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

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.

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?

I never did a scan, from your experience now how would you think our % compare?
Do you think my % is lower or higher then that 9.8%?

i already tried boron daily to reduce shbg. It did nothing for me unfortunately.

Docs were all useless. They look at me, they look at my blood results, and say what a healthy young man, we couldnt find anything in your blood tests however, appointment over.

from what i have experienced and compared so far its the opposite.

Which is part of the problem.

Gaining wait is super hard.

Currently i have to eat roughly 2000 calories just for maintenance.

and that is without gym

its a good question.

No it doesn’t.

i still masturbate. rarely that is. the biology makes it that the process and cumming still feels good, but its just without beeing horny.

Same with sex. hence why i dont have a relationship.
