Hello,
Right now I am on Testim gel and it's extremely sticky so I don't really like this. I feel like my skin will come off or something. How many minutes am I supposed to wait until I put my shirt back on? Even after 15 minutes or so, it's feels the same.  I still prefer gel however since I can control the dosage. I was wondering if all the gel/cream brands of T are like this? 
I am male because I say so and nothing more.
I don't have to look or act like one therefore.

If this is a prescription, you might try Androgel. I have heard it isn't so sticky. If it is not a prescription and you live in the US or Canada, you might try a compounded cream. You buy these from compounding pharmacies (don't think they exist so much in Europe or Australia but I might be wrong). They are considerably cheaper and have a cream base. You'd think this might be sticky but it is more like hand cream. I have heard complaints like that re: Testim.

Yes, it's a prescription. I will ask about Androgel when I go to the doctors then, thank you very much.

Also, I was wondering if taking it at night time makes any difference in its effects because on the prescription it says "preferably in the morning"...

I used to be on gel and I preferred to use it in the evening because that way I wouldn't sweat it off during the day. It never really made any difference.
Most likely it says "preferably in the morning" because apparently a cismale's T levels are at their highest in the morning or something.

Most gel should dry up after 5 mins. I'm on testogel mine isn't that sticky. And it normally drys up in about 5 mins and it safe for me to put in my tee. I apply mine in the evening before bed.
