Perhaps my dopamine was/is low, but my prolactin is OK. I am not knowledgeable enough in endocrinology to know if that is possible.
Interesting that even with caber, which I understand is quite powerful, your number is still 9.6. Mine is 7.4 just with P5P (50 mg ED). The best I’ve ever felt, PRL was 5.6. I feel my best with PRL around 5-9.
How much caber are you taking?
Edit: here’s something funny that illustrates the limitations of bloodwork. When my PRL was 5.6 (June 2019), I was taking 260 mg/week of T-cyp and 25 mg EOD of Danazol. I tried the same protocol last year, and my PRL came back at 12.3. Both tests were conducted on an empty stomach, first thing in the AM, at trough.

To be fair, I wasn’t using caber repeatedly at that time. I don’t want to mess with my brain/heart too much. Only time I took caber 2x weekly was actually after that blood test when I was doing trestolone acetate. Caber , for me, is something I take either 1) when my wife and I get a weekend alone and I wanna fuck like a porn star or 2) I am just lacking some motivation and need to get something done. I’d say currently I do 0.5 of caber roughly once a month if even that.

Not sure it does for me either, other than smashing ‘normal’ levels of the hormone to virtually nothing.
That cant be good right?
My prolactin levels were out of range low.
I think I read somewhere that that wasn’t good for libido.
i don’t know anymore.
Does nothing for me also, besides lower prolactin when on tren, but i never really feel the prolactin anyway. Kinda like e2 for me, it can be 30, it can be 300, i dont feel any different.
I used to run Caber for a long time (together with 250mg test-e) for memory and visual learning benefits, etc and my libido was off the charts, close to untolerable at times lol Although I always had great libido and sex drive FWIW. Hard to say if it attributed or not as I haven’t ran 250mg test a week for a long time neither Caber. But also some other variables were involved so this all just anecdotes. I know for sure 250mg test and some proper ganjah made me a porn star every damn day of the week)

A woman who loves sex, is comfortable with herself and places no limits on pleasing or how she is pleased. She can be pretty or plain, petite or ample. A beautiful woman doesn’t mean she’s hot in bed.

Lately I been drinking more. Nothing crazy just 1-few beers a day. I notice that the next day I have better libido/erections. Wonder what the explanation is, as it’s not at the moment of being tipsy, but the next day.

Back in my drinking days, the day after a big night or weekend I could have sex 3x per day for a day or two. No idea why.

I’ve read beer, especially hoppy beer, bumps estrogen. YMMV.
Early in our marriage, my wife and I were at a restaurant and tried sake. We went to bed around 10. About 3 in the morning I woke up, hard. My wife was stirring, being a light sleeper. I snuggled up against her. She reached behind and put her hand on it, got up to take a pee and then the fun started. I miss those days.

I noticed the same before. That was one of several factors making me look into e2 supplementation as beer DIRECTLY temporarily increase e2.
Dude, more and more Point to the fact too low e2 is ur issue here.
I too notice a huge increase in libido with a hangover. I posted on here years ago on it.
My anecdotal thought is that its either an increase in estrogen due to hops OR
An overcompensation mechanism wherein the body increases dopamine due to previous night’s depletion of it due to boozing/shittier sleep (due to drinking).

Or the body is desperately seeking any form of pleasure to increase dopamine levels and prevent the, groggy, head throbbing, generally shitty hungover feeling, if only but for a moment. And the most basic form of pleasure and the quickest way to a reward that will cause a spike in dopamine is sexual pursuit and satisfaction.
This is a pretty well known phenomenon and I think the explanations here are centered around hormones because that’s what’s familiar to this audience. I personally believe it has more to do with neurotransmitters and that you are getting warmer with your overcompensation idea. Alcohol is an NMDA antagonist and NMDA antagonism reduces libido in animal studies. The rebound effect that follows the next day would then heighten NMDA signaling and might increase libido beyond normal.

This makes sense in the sense that I said during the actual tipsy/buzzed phase I am either subpar or a lost cause, it’s the next day that I feel all these benefits. If and when I drink again it’s gone during that period again till the next day.
P.S - my experience with that enanthate brand test has been god send and still seeing so many improvements around every area.
