Related to oxytocin, this one caught my eye because of the name - kisspeptin - no personal experience with it. Just interesting.

I would be concerned if someone wanted to increase their dogās libido.

There are no shortcuts - proper nutrition/diet, exercise - especially weightlifting, proper sleep and healthy relationships. Itās all or none game. Itās like those people that ask how to lose their belly fatā¦ they will get the same answer.

I understand and agree with the rest of them, but I wonder how a healthy relationship would help one sexually. For me thereās nothing more arousing than physical appearance of a woman (meaning when they are sexy and hot), but maybe thatās because I tend to be visual. Even if I didnāt like a womanās personality, but she is hot, I still find them very arousing, so I donāt think a healthy relationship means much for men like me. On the other hand, a healthy relationship is good for long term relationships and marriage.
Healthy relationships can mean many things, but more specifically for you and your partner it means it is free of psychological or physical abuse (fetish exception) and it is consensual whether it is a long or short term relationship. This should be quite obvious but there are many subtle forms of those that certainly can affect the libido especially on the female side.
Frankly, I havenāt met any healthy physically and mentally males that in to fitness and healthy life style that had issues with libido.

Well that may be true in your case (you havenāt seen someone with healthy lifestyle and exercising thar had libido issues) but I had a supervisor (when i was working part time while going to college) and the dude told me he couldnāt get it up if you paid him $1M dollars, and his girlfriend at a time was going nuts. The Dude was huge with muscles galore but I think he was doing stuff like HGH etc. and he told me his testicles are those of a third grader lol. ever since you bet I was very careful not to take any enhancing substances. After all whatās the point of having big muscles if you got no balls (so to speak) , 
but i get your point, a healthy lifestyle definitely helps in more ways than one.

It makes sense that libido would be a marker of health and sufficient resources. Otherwise the body would sayā¦letās not make babies right now.
Certainly there are other issues such as boredom with available partners (not up to porn standards or whatever). It all goes into the āis it worth the effortā calculationā¦

Nah, itās just a marker of old age. And I kind of look at it as a good thing. My wife died and I am a widower. If I had a high libido it would be like starving and standing outside of a bakery window looking, but without having any money.

A dementia patient with an uncontrollable libido could raise certain problems for the caregivers.

I tried PT141 the last weeks. 0,5mg is the best dose for me ( 1mg gives me to much nausea, 0,3 mg is to low a dose and still gives me some nauseaā¦). For me personally it doesnāt really increase desire, but it reinforces the connection between a sexual thought and an erection a lot.
Brain injury patients too.
I played around with oxandrolone/Anavar (25-50mg/day) for about a week, and it strongly increases not only libido, but also āgameā. Smooth talking, physical contact, and escalation become way more natural. Small sample size (1 first date on it), but it went all the way.
Itās widely reported that Anavar increases libido, but the problem is it will suppress your HPG axis (although apparently not as quickly or strongly as other oral AAS), so unless you use a testosterone base (as a guy, at least), it probably will lower libido with chronic use.
Iām not sure if this libido increase is due to Anavarās downregulation of SHBG (which would lead to an increase in free testosterone), or direct agonism at androgen receptors. Either way, Iām already fairly convinced that increasing androgen receptor signaling is the best way to enhance your sex life as a guy.
Or just go straight to tadalafil
Do you find taladafil increases libido, apart from any increase in sexual function? Because most of what Iāve read suggests little, if any, effect on libido from PDE5iās. I found sildenafil to have no effect on libido, although I havenāt tried taladafil.
What about selegiline?
Iāve read lots of tranylcypromine reports, and although it seems that acutely it can go either direction, it does seem that long-term treatment generally reduces libido.
Iād imagine this would hold true for selegiline, although in general selegiline seems to be much less perceptible than tranylcypromine. I found that the first day I tried selegiline (2.5mg sublingual) it was very perceptible and stimulating, and combination with alcohol led to a very warm and open state. However, doses in the days that followed produced no such effect. This is line with the reports Iāve read that suggest acute dosing may be perceptible, but that long-term administration generally is not.

Gods sake. Youāre less than 30 years old. If you didnāt already have a high libido there would be something wrong with you.
I donāt think you are a great endorsement for oxandolone.

Itās all relative. While my libido might be normal for a 30 y.o, Iād still like it to be higher.
Anyways, itās not really meant as an endorsementājust sharing my experience. Iāve wanted to know how I might feel on higher levels of testosterone, and this was an easy way to test the waters.
I actually just hit my left delt with 75mg testosterone cypionate. Planning to inject eod which comes out to 260mg/week. This should be enough to put on a good 15lbs even after PCT, which is one my goals regardless, plus Iāll get to see if testosterone āoptimizationā therapy would even be worth it.
In a vacuum probably this isnāt the healthiest decision, but I view this as a calculated risk that might allow me to make huge progress in my personal life.

I donāt think tadalafil does, or at least, it doesnāt for me.
When I tried testosterone cypionate, it definitely did!

Are you saying you were trying anavar for anabolism and libido was just a side effect, or did you try it for libido specifically? Thatās interesting because guys typically turn to proviron or Masterson for low-side effect libido help when on TRT or a cruise.
Of course, tren is infamous for out of control libido, but itās in a different category of itās own.

Anavar is one of the more mild oral AAS, while also having positive psychological effects for many people. I tried it because I was interested in the psychological effects, which were quite acutely noticeable for me. It wouldnāt have made sense for anabolism as I wasnāt on a test base.
2 weeks into the test cyp cycle and Iāve already went from a trough of 192lbs to 198lbs. I think if I run it for 16 weeks I can get to 220-225lbs, which is my target weight. Not sure yet if Iāll sprinkle the Anavar in. If I do it will be sparingly, as I donāt want to put more strain on my hair than necessary. Already doubled finasteride dose (1mg->2mg) and probably will add in topical pyrilutamide in the coming days.
