Come to think of it, I have stated earlier that weed smoking has put my libido down, sure, regarding night wood and such but when time came to jerk off, no problemo as my mind was so ‘wasted’ and not preoccupied with worrying. ( don’t smoke any more though, and don’t recommend it if you have to smoke to fuck or forget problems, then you might have deeper issues that needs tending to and smoking will only add to that in the end)Must also say that my sleep pattern has improved drastically and I have shed some underlying baby fat with intermittent fasting which I am still on, less fat equals less estrogen and I eat at least a handful of broccoli a day( broccoli hinders the conversion of test into est, not killing estrogen as some on this forum seems to think). Even my damn beard growth is getting noticeably better week by week, seriously.
So considering all those factors and doing a ED routine, it’s all good for now and will not change a thing, have ordered some multivitamins and more damiana. And I don’t drink, alcohol is for pussies and kills test.
Will wait it out even further with going to the Doc’s as the natural way most likely is the best way.
EDIT: think worrying and depression has been the main cause of my libido issues in the past+ all the shit I have put in my body over the years, takes some time for everything to reset.
Glad to hear you`re recovering. Stress and depression definitely kills libido and can lower testosterone as well.
I was super stressed in the past and really, really strained my body when I was 18. Seems like I never recovered from that breakdown. I feel physically well now, but my libido and EQ is missing. At least consistently. I remember a week in August, where I packed a solid flaccid and had an erection that simmered between 30-100% all day long. I even got hard in the gym.
At the time, I had just started talking to a girl that seemed very exciting (her personality) and that I really liked, so I thought there could be a connection (brain chemistry), but it could have been random. There has been other girls after her, but nothing like the same. I get days like this once in a blue moon, but not consistent. During the start of the routine, I had that fat feeling to my erections and really good workouts, but it subsided.
Regarding alcohol, I drink once per week in moderate amounts and don`t really think it`s bad for me. I think it`s healthy for me.
Quote from a Lean Gains article by Martin Berkhan:
“You’ve probably heard that alcohol intake lowers testosterone. While this is true, the actual impact has been widely exaggerated. A three-week study that had men and women consume 30-40 g alcohol per day, showed a 6.8% reduction in testosterone for the men and none for the women at the end of the study-period. That’s three beers a day for three weeks and a measly 6.8% reduction in testosterone for the men. What kind of an effect would you think a few beers on an evening once or twice a week would have? Hardly any.”
Keep up the good work, Viking. Will be exciting to see if this leads us anywhere.
