> the fastest way to raise your testosterone levels is to get a new girlfriend.
I hope this is less bleak than it reads.
If you are already in a healthy and happy relationship is hope you’d stay rather than seek a ‘new’ relationship solely to manipulate your T levels.
If you are instead implying that a single person should ‘get a new’ relationship I would hope you would get into that relationship for other reasons than to manipulate your T levels.
Unless I suppose you lead with that and both people are into it?
I want to note that ‘girlfriend’ is an unnecessary specificity.
Most of the literature simply refers to ‘sexual activity’.
Also, the link between sexual activity and Testosterone is rather varied.
Most of the literature tests on older populations where it is already widely known that age reduces T levels.
Also, there is still debate on which is the cause.
Some say less sex leads to low T levels. Some say low T leads to less sex. Others suggest it is feedback loop.
Either way it seems the results tend to peak and be short lived.
But anyone with an otherwise healthy, functioning, body is guaranteed through exercise and a varied healthy diet to set up their body for optimal Testosterone maintenance.
I think it was a tongue in cheek comment about how a man’s brain has a huge influence over their testosterone levels. Men see their testosterone levels drop after being in a relationship for a while, and drop further when they have children. Although, I guess it could be argued that they are likely having less sex in these situations.
Look, I agree with almost everything we’ve both said in this discussion. I even created a website that shows my agreement (http://max-testosterone.com - not designed to make money, rather to market the domain name which is for sale). I think I just didn’t like the phrase “testosterone maintenance”, implying it’s something that’s broken that can be fixed. For most men, low testosterone can’t be dramatically improved (double or triple) by simply improving their diet.
