Their brain is disconnected from their endogenous testosterone production in their testes. 43:52 SARM (selective androgen receptor modulator) from the internet is junk. 49:14 Men on testosterone have less prostate cancer than men who are not. 54:25 Older men with low T die earlier. 01:02:12 Sexual drugs Melanotan II and PT- 141 stimulate receptors in the brain, causing spontaneous erections in men. The brain may adjust to PT-141 and destroys the ability to have an erection.
