you see a girl thats a 10 on a bad day and you cant get it up.


Shutdown is mainly the testies stopping the production of test because your body already has plenty of test in the system. Since there is so much test your 'Boys" dont need to make any, after a while getting them back becomes a problem. Thats what shutdown really is.

You will still be horny for a while but it will slowly drop and drop. By the end of the cycle you really need a SERM or lots of other PCT to restart your natural production.

I didn't feel it till the end of a cycle.. balls were small and sometimes even hurt. The main psychological feeling you get is no interest in sex whatsoever. You know that urge you get to watch porn sometimes lol... consider it dead. I tested it out.. I looked at pictures of sexy girls in the beginning cycle and got the usual "I would do unspeakable things to get in the sack with her," near the end of my cycle when I looked at these pictures I thought "hmm" there was honestly nothing there. I felt bad for my gf I knew she wanted some and I really really just did not want to do it. It's a weird feeling when it happens for the first time. All your life you've been chasing girls and all of the sudden you lose that drive.

EDIT: it was also a kind of double edged sword. You know when you're just horny as hell and want to do it so bad that it's psychologically frustrating. Where even when you're watching porn you're thinking "F*** I wish I had the real deal here." That frustration that comes from chasing sex is dead. It felt a little relieving to be honest. But I never want it again lol.

I speak the truth from my point of view. If any of you can't relate to my porn analogies you guys are fukin liars lol.

Ah, to be in my twenties again. Shutdown in forties is no fun at all. Luckily I usually get a two week surge when first going on. Wifey knows to take advantage of this lol. But yeah shutdown is zero interest, I usually feel like almost numb in my crotch as well.

Ok, i think i'm experiencing shutdown. I just finished my PCT from a 6 week P-mag cycle and I've noticed I'm not as eager to bang my girl and when I do im sometimes just not that into it. My ejaculations don't feel as good and they don't have the volume they had pre-cycle. I've noticed them being watery also and my erections really don't feel rock-hard. Its weird because everything was ok during my cycle and pct, but since ive stopped pct ive noticed these problems.

The only other thing that has been different is that I started taking OEP around the time I started to notice these symptoms.

Im also noticing that the good lookin chicks at the gym still appeal to me but I just dont get as excited or aroused. Same thing with chicks at the clubs/bars. It wuz like no girl did "it" for me.

Honestly, this feeling really sucks. Im semi-freaking out because I get the feeling Ive ruined my body's testosterone production and that I'll never get back to what it used to be and that ill need viagra by age 25 or sooner. This **** is depressing me.

Someone with experience and/or advice please help me out. I wanna get back to my old self. Thanks guys. BTW, my PCT was PCT Assist, Formestance & Suppress-C.

Get a real SERM. Personally, I'm done with OTC PCTs.

errmm and youre surprised that youre shut down? always use a serm bro. you may have to do 2-4 wks of nolva/clomid/torem to help you get back to homeostasis..

One of the best things to do is to get labs done to see where your at. Once doing that and confirming, probably can get away with doing pct with nolva 20/20/10/10 or clomid 50x4.

Other thing to remember here is that some guys can take as much as four months to come back all the way; especially if done naturally. This is something you should have realized prior to the cycle, acceptable risk and all that. good luck

Clomid 50, 50, 25, 25 is all you need if you want throw some proviron 50mg/ed in there to free up some test and boost your libido ( proviron at that dose will not shut you down not even at 100mgs and i have seen blood work to prove this from multiple sources and people on outlaw). I used to have libido issues running these short 4-6 weeks cycles, now i run low doses of transdermal test with HCG, proviron and some orals here and there for 6 months. No libido issues here. Even when i come off i recover in about 2 weeks due to HCG usage throughout the cycle.
