In a normal functional male (with normal to high normal
testosterone levels), who has no libido or ED problems he can get an erection without problem and keep it. However after ejaculation/orgasms he usually can't get hard again for a short while (to even a day for some men). After orgasm, prolactin goes up and fundamentally lowers testerone i believe? The HPTA must somewhat 'down regulate' on it's own then build back up again over the refractory period.
This leads me to some questions:
1) When on
TRT, does orgasm/ejaculation (or even just erections) use up the available T and do we extrete a reserve of hormones due to orgasm? Does our body still keep a hormonal reserve in the prostate (i believe)? I have heard from various sources that orgasm is good for us to release excess hormones.
2) Does
testosterone lower due to the piturity signaling the release of prolactin while on
TRT? Or does T still remain high throughout? Would this mean getting hard again within a few minutes? Does
TRT effect the refractory period for example?
3) Do higher levels of testosterone effect orgasm quality and intensity?
Thanks again for all the input.
