A Disturbing Side Effect (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I wonder if anyone else has had something like this.

I am 55 years old. After starting Androgel, my energy levels rose, my sweating episodes cease and my wife and I were both became very delighted with the return of our sex life.

However, there is a dark side. I have also become obsessed with pictures of naked men – specifically, their genitals. It’s like looking at a Playboy when I was 12. I find myself thinking about joining a gym just to go to shower room. Clearly all of this is very different for me and it is very uncomfortable. I am embarrassed to talk about it to my doctor.

Does anyone else have anything remotely similar to this?

I have been on Androgel 1.62 for 5 days now and cannot believe the awsome changes, my t levels were 5.3 / 173 very low. no sex drive very tired all the time. cant remember the last time I had a morning erection. the morning erections are back, if I touch my wife or have any thoughts of sexual activity or seeing someone partially clothed man or women I become very aroused.I am not gay , it is a normal reaction since your sex drive is comming back according to the doctor it dosen't take much to set you in motion. I am glad I had my t-levels checked and my doctor started Androgel therapy I feel alive again after 3 or 4 years of no sex and energy. life is great now, it is a normal thing guys just keep moving forward and good luck.

Anon, I do understand how disturbing and alarming this is for you, however, going through such phases is completely normal for everyone.

In addition, whenever you are on a medication or medical treatment and experience something so unusual, you should talk to your doctor about it and there is no reason to feel embarrassed. You can be sure that unless they are fresh out of medical school, they've heard pretty much everything before and some stuff that is was worse than anything you could come up with.

Are there any other comments or questions?

I had a few different ones, they come from repressed hidden thoughts, not meaning you are gay but most likely just something you have had happen as a child. I've gone from being used in a male gang bang to going down on every woman I saw on the street, mainly older woman. It will pass to some degree. Personally it doesn't bother me, at least sex is on my mind again. If it concerns you lower your dose a bit. I think it has something to do with all the repressed time my brain was deprived of sexual satisfaction
