View Full Version : Libido
Didn't know where else to post this, I don't know what happened to me. Last 6-12 months I feel my libido has been in the tank. My labs are all good, including testosterone. I have raging morning wood. And I can get it up when I need to. If I'm in a situation where a woman might be the little spoon, I don't have spontaneous thoughts or erections. However if I conscoiusly make an effort to get hard, or she does something to help me, then I'll get erect.
Am I just getting older? I am maybe a little depressed and lonely, but I have been like this before without getting this loss of libido. That's part of the reason I have some leftover tad/silden. Just no reason to use what I was prescribed.
Anyone experience similar before?
Thanks.

Thanks.You're just getting older. I'm best in the morning and if I take it easy all day I'm good until early evening. Nothing late or after a drink or two these days.
How old are you?
How much do you weigh?
Do you have diabetes?I'm actually really healthy, no 6 pack, but close. Work out often, eat healthy. Just a smidge past 40.
Like I said, I can get it up no problem if an opportunity presents itself. But I don't really have desire to seek opportunities. Don't really have a desire to see porn either.
I'm single, so maybe it doesn't matter, but also if I do decide to get into a relationship, it could be bad.

1. Check for the 3 major gifts we acquire as we age. Your diabetes, cholesterol and BP.
2. Are you taking any anti depressants. SSRI?
3. Is your stress level high?
4. And do you smoke?
Anyone of the above could impact your libido.

2, no.
3. Stress was really high last year, when my libido was ok. But now the stress is a lot better, but feel the libido has dropped.
4. Don't smoke.
Going to start taking horny goat weed and some other stuff to boost libido and see. But don't want to be dependent on it.

I felt a drop in libido at about age 60. I understand that the end of spontaneous erections (from fleeting thoughts) ends around then. Before, I would say getting a boner was effective in making me think about sex, therefore better boners. Now, I can go days without getting aroused. I might go a long time without morning wood. I just schedule myself.
Other things I have discovered. I am finding citrulline seems to enhance / extend the effect I get from PDE5 inhibitors, so I am taking like a 500 mg cap the day before a date, and 2 the morning of a date. It helps produce arginine, that is the precursor of NO. And it does seem at times to just give me more spontaneous boners. Given these caps are a lot less expensive than the drugs, picking up a bog bottle at the vitamin store could be good. But I have heard some guys get no effect from citrulline.
You might take maybe a half of a sildenafil dose (50 mg), again, you'll get some spontaneous erections that will make you think of sex more.
Long ago, I did try some testosterone supplementing. The topical gel. I didn't like the effects, it makes the walnuts shrink. And I didn't see much of a difference in drive. YK, even eunuchs, who have no testosterone, can get boners / have sex.
Other things that increase testosterone naturally (and drive) include having sex, hanging out w / guys, etc. You can monitor this by your beard growth. It is stimulated by your T levels.

Wondering if anyone has tried PT-141 and would be willing to share their experience? Also known as bremelanotide. It is FDA approved for the use of sexual dysfunction in women. But I have read that men can use it to increase libido. I may give it a shot and if so will post about my experience.

But I have read that men can use it to increase libido. I may give it a shot and if so will post about my experience.Wanted to report my experience with bremelanotide, which is also known as PT-141. Bremelanotide is a peptide that is FDA approved to treat decreased libido in women. However, it is often used "off label" by men to treat the same condition.
I am in my late 50's. During the last six months I have been experiencing weird episodes of low libido. I can still get hard. I don't use ED meds to whack off, but when I'm going to have sex I will use a C or V to give me a rock hard erection. That's worked for me for years. Recently though I have had several episodes where I see my sugar baby or a provider, and even with the ED meds nothing happens. No erection. This happened enough times where it started to cause some anxiety going into the sexual experience. I am healthy, work out, don't drink or smoke. I take my health seriously and so this freaked me out.
I watched some YT videos about bremelanotide and decided to try it. You have to order it in powder form. When you're ready to use it, you mix the powder with "bacteriostatic water". Then you inject it into the fat in your stomach. This is obviously a bit more complicated than popping a pill. I had never used needles before, but after doing it a few times its not that bad. Just takes more planning.
I have tried it now four times. It works differently than V or C. For me, it doesn't "activate" until I go to sleep. The first time I injected it was around 5 pm. I didn't feel anything that evening and thought it was ineffective. However, that night I woke up with a rock hard erection that went up and down while I was sleeping. Then in the morning I had massive morning wood that lasted most of the morning into early afternoon. I whacked off two times, it would go down briefly but then return in 20 minutes. This was without any ED meds.
Most recently, I injected it around midnight because I had an appointment with my sugar baby for 9 am the next morning. I used a 3 mg dose (the normal dose range is 1. 75 - 4 mg). OMG. I woke up at 4 am with a massive hard on. I whacked off but it came back. I was worried about priapism but eventually it went down. Saw my sugar baby that morning and I haven't fucked like that since college. She left, but my erection didn't. It would go up randomly throughout the day. I feel like I could have fucked another five times. Went to an AMP and got a HJ but couldn't bust.
There are some down sides. Many report a side effect of nausea, sometimes severe. I haven't experienced this, but do get a mild headache. Also, the fact that I have to inject it and then go to sleep before it works makes the timing difficult. It also costs more. I paid $50 for a 10 mg container. That will give you between 3 - 6 doses, depending on how large a dose you use. Finally, the erections I get off this stuff are raging and somewhat uncontrollable. This sounds awesome, but in reality it can be awkward. I was walking around work with a boner for half the day and think I got some weird looks.
Bremelanotide is another tool available to fight the inevitable decline of aging. There are other details associated with using it, but this post is already too long. If you search "bremelanotide for men" on YouTube you can find all the information you need. Good luck.

