lanky said:I dont have the same feelings towards androgel as the rest of the EF members..i believe it to be a effective route for testosterone replacement,,and more importantly it is non invasive compared to an injection, and no adverse liver issues compared to an oral...i have seen seen total testosterone levels in the 800ng/dl range from 5g Androgel a day...yes there is risk of transfer to family members,,but this can be reduced by letting the gel dry for a longer period of time before skin to skin contact with GF/wife(ie..dont apply and two minutes later have sex with wife/GF while chest is dripping with testosterone gel,,if you do this everyday there is a risk she will develope virilized features,,again a single episode of contact would probably not do harm,,but if you have sex with your wife everyday before work 2 minutes after a chest application of androgel,,you may see issues,,or maybe an increase in libido for her..lol ,,I digress) or hugging your children or other object transfer..and the whole raised DHT issue from topical/transdermal,,that was mainly seen with the scrotal patch where local 5 alpha reductase levels are high.
Important note, if you must have sex after application of Androgel, make sure you hit it doggy.
