Why would I want to increase my testosterone? It makes sense (but not something I ever thought about before) that it naturally decreases as a man ages. I was curious about it and went out on the web looking for stuff on testosterone levels. Holy smokes. You'd think that this was some kind of apocalypse for some guys. I mean, come on....MANopause? Give me a break.
On the other hand, a low level of testosterone might explain some things in life (lack of drive/passion over any one subject, putting on weight around the middle, loss of muscle tone, etc.), but I don't really want to know what my "T" level is. If it's too low, does that make me less of a man? I spent too much of my high school years being called gay; I don't think my ego could take the scientific equivilent. And I certainly wouldn't go in for any kind of hormone treatment. To me, that just seems to be messing with things that shouldn't be messed with. I've heard horror stories about women on hormone treatment. No thanks. I'll pass.
I'll just stick with the natural methods of raising my T-levels. Seems healthier by far.

I do have to post one comment here. Sometimes it *is* necessary to go on hormone treatment. If the level is too low for too long it can effect both mood and liver, just like if it's too high. Yes, I know these things.
