How Low T Can Affect Sexual Performance & Masturbation

Low testosterone can affect every aspect of your sexuality, including self-stimulation. Get the answers you need.
Men’s sexual worries regarding low testosterone or low T typically center on their desire and ability to perform with a partner, but experts say low T also can affect a man’s interest in and enjoyment of masturbation.
Low T can strike at the heart of a man’s sex drive, and with the loss of that sex drive comes declined interest in any form of sexual activity, including self-stimulation.
You have diminished libido,”It has to do with sexual desire, the physiological tingles you get. You’re going to be less interested in looking at sexually arousing things, you’re going to be less inclined to masturbate, and you’re going to be less inclined to seek out a woman for sexual satisfaction.”
Research has linked low T to a lack of interest in masturbation. For example, a 2002 study published in the International Journal of Impotence Research found that men who had low T reported less frequent masturbation than men with higher hormone levels.
However, libido has been shown to improve after medical treatment for low T. A 2004 study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that hormone replacement therapy using testosterone renewed men’s interest in all forms of sexual activity, including masturbation.
Low T and Sex Drive
Lack of sexual desire is the main warning sign when it comes to low T’s effect on sexuality.
“Individuals lose their interest in sexuality and sexual drive, and it affects different people in a spectrum of ways, If testosterone is low enough and sexual interest is impaired, they may lose all aspects of sexual drive, both with themselves and with partners.”
This effect mainly has to do with testosterone’s effect on the sexual response triggers inside the human brain. “It does this primarily by acting on the brain. “Arousal is a central nervous system mediated event, and the more complex in the animal, the more sophisticated it becomes.”
Erectile dysfunction during masturbation is another potential warning sign of low T. It may become difficult to achieve erection, or erections may not be as potent. However, a lack of desire remains the major warning sign for low T.
Getting Checked for Low T
Warning : A man should not assume that he has low T simply because he’s lost interest in masturbation or other sexual activity. “There are many factors that can lead to decreased sexual desire as well as difficulty with erection and masturbation. So, it is important to get an accurate testosterone level before assuming the low sexual desire.
