I’ve learned recently that I’m low-T and have had indicative symptoms all my life, and it may even have factored into my major depression.
And though my endocrinologist recommends replacement therapy, I’m genuinely afraid I’ll turn into Pete Hegseth.
Before you get your next tattoo, just double check that it’s not more than “just a cool looking skull”.
it can cause low libido too, if they reccommended its a valid reason to take it.
Let me guess, Pistol Pete is going to do the assessments personally, by cupping the balls of only the most manly of soldiers, because he can judge the amount of testosterone by the weight.
RFK, Jr showed them how to do it, he’s been doing it all his life, and they all had a hilarious night in the Oval Office, practicing on each other. Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller had the tiniest balls, and cried about it. It was hilarious.
Good times, good times…
I can’t prove you wrong, so I have decided that this is what really happened.
should begin mental evaluations for the leadership
believing in pseudoscience = banned for life
I am getting “low T energy” from this guy
This is becoming so absurd. I’m starting to suspect that they are all hard core undercover communists, trying to make the revolution happen by doing the dumbest possible thing while pretending to be republicans.
I call that the ole Faux Nicholas & Wilhelm Gambit .
That dude ain’t right
This is so fucking gay
Another grift. Of course they’re gonna partner with a specific pharma company.
Yeah, even outside of the jokes about giving Testosterone. They will release the numbers and whether it is low or high it will reflect poorly about our military. This is not how kegsbreath thinks this will work out for him.
Why are they so enormously homoerotic? If you want to suck a dick, go for it. Grindr is a thing.
So either get railed or fuck your bottoms until they are in heaven.
But god fucking damn it, stop screwing with the world.
The military, at least the Marine Corps, was the gayest place I’ve ever been. Homoeroticism runs rampant.
That being said, testing for low T is a big what we to me. I’d say that falls under medical care, and they’re providing it, so good.
Oh, they know very intimately how to use Grindr… they’re just awful people
war machine break down
Testosterone isn’t like… You need a certain level to be a real man or something.
Hormones are very complex but here is something.
Low status males have more testosterone.
Men who have children have lower testosterone.
It isn’t as simple as more=better.
It likely is, in part, related to aggression when too high.
Lower levels as men get older doesn’t really seem to be a problem except advertising tells men it means they aren’t good enough anymore and definitely need to buy their products to increase it.
As a feminist I am equally appalled at the attack on men’s bodies as those on women.
I think there has been this big shift to constantly tell men there is something wrong with them and to sell them a fix.
It’s disgusting.
I watch TV sometimes (antenna, and mostly Xena or x-files) in the evening and it’s non stop erectile dysfunction medication commercials of hair loss. Or testosterone boosting supplements.
Jesus , leave men alone. They have enough shit to worry about without making them insecure about existing. The commercials are so dystopian from my female perspective.
Idk how they make men feel but nothing good.
sounds like you have been consuming too much manosphere bs.
Low status males have more testosterone.
Getting some strong Andrew Tate’s vibes here
As a men, I love your answer. I would upvote it 100 times if I could.
The society is always pushing the ideal of men that is bold, strong, independent, commandeering, never showing weakness. It creates a culture of toxic masculinity and deep insecurities that must be kept hidden, otherwise you are admitting to being weak and thus a lesser man. IMHO it’ also a big contributor to the loneliness epidemic and incels existing.
As you said, it’s similar to the problem of the completely unrealistic woman bodies shown in advertisement. It’s unreachable by definition.
If you are a man, be kind, be open to others and be vulnerable. You are enough as you are, you’ll live more happily if you stop chasing whatever others call “perfection”, and start living your life as yourself. You are the strong one for fighting against those deeply unhealthy ideals, instead of succumbing to it.
I really support femnism too: the right of being treated as a valid person, equal to everyone else, should apply to all. Men and women alike.
Advertising has a long history of creating problems to sell you a solution. But it’s just so insidious nowadays. And it seems to be targeting people at a deeper level.
These ED commercials are just so awful.
Wife ignoring you? Men at work not respecting you? Feel lonely? Also women are definitely judging you. They all KNOW you are inadequate.
It’s probably because you can’t produce an erection for 4 hours straight at the snap of your fingers.
They don’t care that this causes cultural and society problems. They just want money.
I always find it funny the reactions of men who seek hair loss treatment with a real medical service and learn that they’re most likely going bald because genetically they have way too much testosterone.
Double funnies when conservatives have to face the fact that the treatment for their bald head is hormone therapy and the irony of taking hormone blockers for gender affirming therapy never crosses their mind…
Happily married man here. Those commercials are silly, but they’re so constant that they get annoying. But someome must be giving them money if they are buying tv ads.
They have to be making a ton of money or those commercial spots are selling cheap. Idk.
There is a blue chew commercial at almost every single commercial break. Multiple versions too.
Idk how they make men feel but nothing good.
They make us feel bad about ourselves. That’s why they work. They’re selling the “fix”. It’s the same playbook marketing people have been using against women since the beginning of advertising.
Huh, I figured he’d just mandate every male to receive additional testicle implants every 5 or 10 years.
“Hey sarn’t, how many balls in are you now?”
“7 balls, Private. That’s why I keep my trigger finger taped down all the time we’re not weapons free.”
I was chuckling until I saw the community. But then, you really couldn’t make this up.
It’s too on-the-nose to be satire
Who needs a functioning endocrine system anyways?
That shits overrated. Give our special little boys all the gear.
