I know I am not only one who gets morning wood. It never really went away even at my heaviest. Since I have been losing weight I have noticed the return of "wet dreams". I haven't had this since I was in high school. I may need to bother the wife for more than once per week. Anyone else experiencing this?

I can not testify to the exact items you're experiencing, but definitely an increased libido. Good luck with bothering the wife.

Fat turns testosterone into estrogen. Estrogen is not good for men. Low testosterone is not good for men.

Before weight loss surgery, my total testosterone was just over 300 ng/dl. Per this page, you can see that this is WAYYY too low for a guy my age (40-ish at the time, 40 now). Now that I've lost 80 pounds, without doing ANYTHING else, without getting shots or the patch or anything, my last testosterone measurement was 550 ng/dl. This is still slightly below median, but I'm still fat! And even so, I've nearly DOUBLED my testosterone levels, simply by losing weight. No herbs, no pills, no "Extenze," nothing, just fat loss.

And yes, morning wood and libido have come back with a vengeance -- there's a direct correlation, because the morning tends to be when our testosterone levels peak, which is also related to getting a good night's sleep, which is ALSO connected to, you guessed it, obesity. So YES, losing weight will bring back the "little guy" in the morning, and I could even see it causing wet dreams if it made your T spike high enough.

Enjoy it! It probably won't stay spiked forever (our bodies tend to downregulate unusually high T levels back to "normal" eventually), but it should be fun times (for you AND your wife) while it lasts

ARF! I had to laugh when I read this - NOT at you guys! I woke up with a raging woody this morning, first time in a long time!

I got checked for testosterone 6 months ago, pre-surgery and was at 150 ng/dl !!! I started on injections twice a month. My voice deepend, facial hair is thicker and libido went through the roof (my poor wife!). I just went back for a 6 month blood test, this after loosing 85+ pounds. I am going back to the doc to see the results tomorrow.

Any of you guys on Blood Pressure meds prior to weight loss? I went on them for about 8 months prior to my surgery. That seemed to diminish the morning wood and keep things from their full potential. I was glad to see things return to normal shortly after surgery and no more meds. BTW, I am 2 weeks shy of 49, I am just glad at my age, I still have it.
