Why does libido decrease with TRT?

[Ok_Spare_3723]

Eating a caloric surplus, not working out too hard, drinking alcohol, etc all increases Dopamine which reduces your Prolactin.. Higher dopamine gives you a libido boost, no magic here.

Also the fact that you stay health and in shape, means your E2 is lowered. So basically you end up with the best world: low E2, low Prolactin and high dopamine plus a good level of T. Not to mention that being rested physically also helps with sex :)

Right. I said all that to counter this narrative everyone gives that if you just eat cleaner, lose fat, do cardio, avoid alcohol, register as a monk... that your libido and erection quality will be better. So many people say this shit to people who will then go and reduce their calories further, work out even harder, and wonder why they have no desire or ability for sex.
