I would rather be secondary given the choice between the two. For some reason I don't mind the idea it is in my "head" or brain, but knowing my balls don't work seems more immasculating. More importantly though there may be some discovery some day that will result in a new treatment for a broken HPTA, but if you balls don't work then there is not much you can do for them. Finally with HCG I am able to make some of my T myself and Dr. Shippen has said there is always the possibility they also make some other unknown hormone that effects libido so it is a good idea to keep them working as long as possible.
