T levels and libido

[miniarnold]

Quick Q,
i have wondered this for some time, if ones T levels increase say from low-normal or even normal-higher (still remaining in physiological reference ranges) then is a raise in T always indicated by an increase in libido such as increased wood stronger wood more horny et,
Does libido and wood have to increase to mean T levels have raised,
Or could T levels still increase but with no effect or increase on a mans libido?

Cheers

Forgot to add,
can libido also increase without a raise in a mans T levels?

Everyone has genetics set points. Once you.go out of the.natural boundaries for that.person.the body.may.convert extra testoerone to.e2 or.dht. Each is.bioindividua dependent. Some.guys function great on 400 tt provided other numerous factors are in check. When you.shift.the natural paradigm then you are going to run into issues. If it ain't broke do not fix it

There is no simple relationship between T levels and libido. It is possible to have high T and low libido and vice versa. Libido has many dependencies. T is one of these so it is probably safe to say that if your T is very low you will have libido issues. Other dependencies include estrogen that can kill libido when too high or too low and prolactin that can kill it when too high. There is so much more that could be said about this but there is also more that is not known.

thanks, but didnt understand your answer

was trying to find out if libido has to increase to mean T levels have raised
or if T levels can raise without a raise/increase in libido,
if they both have to go hand in hand meaning you cant have one without the other

so it doesnt always mean that for T to raise then increased libido is a side effect that must be present as the result of raised T?,
and ones T levels could increase naturally or with a supplement even if there is no increase/raise on libido?

There are other mechanisms which affect libido unrelated to testosterone.
There has to be a proper balance between all the endocrine system as well as neurological system for good libido
I have several people that have optimal hormones levels, and still no libido. You then need to look to out side factors for reasons why

That is right. I have had higher libido when my T was in the 600s than when it was in the 900s. I have heard some other people say that their libido went down when they boosted T. Certainly increasing T from very low levels will most likely be helpful but once you get into the normal range further increases are less likely to give further benefit and for some it can even be counterproductive. If you have a libido issue then you should be looking at more than just T.
