in men to increased risk of erectile dysfunction, and in men and women it may be linked to overall reduced interest in sex. Marijuana, in higher doses, has detrimental effects on fertility and even in smaller doses can have negative impacts during pregnancy for the fetus.
