QA006 Extreme Sex Drive and Infidelity From Testosterone Therapy?




The Marriage Podcast for Smart People show

Summary: This week, we have a question from one of our audience members who wanted clarity on her expectations around side effects of her husband’s testosterone therapy.<br> “What experience do you have with testosterone therapy for men? I believe part of the cause of my husbands infidelity is due to to much testosterone pellets and an excessive need for sex. I do not excuse him for one minute for the devastation he caused. think If that is going to be an available treatment for a medical condition some kind of information and counseling should be required as to how you will feel.<br> We are 2-1/2 years past D day finding out of multiple hookups just for sex. We’d been married for 36 years!!! He is 59 and I am 57 right now. I credit my faith in keeping this altogether with out telling anyone or counselling. Not a great idea after the fact. He’s moved on from the infidelities and I still struggle at times.<br> Q2: I guess I’m trying to understand if testosterone can make you impulsive and have the need to have sex in abundance. I feel you should be in control if your self, but if you are on the high end of the testosterone scale 1200-1500 can it change you ? I do know hormones are powerful and make you feel all sorts of things.”<br> Listen to the podcast episode for Caleb’s answer!<br> This week, we have a question from one of our audience members who wanted clarity on her expectations around side effects of her husband’s testosterone therapy.<br> “What experience do you have with testosterone therapy for men?