I purchased mt PT-141 from RPL Research Purpose Labs. Needless to say, it didn't work even at various amounts injected.
Side affects were really bad too. Thinking I must gave gotten bad product or old product.
You're not alone. My libido isn't what it used to be either.
It just seems to come and go now, where as before when I was younger, it was 110%.

Hey all. I also have used PT-141 and have had amazing response. It does not work as quickly for me. Need at least 4-6 hours to get good effect. If you take it too late, and too much, sleeping on your stomach may absolutely be impossible. I know I did not hit the dangerous 4 hour erection mark but had several lasting at least an hour overnight until I got my dosage right. I have also tried the nasal spray and it seems to work a little quicker but with less effect. Coupling this with a Ro Sparks or Peak 3 in 1 seems to be my sweet spot and absolutely makes me crazy. The PD5 always work for me but it is just a hardon. Whereas the PT-141 makes me feel like I am 15 - hard and libido so high, just pushing it into the bed on my stomach feels totally different. Want my wife to try too along with Oxytocin but she's reluctant.

It just seems to come and go now, where as before when I was younger, it was 110%.Pretty much same here. Comes and goes, mostly goes LOL. PDE5's still work for me somewhat but they don't make me hornier. No surprise because they don't work on drive. But the slow decline in PDE5 efficacy for me has correlated reasonably well with my decline in drive. As they say, you need to be aroused psychologically / hormonally for PDE5's to work best.
I dabble in trimix now sometimes and when I do use it, I get really horny. Not really from any hormonal response as trimix doesn't work that way either, but the fact that I get a magnificently super hard cock psychologically triggers horniness in me and could be because it definitely makes the girl hornier, so I'm thinking seeing her so horny makes me hornier. It's weird.
I thought PT141 would be the answer to all my problems a ways back but it was disappointing to me. Caused nausea, which I would have just dealt with, but never achieved the rise in libido some do. It did work a little, and I was tempted to just continue to just raise the dose but didn't think that was safe. I think I maxed out at 2 or 3 mg or something like that and I am aware some do more than that. I started noticing more freckles / moles on my skin getting darker and have no idea if that is a cause / effect but it is a rare published side effect. Most likely just me getting older and uglier skin but didn't want to take any chances considering the small bump in libido. But there are plenty of accounts where it does work very well for guys so it's worth a try and def easier than sticking a needle in your dick and the associated hassles with trimix.
How old are you?
I've been on adderall XR for a long time and have been living a sedentary lifestyle. I am still in decent shape, not fat by anymeans but I do feel this is catching up to me.
I'm going to get checked for diabetes soon as well.
Having low libido makes me not motivated to make $$ / focus on my career.
Got to get this sorted out!!

Got to get this sorted out!!If you are younger start with the sedentary lifestyle. Easier said than done I know. THen maybe get a blood test to see if you have any deficiencies.
I'm late 60's. My decline in drive is pretty explainable. Age LOL. Healthy libido up till around then. I can't blame overall health issues as I have always had healthy lifestyle habits including diet and exercise, I'm fit and thin, run, bike do cardio, gym etc. Etc. So while I try to do what I can, I don't obsess over it any more as it's very most likely due to mother nature taking its toll. That being said when my decline started around 60, I tried pretty much everything just in case it was something I was missing. Supplements didn't help at all, tried shockwave, nothing, red light. Nada, many things I can't remember. PT141 a little bump. My blood test showed I was OK on total T but on the low end of the free T spectrum, which is likely my problem. Never addressed the T issue though as it takes T supplementation and that has its own issues. I'm lucky that PDE5's still work to the extent they do with me but they don't work forever, when other things in your body, like T, are declining. Trimix works fabulously, many drawbacks, but nice to have in the arsenal. One thing never tried is T supplementation which many say works well but side effects are possible (Hair loss, balls shrinking) plus difficult to hide for those of us who need to do all this on the QT.
