Is it harmful to continue having sex when undertaking HT? I’m told HT is designed to reduce testosterone. I’ve not had RT yet.
Hi Cody, I don't think it's harmful but it can become more difficult. I was on HT for three years and I completely lost all or any interest in sex. It can also cause some degree of erectile dysfunction for some but you can get help for these problems if you are one of the unfortunate ones to experience these side effects. Looking on the bright side not everyone gets the same side effects so I wish you the best of luck with this and also any future treatment.
Kind regards Reg
Hi
You will be fine. That said the longer I was on HT the less I was interested and after 2 years ( as been said already) I'm not remotely interested.
Hope you have better luck.
Regards
Stuart
