What people say about Testosterone and libido
“my proneness to rage and feelings of "righteous indignancy" (think *"how dare you!"* or anything pertaining to vengeful/personalizing thinking about social slights) have increased.”
“When on T, I noticed there's a time period when you start you may notice mood changes and acne... once leveled out... benefits of more energy, sex drive, and all around well being.”

What the research says
Conclusion: Despite historical beliefs that TTh increases the risk of CV disease, thromboembolic events, BPH, and PCa, recent evidence suggests that TTh conveys less risk than previously perceived. While caution should continue to be exercised, evidence suggests that TTh is a reasonable treatment option in many hypogonadal men who were previously excluded from TTh based on risk factors and prior health histories.
