Why is my instrument not working so well?
Hello guys,
I turned 30 not so long ago and I’ve been having serious issues with my engine for the past year, maybe a bit longer. At first I thought it was temporary because of lack of sleep and stress, but then I realized it’s been going on for too long and it’s probably worth investigating.
Basically my sex drive is very low. I can go a long time without feeling any real need to orgasm, and my morning erections are rare/almost gone. The weird thing is that I can still get strong erections when stimulated, so I don’t think it’s purely a vascular issue. It feels more like the spontaneous arousal/morning wood signal is weak.
I did blood work twice and I can’t really make sense of the results. Nothing is technically out of range, but the pattern looks weird to me.
| Test Name | Result | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Total Testosterone | ~7.00 ng/ml | Tested twice |
| Free Testosterone (computed) | ~140 pg/ml | Tested twice |
| Estradiol | 32.46 pg/ml | the max lab reference is at 33.7 |
| SHBG | 44.20 nmol/L | |
| LH | 7.90 mlU/mL | Tested twice |
| FSH | 10mlU/mL | Tested twice |
For context, I’m around 100 kg, probably 25–30% body fat, and I work out around 5 times a week. I can bench 90 lb dumbbells, calm down, I know it’s not insane, just giving an idea of my build :) I rarely vape socially and I don’t drink.
Counting on you guys, the best internet community :)
