You know, erections begin in the brain. That’s right. Sexy stimulations come in through the senses—the eyes, the fingers, the nose, the mouth—but all those sexy stimulations fall flat if there aren’t adequate levels of testosterone in the brain. That’s right. Testosterone is the male hormone that’s made in the testicles and it circulates all throughout the bloodstream, and it has a variety of very important functions from muscle mass, bone density, the immune system, even longevity. But perhaps its most important function is erections. So, with normal levels of testosterone, all those sexy stimulations cause nerve signals in the brain to coalesce, and then go down the spine to the penis. There, those signals trigger blood vessels to open up, and blood rushes in to the chambers of the penis, filling them up, elongating them, making them wider, and then harder and harder—kind of like pumping up a bicycle tire. And testosterone plays a role below the belt as well, because with testosterone, those blood vessels are conditioned, and they can be more elastic and open up more, allowing for better erections. And when testosterone level is low, those blood vessels become a bit hardened, a bit fibrotic, and they don’t open up as well, and it interferes with the erection. Testosterone is also important in conditioning the skin and nerves of the penis. Very important nerves, I might add. And when the testosterone is low, the sensation just isn’t as intense, and to maintain that erection, you need a reflex of that stimulation—those nerves and the skin of the penis, giving you a reflex for more stimulation to the blood vessels filling the penis back up. So when a guy’s testosterone level is low, he doesn’t have that “on” switch in the brain, and the blood vessels and the nerves of the penis just aren’t working at full speed. So, fortunately, testosterone can be replaced straightforwardly and safely, but it must be done under the supervision of a doctor, and it really should only be used in cases where a guy’s testosterone is actually low, verified by blood tests. Testosterone is not a medication that’s going to make you a superman. If your levels are normal, adding more testosteroone will not do you any good, and in fact, it just shuts off your body’s own natural production. Furthermore, if you’re trying to raise a family, don’t go on testosterone ‘cause it does shut off sperm. Hopefully this has been informative and perhaps helpful for those of you who perhaps suffer from low testosterone. Please continue to follow me on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
