I’ll post some facts.
FACT: ANY amount of exogenous testosterone introduced into the male body will suppress natural testosterone production.
Here’s the study:

OBJECTIVE: In a phase I single-centre, open, randomized study, the pharmacokinetics of two doses of a transdermal testosterone gel containing 2.5% testosterone were evaluated in 26 healthy male volunteers. DESIGN: To eliminate the influence of endogenous serum testosterone, gonadotrophins and endogenous testosterone secretion were suppressed by a single intramuscular injection of 400 mg norethisterone enanthate. Fourteen men applied 5.0 g and 12 men applied 2.5 g testosterone gel daily for 10 days. Half the men in each group washed the gel off 10 min after it had been applied. RESULTS: In all the men, a marked suppression of LH, FSH, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and oestradiol was observed after norethisterone treatment. Physiological serum concentrations of testosterone were restored during the 10-day treatment period in the group of men applying 5.0 g testosterone gel. Increasing serum concentrations of testosterone from day 1 to day 10 were observed. Oestradiol and DHT concentrations did not exceed normal values. Washing 10 min after gel application did not influence the resorption of testosterone. A dose of 2.5 g testosterone gel was insufficient to achieve physiological serum concentrations of testosterone. CONCLUSION: Testosterone replacement treatment with 5.0 g of this 2.5% testosterone gel is able to achieve constant physiological testosterone concentrations in gonadotrophin-suppressed men. Washing the skin after 10 min does not influence the pharmacokinetic profile and thus significantly reduces the risk of contamination of female partners or infants.

Now here’s why I posted this:
There was a guy that was only applying a little bit to his penis every day and he questioned if this would indeed be a problem because it was "only a little bit".
The answer is a loud YES!
Suppose as a healthy male you run at something like 400-800ng/dl of testosterone on average. Now if you introduce even a SMALL amount of hormone into your system, you’ll shut down natty test production and have extremely LOW levels of testosterone. Your not producing any test, and that small amount that you’re applying is only going to provide sub-physiological levels of a "replacement amount"
Yes, you can just rub a "little" hormone on and have sub-normal levels of test now.
Welcome to limp dick and bitch tit land guys…have a blast.
