It was hard to get an erection, but it wasn’t hard enough. Is this just a mental issue or is the physical causing some of the psych problems? You are a year older and an 84. I can’t go away a little if you don’t use it..
For some people, the sexual drive is the type of thing that you use it or you lose it. For other people taking a break from it for a year or more wouldn’t make a difference. Maybe 84 the first choice happens. If you force yourself to do it a few times, your desire for more probably will come back.

My testosterone was only about 280 for the 10 years before prostate treatments and after treatment only recovered to 122 from which it continued to drop to 111 over the next 9 months. I was diagnosed as hypogonadal both before and after prostate cancer radiation and Lupron, so my urologist prescribed 5 mg every 2 weeks. In 3 weeks, I will find out if this low level of testosterone is adequate or not. I have read that 25 mg every 2 weeks is common for hypogonadal men. No firm erections with the 5 mg dosage but my Lupron side effects went away in the first week of TRT.
