Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Now that would depend on if you were asking for a male's interpretation of what is a " normal " libido level, or, if you were asking his wife! I apologize for injecting that bit of humor to the board, but it was too much of an opportunity to pass up! Seriously, I too would like to see what is described as being normal or average for the different age groups of both males and females given all their respective hormone levels being within what the doctors call normal ranges. Unfortunately, I believe that the vast majority of men are reluctant to be totally honest about the subject due to being afraid of how they might be looked upon by peers. I think we can all agree that our libido levels at age 45 isn't what it was at age 25. However, how much of a reduction can be expected if all your hormone levels are within the normal ranges? In my own case, when my libido fell to near zero I knew that there had to be something wrong. Blood tests confirmed that I was below range on testosterone. At this point, I'm too early into my TRT to tell how effective that it's going to be. I'm new to this post but enjoying learning here, thanks to all.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 It's all subjective. How horny are you and how often? If you think once a week is normal to have desire, and you only have it once every two weeks, you're low. If you think one a year is normal and you want it once a week, it's high. There's probably some study on the web if you Google for it to show what the average or " normal " person for your age group feels in terms of frequency of desiring sex. That might add a little more objectivity to it. I used to want it two or three times per week...lately it's two or three times per day..I'd say I'm a bit high right now. > Libido - measuring > > I see on this list (and elsewhere in life) libido is often > mentioned as being high or low... is there anything that > defines what we mean, or is generally meant, by high or low libido? > > I suspect I have low libido... but it's only a gut feel... > what do you guys take it to mean?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 For me libido was a euphemism. I told my doc that I had low libido. I was much to ashamed to say my dick stopped working. As an aside, I've been on T for 1 ½ years and I still for some psyco- socio- reason still talk around the subject.
