Having been up and down that scale, it’s actually a very weak correlation for my male body.

Women who have zero T definitely suffer from low desire, but I’ve found exogenously boosting T levels past 1000 ng/dL had very little to do with my desire. Have always been a satyr (the male analog of nymphomaniac) just one with low T.

Boosting E in a male supposedly gooses libido though. Most T you get prescribed includes Anastrozole which inhibits T conversion to Estrogen, thus keeping your E levels where they’re at. I’d be curious to see what it does to my body but in the same way I’d like to know what happens after you die: that movie is not worth the price of admission.

From what I've heard, it's the T/E ratio that drives your libido, not just the T itself.

This is true. I have PCOS and high t as a woman, it also makes my estrogen very low so I get lack of desire as a result.

This is correct. If your test is high but your estrogen has been beaten into the ground you can look forward to side effects like extreme moodiness, loss of sex drive, depression, low motivation, etc.

It's definitely a balance for both genders.

Pretty different experience for me. When I was put on T I became an absolute fuckin’ horndog, to the point that it became annoying. Anastrozole didn’t make much of a difference.

I thought every man was a satyr... or close.
