My therapist says my first step is to stop pathologizing myself. So I'm putting having moderately low testosterone as first on the list of things about me that are not pathological. :p

What happens if she uses the wand on me? FYI (Well I guess the whole thread is FMI but anyway) Here's the first reasonable thing I've read on this "Low T" issue (from http://www.auanet.org/common/pdf/education/clinical-guidance/Testosterone-Deficiency-WhitePaper.pdf): [A] consensus statement...

:D Tell that to my wife.

I logged back on to MyChart today, and my total testosterone was 366 ng/dL in the morning and 281 ng/dL in the afternoon. According to the lab the low end of the range is 175, but, yeah, everything else I'm reading says 300 is low. Also, I'm only 30 years old. Now should I consider if that's...

I did have them checked when I was interested in possible physiological causes of depression. My level was in the lower end of the range, but not abnormal. (Turns out my vitamin D level was abnormally low, though.) I did not think SZ's comment was irrelevant. Apparently lack of variety in...

I don't feel like I have the wrong genitalia; I feel like I've had the wrong childhood in the wrong society. I like my dick. Of course, it's clear I'm in denial about a lot of things, so who knows?

The former? I could probably fill a book on the other topic, but it seems like there's a better spot for the tachycardia show starring tachycardia. I'm probably going to be hanging at Susan's more than here for a while. Maybe I'll end up back on these boards in the event I decide to...

Well, after a whole lot of soul searching, it turns out I'm transgender. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. :confused:

No problem! After I'd create it I did think maybe I should have phrased the post title differently, but it was too late. Anyway, thanks for your participation and interest.

Dude, "intercourse" appears twice in the poll choices and twenty-nine times in my first post explaining the question! The poll choices are limited to one hundred characters. :rolleyes:

Wow, I thought I was pretty specific this time! Unprotected penile-vaginal intercourse would be the insertion of a penis into a vagina with no barrier such as a male or female latex condom between them. Unprotected penile-anal intercourse would be the insertion of a penis into an anus with no...

Yes.

If you had sex with A and then had sex with B, but then did not have sex with A again, and neither A nor B told you about concurrent sex with anyone else, let's call your relationships monogamous. If you had sex with A and then had sex with B, and then had sex with A again, but A did not know...

Yeah, maybe that's part of the reason my last poll flopped. I've gathered that there are a lot of different arrangements, which is why I made this one very specific. I mean, for a while my wife and I had an agreement that if someone had negative test results, then barrier-free cunnilingus was...

The previous twelve months going back from today.

I'm primarily interested in HIV risk, and oral sex has an HIV transmission rate of less than 1 per 10,000 exposures. Of course, there are a host of other infections you can get from oral sex. Maybe starting another poll where oral sex was included would be interesting, but I felt it would...

I recently created a poll asking how long it takes people to consider having unprotected sex with someone who has multiple sexual partners, and it started a lively discussion, but the temporal premise of the poll was flatly rejected. I guess I should have known better to offer polyamorists an...

Thanks for the link, NYCindie. It's quite interesting. It reminds me a lot of chapter 21 of Sex at Dawn (Link). I do think my previous strategy for battling "monotony" was "#2: porn and Prozac" (or Wellbutrin in my case, to clarify that drug side effects are not at play here.) However, I think...

So do Runic Wolf and/or Wendigo have unprotected sex with anyone else?

It's possible this is a factor with me. I do watch some "overloading" styles of pornography. Maybe I'll try cutting it out too...
