Even if a guy doesn’t have to deal with all of these issues personally, they should not be taboo. From my experience/observation, it often takes an open, caring woman whom he trusts, either a romantic partner, friend, sister, or otherwise, to get a guy to really open up about these things, or get up the courage to see a doctor when needed.

I’m sorry that you’ve had to go through this. I hope you’ve found a safe place to talk about it!

They get smaller, softer. T score drops from 600 or 700 normal to 148. My doc asked for tests when I was 65 because: a) I was depressed
b) my ass went flat early
c) my belly was out there
d) talked and thought about sex but never did it; seldom wanked even

Now I shoot .6ml of Testosterone every Sat. in my thigh now and I’m back to normal. For every guy like me that knows he has low T, five more guys don’t know and have shame around this.

Fuck shame.
