I've never really had a high sex drive, or one at all of big significance - I guess. I'm not sure.

I view YouTube vids of people 1, 2, 3 etc weeks, months& years on testosterone and they always mention their sex drive: how their libido has sky-rocketed and all that jazz.

I've thought about sex once in a blue moon but that has been always - just because.

If I never have sex again I wouldn't lose any sleep. The idea of sexual beings are "cool," I suppose. I mean, women are nice to look at, or if someone I find attractive is around I'll take notice but other than that, no interest.

I was talking to a friend and just became severely bored about our conversation about sex& women. I feel like I'm missing out by not craving sex.

I've given before but I'm indifferent, which is weird to admit.
Sound familiar to anyone, anyone at all?

Just because the libido boost happens for some or even the majority doesn't mean it happens for everyone.  It could also be that you've not been on T for very long and thus some of the effects have obviously yet to be seen.

My libido didn't increase at first either, I was worried it wasn't going to happen. It never skyrocketed for me, which is why I didn't notice it for a few months, it gradually increased.

Have you gotten your levels checked?

  There are plenty of other reasons you could feel this way, but it is important that you know your levels before saying, "oh, this is just the type of person I am...no big deal". The goal of HRT is to have your levels be in the range of normal male levels as taking testosterone will override the female levels of estrogen in your body. If you are a young adult male, an acceptable range would be around 600-1000 total. If you are not in that age range, between 450-800 total probably be okay. However, some men claim they aren't even capable of functioning normally (such as developing abnormal sleep patterns, losing ability to become "aroused", becoming moody, feeling lethargic, lack of motivation to do things they enjoy, etc...) losing in if their levels are lower than 500; if your body is dominated by testosterone and you're not even sure if your levels are 400 total, this may be the problem. If you are on a low dosage (and hopefully you know this dosage cannot be publicly discussed on the forums) or at least a dosage that is lower than your body needs, it's important that you have this addressed, esp if you have been on testosterone for a few months now.

  If you know what your levels are and this is not issue then none of what I said here actually matters, but I figured it was worth mentioning just in case. >_<

Maybe you're asexual?  Not everyone is interested in sex.  I don't feel like my sex drive has increased much from pre-T, it certainly hasn't skyrocketed or become unbearable.  If I never had sex again I probably wouldn't be happy, but right now I don't have much interest.  If it increases, it increases; if it doesn't, it doesn't.  Unless that really bothers you, don't sweat it.  Everyone is different.  :)

Hey don't worry about it at all! I've been on T just over a year now and my sex drive is still practically nonexistant. But I don't mind in the slightest — it gives me space to focus on other more productive things ;]

I guess everybody's different! Maybe you're just waiting for the right person, who knows?

I've been on T for about the same time, and I feel like my sex drive has gone up a lot, but I was pretty oversexed to begin with. Everybody's different, and I'm sure you're totally normal.

Jason's advice notwithstanding. You should keep that in mind, too.

I'm glad I read this and the responses.  That was one of my concerns (libido increasing).  I have zero sex drive and I like it that way; I don't want it to change.  Since I've always had zero sex drive I was sure how I was going to respond mentally with an increased libido.
It's hard to see through clouds of grey in a world full of Black and White.

Yeah pretty much what everyone else said; everyone is different. Just because most people experience increased libido doesn't necessarily mean that you will, so don't  fret :).

Personally I'm 9 weeks on T and my libido is through the roof o.O . It was pretty bad pre-t though. . .
