Recently on Joe Rogan podcast he was talking to some doctor about how they are taking Shilajit off the global market. It will soon not be available in not only USA but other countries as well! Anybody try this Shilajit and what benefits did you see?

Thanks for all the input.

Appreciate it.

Keep safe & healthy.

Could be earwax. If you use Vitamin V a lot or other ED drugs, it might be that as well. (I think I read Hugh Hefner went deaf because of overuse of V.).

If it's earwax, best thing I've found is using Debrox (or other over the counter meds) to loosen the wax, then getting an ear wax irrigation kit from Amazon. The kit should be one of those kits with a spray bottle with a hose attachment to blast the wax kit of the ear.

If it is earwax, be prepared to be disgusted.

Another hi-tech choice out of China is Bebird. The Note 3 Pro Max is their showpiece. They also have a store on Amazon.

As usual, check the Youtube videos on the Note 3 Pro Max, but be prepared to be grossed out.

This may be off the subject, but has anyone had any success dealing with tinnitus?

OMG.

Thank you for being brave enough to share your story. It's incredibly educational and is the kind of shit women will talk about all the time but men never do.

Tell me, are these all Oahu-based doctors and hospitals you were dealing with?

Yes, all of this occurred on Oahu with the best doctors I could find on the island. No names because I don't think the individual people involved would have made much of a difference.

Admittedly, treatment for prostate cancer has improved dramatically over the years. However, as a prostate cancer survivor who has undergone radical prostatectomy (removal of the prostate) let me caution you that the surgical approach to this disease is not the "be all & end all answer that many in the medical community proclaim!!

I was initially diagnosed (via PSA testing and needle biopsy) in 2018. MRI scans and biopsies were "inconclusive", as are so many such diagnoses. After consultation with my urologist, I chose to take a "wait & see" approach. 2 years later, my urologist has retired. My PSA numbers are crazy high again. New urologist orders MRI and then needle biopsy again. After 24 shots of the needle biopsy, I swear to never go through that again! I let him persuade me to do the prostate removal surgery.

Prostate removal happens in April 2030 - robotic surgery. All goes well. Urologist is proud of nerve sparing & no evidence of lymph node involvement (got it in time). Awaiting pathology report on the nature and extent of the cancer to identify further treatment plan.

After a week of wearing a catheter and piss bag, I'm finally unhooked from the exterior plumbing fixtures. The urologist has the fucking balls to tell me that "you're probably cancer free now, but if I'd known that the pathology was going to come back like this, I wouldn't have done the surgery! Cancer was limited and slow growing. Would probably have been 10 -20 years before it caused a problem.

Almost 3 years later, I have no evidence of cancer. My life is not in danger from that monster at this time. But, I do have to worry about pissing the bed at night and I cannot maintain an erection long enough to achieve penetration no matter how much Viagra, Cialis or whatever I take (I just get heartburn & stuffy headed). Penile stimulation feels good and orgasm (of a sort) is possible. But my penis is measurably SHORTER than before the surgery (I didn't have a lot to work with before). The amount of manual stimulation needed to achieve an "orgasm" is far more than most women (wives, escorts, or massage girls) are willing to put forth. And, if I do manage to achieve an orgasm, the only load I'm going to drop is a load of piss. The prostate is the false that MAKES semen. If it is GONE you can't make cum anymore! There are a lot of girls out there who will enjoy getting a load of hot piss as the reward for a long and vigorous hand or blow job.

So, the bottom line is this. Do your homework!! Make sure you fully understand your options. Recognize that prostate cancer is a SLOW killer and that you don't have to make quick decisions. But, most of all, if you choose to take the surgical option, be sure that you understand the implication of the surgery.

I'm 73 and in otherwise good health. I would most likely NOT have died of prostate cancer had I not undergone the surgery. I wish now that I hadn't allowed it and had just continued to wait & watch for several more years.

Hindsight is always 20/20!

Anyone who needs to talk about this further is welcome to DM me for more info.

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.

Regarding your comment: "ALL men will get prostate cancer if you live long enough." That's pretty much what my urologist told me. Scary to think about it. I get a PSA test anually.

Also, I believe many think that if there is no family history of prostate cancer or any other type of life-threatning disease, they are good to go with no worries. Not so! Logically, cancer, or any other dreadful disease, has to initially start with someone in the family tree. Someone in the family tree has to be the first one to catch it. For example, I've had bladder and kidney cancer. No one else in my family tree has had this type of cancer. In this case, it starts with me.

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.

Before I start, you need to know what SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) is and what Free Testosterone is.

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.

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?

I am on test and tren, use the Bathmate, use either cialis or viagra.

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.

Resurrecting this post because I have recently had a family member pass away from Prostrate Cancer. I also found out yesterday that a friend on the mainland has been diagnosed with this as well. I've known this guy 10 years and he never once mentioned it at all.

Having Prostrate Cancer, or at least the early signs of this issue (it takes 'years' to develop), is a real thing. How guys can walk through life ignoring these symptoms, or being unaware, is beyond me. Especially if you're on this board. 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.

This is a very important issue. I think it should be noted that prostate cancer doesn't always exhibit symptoms, at least in the early stage. I've known a few people who didn't know they had prostate cancer until they underwent a routine PSA test during an annual physical.

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.

The American Cancer Society reports that the five-year survival rate for "localized" prostate cancer is above ninety-nine percent, but if the prostate cancer becomes "distant" (has spread to body parts such as the lungs, liver, or bones), the five-year survival rate drops to thirty-one percent. So early discovery is important.
