Is there any way that taking 2 Novedex XT at night for 2 weeks so far could be decreasing my libido?

I took it for 8 weeks. I am 42 and I woke up every morning with major wood. In fact even after stopping for a couple of weeks now I still get major wood. Haven't experienced that in about 15 years! It picked up my sex drive too, so much so that the ol' lady has been like, "Stop already!".

I don't see anyway an AI would kill your libido. It binds with the aromatase enzyme so that there is more test available to bind to test receptors. It doesn't do anything hormonally so I don't think it can reduce your libido from a scientific standpoint.

alot of guys find ATD kills their libido, it doesnt effect me personally, but it can decrease libido for sure.

I lowers estrogen in the brain by about 98%. Estrogen plays a big part in libido. You might have all the test in the world and get random boners, but without estrogen you'll usually have no desire.

Atd absolutely demolishes my libido. I know that first hand with both novedex xt and straight atd. But don't worry it comes back after you stop.

it has affected mine a lot, i still get the morning wood but my sex drive is just gone.

yeah libido and morning wood are 2 different things.. morning/nocturnal wood has nothing to do with having the desire to have them.. any imbalance of T/E will affect libido, nuff said

We need a thread to discuss the physiological factors affecting libido in both sexes.
