Excerpt:

“After years of a marriage that had little sex in it, Greg Carter had largely accepted that his wife no longer had any interest. The last thing he expected was that right around the time that they both were nearing 50, his wife would have a complete change of heart. “She was pouncing on me,” he said.

His wife had recently started taking testosterone to manage her menopausal symptoms — at a dose so high that it brought her testosterone levels higher than is typical even for women in their 20s. The difference in her desire was almost immediate. “I had the experience of feeling like a teenage boy,” she told me. The shift vastly improved Greg’s own happiness, so much so that he sometimes felt pangs of regret about the years they spent together without a sex life. “I realized, later in life, all that we had missed out on,” he says.“

Sounds like a dream come true for me. Lol.

My wife is 38, but two kids have slowed down our sex life to once a week.

I have a higher sex drive than she does.

I get worried that it will go away completely as we continue to age.

I’ll keep this in mind for the future though. Might come in handy at some point.

MY lovely wife just turned 69. Been taking 3-4 mg of test cyp a week for a couple of years now, along with estradiol creme, DHEA and progesterone and she feels and looks great. Body better than gals in their 20s, great sex drive and good gym performance, (trap deadlift of 215 at 125 lbs, 30 strict push-ups, 3 min planks etc). It’s great for her, and me!

I’ve gotten hit up on messenger out of the blue by a few women I went to svhool with. Ensuing conversation revealed they had been on some type of supplemental testosterone gell or cream for several months.

Definitely seems to be a thing.

Excellent topic. We added a picture so that it can be shared on socials.

And you’re absolutely sure they’re not only after your money? I mean, scammers get more intelligent by the day. Have you tried your proven “routine” on them?

Oh no, they’re women I know personally.

They know whats good. :wink:. Burrito supreme & extra hot sauce. :rofl:
