Posts: 21Prostate Cancer
Regarding this topic. Just ignore thoughts of hereditary / not hereditary. ALL men will get prostate cancer if you live long enough. Insist on getting your PSA test once a year from 40 or 45+ even if the doctor doesn't order it. This will allow you to begin identifying and tracking your baseline level and notice if / when there is an increase. If detected early enough, prostate cancer is much less a bigger deal than it used to be. Worst case you have your prostate removed before the cancer spreads but you'll still be able to have sex / experience orgasms and more importantly, you'll still be alive.

SHBG is a protein in your blood that controls how much testosterone is available in your blood for your body to use--the Testosterone the SHBG keeps your body does not use.
Free Testosterone is what your body uses to do neat things like influence and maintain your sex drive, and other things we really don't need to go into. Free Testosterone is what what really matters, because your body, via SHBG, holds back most of your testosterone. How much does it hold back? Anywhere from 60 to 80% is held back--That's right, your body only really uses up 20 to 40% of what your balls make.
BTW, if you total up Free Testosterone with the Testosterone the SHBG holds, you get Total Test. (Which is the number your health insurance looks at to see if they will cover you or not).
With that all said, taking clomid or nolvadex messes with your SHBG by making it holding back more Testosterone. Everyone is different, so there's no real set number to where it should be. Basic rule is it's bad if it's either too high or too low.
Also, you have to remember that men make Estrogen from Testosterone, via the Aromatase in our Fat cells. So if you're not producing enough Testosterone, taking Clomid and raising your SHBG will hold back the little Free T you already have. Plus we still need Estrogen in order to have a good Sex Drive--binding your Estrogen receptors will do you no good.
You have really two routes to take:
1). Maximize your natural T production by living / eating clean and being physically active--though if you're really advanced in years, you can't really do much since Testosterone production declines with age for most men.
2) Do TRT. I have been doing TRT for about 4 years now. Never looked back. Keep in mind that it's a lifetime therapy, but you can quit and go back to natural production. Risks do apply.

I can go 3 or 4 pops straight. Providers don't like it but the regular random women I meet are amazed at how hard and how many times I can go.

An enlarged prostate doesn't necessarily indicate the presence of cancer. I've had an enlarged prostate since my mid-20's. I do get a PSA test each year as a precaution.
You mentioned "... getting T shots to make your boner harder." Is this a reference to Trimix injections? If so, I'm curious as to what evidence there is that these are harmful. Trimix will give one a rock-hard raging hard-on for up to 4 hours.

It seems like with all the fucking we're doing (or trying to do), everybody would be paying attention to the one thing that could really cut your dick off. Not in a literal sense, but certainly be an end to an aggressive sexual lifestyle.
Guys also don't like to talk. Certainly not about stuff like this. Big mistake.
Family member who died, ignored all the signs and symptoms. I'm sure at some point he HAD to know but didn't want to face up to it. Finally had to get taken to the ER are are one night when he could no longer take a piss naturally. His prostrate was so huge. In less than 30 days, he was dead. His body had become so overwhelmed by the aggressive cancer that started in his prostrate. Soon, all his other organs were infected by cancer, right up through his spine, too. By the time doctors (at the E / R) took time to look at him, it was all too late.
How can you ignore this?
If you're in your mid to late 40's, go see a urologist, have the talk. Guys also think, "Well it's hereditary. My dad never had it. So I'm good. " My response is, "How do you know?" As I said, guys don't talk about this. Certainly men from the last generation are even less prone to say something. Don't trust what you 'think' is good or safe. Go and speak directly to a doctor who knows better than you.
Finally, those guys getting T shots to make your boner harder; there's evidence that makes this issue even worse than it might already be. You can increase the risk level if you're already inclined this way. So make your choices carefully.
Good luck bros. Stay healthy and hang on tight to your junk. It's the only set you'll ever own.

Posts: 1158TRT, clomid, nolvadex
Wondering if anyone had any experience with testosterone replacement therapy, specifically injectable test and the drugs they usually prescribe for uptake (clomid, nolvadex).
It's also my understanding that Clomid and Nolvadex binds to the estrogen receptors and allows the body to create more natural testosterone so it's an option for "natural" production. I was wondering if anyone had experience with just taking just both or either of them, with no additional test supplementation.
I'm interested in fucking harder and longer, and finally building that muscle I can't at the gym without additional test.

Posts: 505Cialis / viagra for 2nd pop?
Kinda double posting this. I think think this was more for STD. Thought I'd ask here also though.
I'm having some issues with 2nd pop. If I go see a gf in the morning, but at night I lack the energy for pop 2. Was thinking a blue bill like before I go to bed.
Thoughts?

Posts: 279Condoms
I'm a strange dad that I buy my sons their condoms to make sure they keep it safe and responsible.
I'm wondering if my other fellow mongers have the same doctrine with your adult kids?
Or is supplying condoms for your children considered taboo?

I've only BBCIP with providers I've known for a LONG time. Still a ton of risk. #1 its there profession. #2 if I'm a regular, someone else is. But if she didn't openly offer it on my first 3 visits, I feel safer taking the risk. One provider only allowed me after visit 10+. She said she was ok with it, because she knew I only fucked my wife and her (at the time it was true).
If I'm out at a bar, club, vegas, random freebie -- usually I'm too drunk / high to have good judgement. But for me, it's still safer then a working girl who's KNOWN to BBCIP. I know a BBBJ can me something too, I guess I've just been lucky so far.
I don't seen guys willing to openly say they got it from this girl / that girl. People today won't even tell you they got Covid. Hell, imagine fake posts, haters of popular girls putting up fake / bad reviews already. Just my 2 cents, be safe boys!

So, it seems like it should be permissible to post if you got an STD and the places you visited and went bare. That way the providers could get tested but also anyone else that visited there could get tested.
