I think masturbation temporarily raises T levels but on the other hand I think ejaculation lowers them. How's that for a seemingly contradictory statement...?<br> <br> Androgel works great until your endogenous levels drop out...which is when you will need to increase your dose to make up for your losses. Do not believe anybody that tells you your levels will not be suppressed. My doctor (Dr. Kryger in Monterey, California) misled me in this regard and I am still paying the price.
