Testosterone for twits
|
I get a lot of young men at the office asking about testosterone.
And I put some of them on it. But if you are under fourty and want to do testosterone there are a few things you need to know . |
1) You might be an idiot
There are all sorts of good reasons that young men need to be on T. But you most likely aren't one of them. The folks I see usually have had testicle cancer, serious medical problems, genetic abnormalies, or significant accidents. Or you might have a brain tumor.
2) Your balls are going to shrink
Your balls make T. Once you start taking T, your balls realize they don't have to work anymore. Just like muscles that don't get exercise, your balls shrink. Instead of a plum you will have a grape. Your love interest may laught at you.
3) You may go bald and get zits - at the same time !
Taking T is like going through puberty all over again. You get greasy skin and zits.
Male pattern baldness is also T dependant. The more T you take the balder you get !

4) In a few years you are going to be a scrawny little dweeb
Once your balls have gone on strike it is hard to get them back to work again. So when you go off the T, which you will eventually happen, you are going to have lower T than before. For the rest of your life. And you are going to look like it !
5) You are going to end up sterile
Once your balls go on strike , they also get lazy about producing sperm. You are going to be chemically neutered. And you did it to yourself.
6) Most of what you read in muscle magazines is crap
This is the tricky one. Because it is not all crap. Just most of it. But unless you have a degree in biochemistry, it is hard to tell. ( I have a degree in biochemistry.)
And the focus of the mag isn't science. It is selling supplements.

7) You may turn into a jerk
Testosterone is the hormone of aggresion and intolerance. Which is great if you like getting into fights in parking lots. But it can be hard on relationships.
8) You may get boobs.
Fond of checking yourself out in the mirror at the gym? Pretty soon you may have better cleavage than some of the gals. Usually lopsided though. Victoria's Secret anyone ?
9) Once you are hooked, you are hooked for life
Once you are on T, you have to stay on it. Your balls go on permanent idle. And if you stop taking the T you turn into a slug, with even lower T than if you had never been on it.
10) And the bottom line is ....
If you want to go on T, make sure that you really need it, that you know what you are doing, and that you are prepared to be on it forever.
Sure, there are ways of getting around most of the above side effects, but they are costly and annoying.
If you show up with a bunch of dumbass questions about aromatase inhibitors and hCG and boner pills and ordering on-line, my mom will beat you up. For being a twit.
Testosterone isn't for everyone. So if you think you want to try it, make sure you are sincere.
