What Testosterone Won't Do

Men suffering from menopausal symptoms have had to suffer in silence for quite a while; there was hardly any one who believed that male menopause was a true phenomenon! In the last few years the study and science of male menopause has really come a long way. There are now groundbreaking studies being conducted, exciting and wonderful alternative medicinal advances, and, if you are on HRT (hormone replacement therapy, in other words, testosterone) there is new information and methods for dosing. If you are already on HRT, we don't have to tell you about its advantages, so we thought you and others contemplating therapy, should know the following facts.

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WON'T DO FOR YOU: It won't make you an automatic hit with the ladies. Now let's face it, the only way pretty young girls are going to wind up beating a path to your door was if Johnny Depp happens to be visiting you for the weekend!

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WILL DO: Testosterone will give you noticeably more strength and give you more endurance at the gym, so you can really whittle down those extra inches that male menopause has put on your waistline. Your mood will improve so you won't be working on those old man creases on the side of your mouth. Give the girls a smile and see if they smile back!

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WON'T DO FOR YOU: It won't turn you overnight into a male icon of classic cool like Humphrey Bogart or Clark Gable.

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WILL DO: It can help to improve your memory so you could try some of Bogart's best world-weary lines on your next date. A trench coat wouldn't hurt, either. It will help to lighten your mood so you won't "Give a damn!"

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WON'T DO FOR YOU: It probably won't help you to write beautiful love songs to sing to your sweetheart or to play the guitar as well as Lennon and McCartney did.

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WILL DO: Maybe so, but at least, with your improved mood and reduced mood-swings you won't scare your sweetheart into thinking that you're Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde.

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WON'T DO FOR YOU: Testosterone or no, you're very unlikely to get to realize your dream of being a Major League Baseball player.

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WILL DO: With your increased aerobic capacity and increased fun capacity, you can make a damn fine Little League Baseball coach!

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WON'T DO FOR YOU: It won't make you a famous lover like Rudolf Valentino.

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WILL DO: It will help to even out your skin tone, so you won't be confused with Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WON'T DO FOR YOU: You have always wanted to be a famous magician and work in the exciting world of magic, sawing girls in half and making tigers disappear. Now that you are middle-aged, there isn't enough time left to learn amazing tricks; you don't even have enough time to wave a magic wand!

WHAT TESTOSTERONE WILL DO: Well, uh, yes you do, and your girlfriend will love you for it. Anyway, you can always learn magic in your spare time.
