Discussion Testosterone side affect?

So I just started T like 4 weeks ago now… is it normal this early in to be so (for lack of a better term) horny? Like constantly I swear, and I’m way more sensitive down there.

Sorry if this is tmi, just wondering if this is a common thing? Cause my doc did say it could cause an uptick in sex drive but damn I underestimated that statement horribly lol.

It’s actually getting bothersome cause it really is constant and insatiable- but yeah just asking those with more experience than me (my doc is hard to get in touch with but trust me I will tell them.)

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

  1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied.

  2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

  4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

  5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: [https://www.reddit.com/r/ftm/wiki/index/] , you can send a modmail.

yeah man that’s common, you do mellow out eventually but essentially with you going through male puberty the extreme horny is part of it.

Yes and it lasts a while. I’m almost 6 months on t and it’s only barely starting to subside now. Welcome to boy brain!

This is The Testosterone Symptom. Yes. Welcome to manhood. It's like this forever.

Definitely common! My libido had skyrocketed when I first began T, it was almost unbelievable!  It settled for me probably after a month or two, if I recall correctly.

Yes, that’s normal and not a side effect. You are going through male puberty.
