Testosterone mainly supports libido and erectile function, but it does not directly increase Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time (typically about 5 to 7 minutes) because ejaculation timing is largely a serotonin-mediated neurological reflex. Low testosterone can still make you feel like you are finishing “too fast” by destabilizing erections and creating a rush-to-finish pattern. Here is ...

Here’s who’s most likely to benefit, ...

Evidence-based testosterone replacement therapy is most likely to help men who have consistent low‑T symptoms plus repeatedly low morning testosterone, confirmed with solid lab testing.
