Thanks. I mentioned this possibility to a doctor that I saw about a year ago, but he told me that since I had facial hair my testosterone was just fine. My sister who is a family doctor in another state thought that was hilarious.

Long story short, it seems that doctors are somewhat reluctant to prescribe testosterone, because many people simply want to enhance their love life. My sister told me that testosterone is actually very complicated, and the blood tests they typically perform aren't detailed enough to diagnose a deficiency.

But I should give it another try. Persistence is important.

Another issue is that I do not have a romantic partner, so I wonder if it's just as well that my sex drive is disappearing. It is just weird to be so disconnected. I can still have an erection, but I no longer have any excitement from looking at pretty women on the internet. I feel disconnected.
