Welcome Clk,
Answer to your question:

Is it safe to use Testroxin directly on the penis to try and create gains every other day after pe’ing and being safe to prevent it from coming in contact with my testicles in your opinion?
At a cursory glance I imagine it should be safe as long as you are very careful and don’t overuse it. Maybe an application once every 3 or 4 days, which is the suggested usage on the various sites I looked at. You could also consider cycling it. (I’ll say more about that if you like but I’m not going to put that info here as my answer is already going to be a big one.)
As I suggested with Tribulus above, and as you’ll see me suggest with ANY supplement intended for boosting testosterone, start out VERY slowly. Increase VERY slowly. Find what works for you but do it SLOW. (Don’t want to wind up looking like your mother now do you?)
From the “More Than You Wanted To Know” department:
Having no personal experience with this product or AndroGel, which is a actual medical drug as opposed to Testroxin’s herbal ingredients, I’m going to have to answer purely from scientific info on this one.
A quick search of Testroxin Ingredients on Google turned up the recipe used, though it didn’t state amounts.

SD Alcohol, Deionized Water, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate, Isohexadecane, Polysorbate 80, Androstenedione, Progesterone, Phenoxyethanol, Di-Indolemethane, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Liposomes, Chrysin. – Source:
I’ll give you a quick breakdown of each thing. (And tell you why I’m doing so in a moment.)
SD Alcohol - Specially Denatured Alcohol. Carrier substance. Pretty good for most transdermal products. (BTW Transdermal means absorbed through the skin.)
Deionized Water – Carrier Substance. Water generally isn’t absorbed through the skin amazingly well. However, it does get absorbed slowly. Using Deionized Water mixed with SD Alcohol helps evaporate the water plus helps with transdermal absorption. (If you’ve ever used those waterless hand sanitizers they act almost the same way. Deionized Water and SD Alcohol when put into an oxygen rich environment, air, evaporates quickly.)
Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate – Gelling Agents. These absorb large amounts of a solution and store it in a gel form.
Isohexadecane – Synthetic Hydrocarbon Emollient. Used to soften the skin to allow greater absorption.
Polysorbate 80 – Nonionic Surfactant. Used to reduce the surface tension of a liquid to allow greater absorption.
Still with me? Good, cause here’s where we actually get to some good stuff. :)
Androstenedione – Hormonal Precursor to Testosterone. Androstenedione (Andro for short) is one metabolic conversion step away from Testosterone. That means your body only needs to do one little thing to convert Andro to Testosterone. This is where the testosterone boost of the product comes from. The “active” component as it were.
Progesterone – Hormone. Can be converted to Testosterone and has been reported to reduce negative side effects normally associated with higher than normal levels of testosterone in the body. This however has not been clinically studied to my knowledge.
Phenoxyethanol – Chemical Preservative. Used to increase shelf life of a product.
Di-Indolemethane –Estrogen Metabolant. This is the first time I’ve heard of this substance. It appears to assist in the breaking down (catabolism) of estrogen in males. Most likely this is in the product to negate any actual conversion from testosterone to estrogen, thus avoiding the side effects. Big thank you for bringing this to my attention, Cik. Going to have to research this more.
Grapefruit Seed Extract – Tons of stuff. There are a billion reasons to throw Grapefruit Seed Extract into just about everything. It has many benefits.
Liposomes – Special Fats. Very hard to explain in small terms what these do. I’ll try though. Basically they create little tiny bubbles of fat and trap substances inside themselves. Like tiny pills but with a very minor surface tension. These assist in transport through the skin.
Chrysin – Anti-Estrogen Compound. Somehow this herb appears to reduce the ability of the body to convert testosterone to estrogen. I imagine it was added for much the same reason Di-Indolemethane was, however this uses a different mechanism than DIM, thus creating a double pronged attack on the estrogen front.
Whew that was long winded.
Now why did I explain all of that to you? For your own education of course! Now that you know what everything in the product is it’s not nearly as frightening. Remember, knowledge is power!
It appears, from everything I’ve read on the various ingredients, that this product has the chance to actually do what it claims, at least partially. I don’t believe the hype about a 357% increase in testosterone but I imagine you will experience an increase.
It also appears to have a goodly amount of things to reduce or prevent testosterone-to-estrogen conversion.
An increased boost of testosterone with minimal conversion to estrogen would be considered good in my opinion.
Will it help with PE? The jury is still out on it but now that you know what you’re dealing with, you can give it a (well)educated try and see what happens.
Be sure to let us know your results.
Best of luck to you,
