[QUOTE="eddie1968, post: 1223633, member: 108082"] I experienced an unusual phenomenon at 44 which was I totally lost interest in sex and women very suddenly and persisted for a long time. It even contributed to a break up of a relationship. I also had problems getting/maintaining an erection and couldn't achieve an orgasm. I was tried on sildafenil but didn't do much and was referred to a Consultant Urologist. I had two first thing in the morning blood tests to check my Testosterone levels which turned out to be extremely low. I was started on Tostran 2% testosterone gel (can only be prescribed by a consultant) and used it for 3 years and my levels returned to normal and all my sexual dysfunction disappeared. Turned out to be a very easy fix but took ages for me to even mention it to my GP, felt like a confessional but he treated me like a man and was really good and supportive. My Urologist said it is common in diabetics. Well I can now get back to Saturday Night Fever antics lol. :):rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
