Re: Testosterone gel - scrotum application

August 26, 2008

Hi. In reply to application of T to genitals: I go to an anti aging clinic in

WA state. They prescribe T cream which is compounded at a local pharmacy.

Instructions for use are to apply to 1) inner thighs, 2) scrotum and 3)

genitals. But those are listed as three levels of application. I was applying

to thighs and scrotum at one point when doctor thought T levels as indicated in

labs was getting too high, so I was asked to stop applying to scrotum, and to

apply to thighs only. Now I am back on application to thighs, scrotum and

genitals (meaning penis) at doctors direction. Direct application to scrotum

and penis definitely increases the immediate effect of the T, both

physiologically and emotionally.

Testosterone gel - scrotum application

Hi folks,

I was wondering if anyone had ever tried applying Testosterone (or

DHT) gel to their scrotum/penis as I have read application to the

scrotum is up to 40 times more potent than elsewhere in the body - as

mentioned in this study posted on you tube (5 parts)- link:

http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=961NuUlC_ RI & feature= related

This effect if apparently due to the increased androgen receptors in

this area. However, the manufacturers all say not to apply TRT

gel/cream to this area but does anyone know why not to apply to this

area??

I would assume it is to prevent DHT levels being too high and

therefore affecting the prostate and hence possible prostate cancer

issues and/or possible priapism - but thats just my guess.

Also when doing google search on Testosterone and more so DHT cream +

application to phallus/scrotum numerous studies appear supporting

this use to increase penis size - noteably for prepubescent males.

Link to just one of these studies:

http://www.pubmedce ntral.nih. gov/articlerende r.fcgi?artid= 1793798

There are also similar studies supporting phallus growth (but to much

lesser extent) with use of DHT cream in adults over period of few

months. Whether any studies have been done on hypogonadyl men in

particular I'm not sure.

I would be interested in hearing anyone else's view on this - in

particular the safety of TRT gel application to scrotum area? and

whether or not anyone knows of any evidence supporting the fact that

androgen receptor levels are higher in hypogonadyl men compared to

non-hypogonadyl adult? men as I notice on few other forum's many guys

have claimed to have done this but the benefits/risks remain a bit of

a mystery.

I`ve tried application at different sites, and penis and scrotum have

up and down sides.

I don't believe for a second that this will make me longer, bigger,

stronger in any way from a phalic point of view. I can see this

having an effect on delayed pubecense but I don't think that there is

much to be done once you have achieved full development. There is

enough malarchy out there on the subject, you be your own judge, but

if growth has finished, I somehow don't think you will get much

change.

It does however seem to absorb better from the penis and scrotum, and

it is easier for me to shave my upper thighs than to keep my chest

shaved. Not to mention that putting gel on my upper thighs makes it

easier to reduce incidental contact with my GF. Putting it on the

genitals means I should however make certain to wash or shower before

sex.

If you do choose to put some there, I hope that you do not also shave

or trim too much, as these gels are highly alcohol based. It's a

little like soaking your face in rubbing alcohol right after shaving,

except that the burning feeling can last 30 to 60 minutes and

sometimes longer. I would suggest being very careful in this respect.

I would also suggest that you get some labs done after trying it for

a week or two just to make certain you are not overdoing it. If the

absorbtion is better, you might want to use a little less than

normal. The goal after all is stable acceptable numbers in the upper

third of the range, not three times normal juiced up body builder

numbers...

Good luck and play safe :-)

Hi Randy

Some good info - thanks. I personally would not put gel on scrotum

area just because of he fear factor with prostate cancer issues but

have no doubt the absorption is better due to higher androgen levels.

some guys so claim to have some increase in phallus when applying

cream there over period of few months but I doubt this myself.

Think creams would appear better than gels anyway due to lesser

amount needed but don't know of any creams (excluding creams from

compounding pharmacies) on the market yet - macrochem cream at link

below looks promising

Hi must say very supriseed this was instructions as prescribed (maybe

anti-ging clinics are less prudent than GPs - no doubt) as not heard

of that being the case before through other forums but loads of guys

seem to at least try applying gels to scrotum. Not suprised either

your levels were too high to begin with since supposedly meant to be

up to 40 times more androgen receptors in this area.

Also I would probably not apply to that area in case of contact

during sex unless of course you shower before having sex.
