Hmm I dunno then. Interestingly, there are actually a couple of drugs out there for women with low sexual desire if it bothers them in an attempt to help it. Idk how well they work and to my knowledge, I don't know if there are any for men. I mean, obviously there are erectile dysfunction meds for men, but I don't know that they impact desire.
That's interesting, usually from male perspective the only meds that get recommended are testosterone or yeah ED meds.
Sadly ED meds have no effect on desire, though those do give a nice pump in the gym. In addition to improved boners.
And I'm already on TRT in attempts to fix it. After dialing in the dosages and frequency, i was back in square one.
Though I'll most definitely take a look at drugs that are supposed to increase desire in women and how those are supposed to work.

That's useful, though second link is behind a user requirement, but it seems to be talking about prolactin and dopamine levels. Prolactin levels are within reference range, i did add those to the regular bloodwork just to be sure.
Though the meds on the first link are a new information, thank you.
Neither of those seem to be approved for use in men, that sucks. Once again have to turn to underground sources.
And that's the part that sucks, if you're a guy with libido issues it's only hormone therapy or ED meds, if those won't do anything then you're shit out of luck, just STFU and man up.
Though still thank you, I'll keep on digging.
