CP, if someone asks, "isn't POIS just psychosomatic?", what would you tell them?

sometimes I feel out of pois when in fact a long physical work or stress is enough to bring me back in the real world.
we realize that nobody really knows why your testosterone is low and how to restore your own production naturally. To me this sounds very medieval..
every time I found something which is improving libido, my pois was a lot stronger after, that's why I'm a bit reticent.
I would have to say my other posts of relora being the "cure", i noticed what it was doing to me as soon as i took it, i seemed alot calmer. I O'd 3 times the other day and I have to say the first 2 were fine and the 3rd O was the one that started the whole POIS cycle again. It seemed like the relora was working, maybe if I give it a few months without orgasm-ing and just take relora I would see better results.
Just reading the comments regarding sugar / carbs in excess. I fully agree with this. I notice that when POIS is bad (1 - 2 days after) i REALLY crave sugar and carbs and coffee. Its almost like I cant stop myself. Any other time, I dont eat sweet things. I have noticed however, the more sugar i eat, the worse POIS symptoms get. I feel very hypoglycemic, tired, nervous, anxious, i dont sleep as deeply, i have unrestful sleep.When i FORCE myself to just eat very very clean for a day or two after, it usually only lasts a day or two, but instead its very mild. This just reinforces the idea to me, that this whole thing has to do with adrenals and hormones. Cortisol controls blood sugar, adrenal controls cortisol. Sex is linked to dopamine, high sugar boosts your dopamine. If you have low dopamine levels, you crave things that will boost dopamine levels. Its all interrelated.

To me this sounds very medieval.. I agree that it's low, without knowing why, and without certain restoration knowledge, but I don't understand your "medieval" descriptor. Is that because I'm treating symptoms only? Because it's risky? If that's what you mean, then perhaps, at this stage of my life, waiting 30+ years for an answer, I wanted to stop the POIS circus. Finally.ANY approach has associated risks.Quote from: martin88 on 24/04/2009 15:28:42every time I found something which is improving libido, my pois was a lot stronger after, that's why I'm a bit reticent.Me too, if I'm not careful with excess.
goingcrazy, perhaps you might consider cutting back on the frequency rather than total abstinence for a few months. This way it might prevent building of pent-up frustration, then possibly "exploding" into excess which relora might not help you overcome much. Just a suggestion from past experience.
Like I had said in the past, if I abstain, I get horrible urgrs, if these urges are large enough and long enough I start getting POIS symptoms and have not had a release.... so then I figure I might as well have a release and then I feel even worse..... bad cycle.PS.
