I got that 13 fold figure from a paper called "Transdermal testosterone delivery: comparison between scrotal and nonscrotal delivery systems."

But then after reading your post I went back and kept looking, and it seems you are correct and I was mistaken. Could you take a quick look at the article I mentioned and tell me if I misread it somehow?

The way I read it is: it's the actual patch used for non-scrotal skin that allows for increased permeation of its product into the skin and hence, increased absorption. Read the conclusion, it explains it all pretty clearly. ;)
I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005

I had absolutely no incentive or inclination for researching this topic as much as I did as it means little to me and I only fell into this pit because of the absurdity of a person placing hormone patches on their penis, and yet after 800 years of faffing about I finally learned how to gain access to full research articles by using sci-hub. Which makes this all worth it.
