I've seen several ("enhancement/anxiety") threads (typically about Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, Staminex, Enzyte, and the like) ... but I haven't seen any threads specifically addressing testosorine supplements and their effects on sex drive.

I'm curious if anyone has any expereience with testostorine replacement gels (such as Androgel; which is available by Prescription) ... or the various testostorine supplement pills available at health food stores?

My sex drive just isn't what it used to be ... and I'm wondering if this sort of thing might do the trick? My doctor once told me my testostorine levels were within an acceptable (normal) range, albeit on the low side of normal. I think it is unusual for someone my age (33) to have such a low libido. I certainly have the desire ... but sometimes ... I feel like I've got Larry Flint's eyes ... and Ben Stein's pulse. Frustrating. A spontaneous woody every now and then wouldn't be all that bad of a thing. I dare say I would probably feel somewhat better about myself ... a little more alive.

I'm thinking about going back to the doctor to ask for a trial prescription. But before I do ... I thought I might try to solicit some feedback.

For those of you who have never heard of aAndrogel, here's an brief excerpt from an Andrgoel webite:

AndroGel(TM) is a unique, clear, colorless topical gel that men apply once daily to the shoulders, upper arms and/or abdomen. Upon application, AndroGel(TM) dries within a few minutes, during which time the skin absorbs the testosterone. The skin serves as a reservoir for the hormone, which slowly enters the bloodstream. Normal testosterone levels are restored soon after application. AndroGel(TM) is the only FDA approved testosterone replacement therapy available in gel form. AndroGel(TM) provides men with a safe, effective and easy-to-use treatment that can be applied at home.

Clinical data from a U.S. phase III study conducted in men with hypogonadism indicated that AndroGel(TM) quickly raised circulating testosterone to desirable levels, and maintained it within normal range. The study also found that AndroGel(TM) increased sex drive, bone mineral density, and lean body mass and improved mood and energy levels.
