    “The research, which was presented at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Boston, has yet to be peer-reviewed or published in a journal. More research is needed before the drug is finally approved and becomes available for the market.”

    A step in the right direction, but good science takes time and a lot of effort!

    This is not a great option for couples that ever touch eachother.

    Direct skin to skin contact with the area where the combination gel is applied will result in transfer of the testosterone in the study gel to other people. This may result in increased testosterone levels and unwanted side effects to women, children and other men. Special care must be taken to lessen the possibility of transferring testosterone to women (especially pregnant women), children, and other people you may come in close physical (skin to skin) contact with. Therefore, it is important that you and your partner take the necessary precautions to avoid direct skin to skin contact while you are taking part in this study.

      Same. I can’t describe the weight that came off my shoulders. Never having to worry ever again about having an accidental person feels fuckin great!

        It wasn’t bad in my case. Much less pain than say a dental appointment. Sore for longer after, but still not high on the list.
