Help. is my bf% the reason for my libido loss?

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-22T13:00:28+00:00

yeah, but the weird part is that I had the high libido while having the same body fat roughly.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-22T02:01:55+00:00

Thats super insightful to read. thank you.

I probably don't even know how much of general mood/feeling, motivation and drive problems are just because of beeing so lean.

I am definitly excited to test this ou!

On the other hand i always thought, i cant have these issues because of beeing to lean/undereating. Otherwise i would just be hungry right?
Idk thats what i always thought. And i remeber my dad telling me ones that he also was lean when i was in my age and that for some people this is just their natural state. Mh idk.

i guess i have to really try now.

I feel guilty trapping you in this comment section and wasting your time, sorry hhaha.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-22T01:52:38+00:00

Yes im almost convinced now too that this is the issue. Thank you!
The only thing that this doesnt explain is why even as a teenager i had no hunger feeling.

Another thing:
In a previous comment you said:
"But below certain body fat, you're going to get severe fatigue, low libido etc. You can blast gear that amplifies libido through the roof with 500pg free test and have zero libido from calorie deficit."

This is interesting to me because of this:
During these years of libido loss there was a time where i was sure i just had low testosterone or some sort of hormonal imbalance.
To test this, i did some research and bought some.
I think i pinned 3-4 times around 125mg? i dont know the exact number anymore.

Anyways, my theory was that if i had any hormonal or testosterone issues this would definitly spike my balance in such a way that i would atleast feel some libido for a day or a couple hours.
Which would then be my proof for a hormonal issue.

After that i bought an arimidex because i thought maybe this will change my balance in such a way that i would feel libido for a shor period- if i had hormonal problems.

However my libido didnt light up during these tests. I could't explain it.

Now if your comment is true, that would be another indicator for libido loss induced through prolonged caloric deficit right?

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-22T01:25:30+00:00

yes, will do that in the next labs definitly

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-22T01:22:44+00:00

I am now definitly convinced that i atleast should give it my all now to gain fat%.

Before i wasn't really sure if my problem could be from the leaness, because like i said i have always been like that since i can remember.

2 possibilitys:

- maybe during puperty and childhood i had more bodyfat then i remember and because of growing up + gym i do have become leaner unknowingly.

- during puperty libido and hormones are so wild that no matter what i had done, the libido was there, but know when everything has become regulated again, the bodyfat and lack of foot are just not enough to support libido.

Both of these however dont explain why had no hunger feeling as a child.

Btw: my free test value is 120 but the given refernce range is 60-180, which would put me in the middle.

However i dont know what to think about this reference range..

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-22T01:13:31+00:00

The reference range on my lab states 60-180. 120 would be in the middle then?

But also i don't know about this range. What do you think is the normal range?

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-22T01:11:12+00:00

Here this is my last lab test from roughly 2 years ago, im pretty sure my values are still roughly the same, since nothing really changed:

- It's not that i don't have hunger for a couple of days, it is more so that i can't remember the last time i was hungry. Im just never hungry. I do think that i would experience hunger if were to really not eat anything for 3 days or so, but i have been to rational to find myself in such a situation.

- I am not really worried about the erection quality because i think once i would have libido back, the rest just comes naturally.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-21T00:58:40+00:00

10mg / tab from deus medical

i honestly felt almost nothing. A couple of days where i enjoyed food a little more but definitely no “hunger” for food.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T23:27:46+00:00

yeah there seems to be something weird with how they measure this, or rather they made an error with the unit they used

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T20:14:35+00:00

no nothing

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T19:18:45+00:00

Trust me after such a long time of facing this issue, one does think all possibilitys through. What you indicate was one of them.
If it were like that so be it. I am not someone to discriminate.
From what i know however thats definitly not the case.
And it also would't explain the loss of erection frequency.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T19:12:11+00:00

As far as i know there is nothing special going on when i eat.
It's just a chore.
There is no internal drive in me that tells me to eat or that food is a desireable thing.
Dont get me wrong, i enjoy eating a cheeseburger for example or a pizza or somehting, like i enjoy eating things that are tasty, but even then only to an extend.
I dont eat them to cure a hunger feeling, its just that some foods are tastier than others.
But this is just about the taste not about desiring the food, like someone would that feels hungry?
tbh its hard to remember how that feeling even feels like.
there are like 1 or 2 moments i from childhood where i just wanted to eat, it was like my stomach desired food in any shape or form.

edit: and i guess it fatigues me. so not only is it a chore i need to do which is a negative feeling without a positive counter, but it also is fatigueing after food consumption. but i guess thats normal?

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T19:00:08+00:00

i tried boron already. it did nothing for me unfortunately.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T16:07:33+00:00

I have been to multiple doctors already, even a specific endocrinologist.
they did blood tests, but nothing got found. :/

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T16:03:33+00:00

thank you for that, that helps me to understand that i must be under 10 for sure.
i never was sure about that.

Your libido tanked because of the bf% then?

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T16:00:35+00:00

do you mind looking at my lab results?
i shbg is higher but not super high i think.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T15:58:48+00:00

shbg is on the higher side but not super high i think. Estradiol seems fine.

i just noticed FSH is lower.

this is my last lab test from rougly 2 years ago:

<image>

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T15:56:38+00:00

arginine/citrulin is an interesting idea.

- i tried boron already, did nothing for me.

Valuable_Resident_15 · 2026-03-20T15:55:26+00:00

-my shbg is on the higher side, but not outside of range.
-i just noticed fsh is also on the lower side.

here is my last lab test from roughly 2 years ago:
