I see this more and more in the fitness community of people thinking it is perfectly normal to be on TRT after 30. I personally think it's insane, a normal heal

  Decline in T causes you to become more sensitive to stress with respect to erectile function. It’s entirely possible that both are correct. A sixteen year old going through puberty with hormones through the roof has no problem getting it up, stress or not (even when they don't want it, as every teenage boy knows). A 30 or 40 year old will have lower T levels, enough so that psychological issues can take the forefront and cause ED. It is still fair to ask if raising T levels can cause them to still perform while working stressful jobs, as we all have to do.

  Normal and healthy are different. In an environment full of xenoestrogens, TRT is possibly the only way to attain “normal” levels of T measured against a non-xenoestrogenic environment. That doesn’t imply it’s a good idea, but it might imply you should do it anyway. Or, to put that another way: in an environment that causes >20% of the population to be near-sighted, are glasses “normal”? Are they “healthy”? Do either of these questions even make sense? The real questions there, of course, are whether nearsightedness is “normal” and/or “healthy.” And so: is having (diagnosed) low testosterone normal? Healthy?
