    Only if they already have enough testosterone, if they don’t have enough and increase it to natural levels, it does.

      Also when your testosterone is low and then spikes up for whatever reason, the horniness is actually insane.

      Don’t ask me how I know.

        I have kleinfelter syndrome… When I started TRT and they hadn’t dialed in my dosage. Ho-boy is this comment accurate.

        Edit: Now that I think back it wasn’t the testosterone that sent my libido into overdrive it was the fact that my body was converting the excess testosterone into estrogen. Because when they started me on Tamoxifen it managed to reign my libido in, and when they switched me to Anastrazole it brought my libido down to normal levels. “Normal” being equivalent to that of a teenager, my wife comes to bed only after I’ve gone to sleep and she erects a pillow wall between us.

        Which is a misleading title, clickbait, getting you to click to find out what you already knew.

          The title of an article isn’t meant to 100% precisely list all facts. It’s reasonable to assume readers are able to infer “Increasing testosterone levels [beyond normal levels] does not increase sex drive”.
