My God, laco, doc, sicet and blue….your combined statements are blowing my mind!
Do we willfully take drugs to suppress our T, knowing the side effects will be horrible? That we may not even want to live being on them?
Or in some bizarre way are we happier that we are no longer salivating hound dogs fixated on the opposite sex? That we no longer feel the inexorable urge to log out from our workpage and log in to PornHub? Some marriages have been destroyed by this behavior.

ADT drugs can ruin any shread of a positive attude attempt. I heard that one of the past members of my local support group blew his brains out. Could not tolerate the HORRORS of Lupron any longer. The HORRORS of Lupron yet again rears its ugly head.
