    Rx vs. XXX

    I am married to a Low T man, he is in his mid 40's , was told by a Urologist that his levels are those of a 60 yr old's. And that he will most likely need Test supplementation in his future. Now my sex drive is higher than his and I do not like this at all. I used to hate porn, now I use Porn --for him, we both watch it together. And it DOES help on some of those nights that he is having some trouble due to his lower testosterone levels -which equals --lack of desire. If the desire is there, so is the erection, if you know what I mean. It doesn't make the wife feel any better, when your husband can not get it up, It all equals the same to us--&quot;He must not desire me anymore&quot;, we can't get this out of our heads, and this can cause a lot of hurt in an otherwise happy marriage. I am less concerned about Porn as I am with him getting this treatment someday , so for now, this is how we are dealing with it. A lot of Iingerie, dirty talk, soft Porn, strip clubs, and a very seductive wife. We have sex 4-5 times a week even though his levels are near a 60 yr olds. My goal in life is to give him an erection every single day, he has no complaints. I will do what I can to achieve that -no matter the opionions of others, as they are not in our situation. I would suggest that low testosterone men are NOT at risk for Porn addiction as a High testosterone man is, since the Low Testosterone man has lost much of that Desire or is struggling with it , where the High Test man WISHES he could loose some of it lest he go CRAZY! I am happy he is still a &quot;Dirty old man&quot; &amp; wants to &quot;Look&quot; (a sign of being a healthy male) -cause I know when this goes, he needs the meds!

    My husband was not yet 30 when he was diagnosed with low testosterone. I read about it in a magazine geared toward older women, saw all the symptoms in him, and asked him to get tested.
    He is also addicted to porn, and has been since his teens. He's a nice guy who provides well for us, but the porn problem has made it hard to have a sex life--he &quot;blows his wad&quot; on that, then there's nothing left for me, and I've caught him looking at some pretty extreme stuff, which turns me off not just because it's repugnant content, but because I'm disgusted at him for liking it. Also it makes me feel like he would rather have the slender pretty blonde porn stars than his larger wife, which makes me feel like I'm ugly or something. Porn is not the solution.
    On the other hand, the testosterone works great. When he's on it, he has much more energy (doesn't pass out on the couch at 9), and actually does porn less. Low testosterone can also lead to osteoporosis, and since he's lactose intolerant (likely to not get enough calcium) and is of slight build, I didn't want him to have any more risk. The downside is that Androgel is expensive, and he needs double the standard dose. (Tried the patch, but was allergic to it.) However, it is well worth it for how much better he feels and functions, not just in bed.
