The range for "normal" testosterone levels is very large/wide because it is covering males between the age of 14-90+. The "normal" range is 249-1149 for total testosterone, but where a male falls in that range and what is "normal" for him depends on his age. For men between the ages of 36-40, the normal, healthy total testosterone level is 650-700, but at 38, as long as you aren't falling below 600, you should be fine. Some docs will tell you to look at your "free" testosterone where sex drive is concerned, which is true, but if your total testosterone is falling below where your normal range is, then your body will dip into the free testosterone for things like energy levels, metabolism, muscle health, joint health/function, heart health, mood, etc. These are all of the things that testosterone is responsible for, in addition to sex drive and erectile function. The idea is really to have BOTH levels where they should be, but if you are going to put more weight on either, look at your total testosterone. This is truly what governs everything, and leaves the rest open and available for sex drive and erectile function.
