By now, everyone is aware of the Tuckem's trailer that's gone viral --- mostly to ridicule it for its homoerotic flair. The search for raising men's declining Testosterone (T) levels has been ongoing for decades. But, "tanning, or Red-Lighting" your balls? The Guardian has explained it for us thus:
The testicle tanning, or “red-light” therapy, shown in the video is explained further in an interview Carlson does with a self-proclaimed “bromeotherapy” expert. He claims that by dousing your balls in red LEDs, you can create higher levels of testosterone.
The potential for UV or red light to increase testosterone levels has been quite well documented but there are no peer-reviewed double-blind studies that are able to prove these claims. Testosterone levels also change dramatically throughout the day, and also see dramatic increases from exercise, new sexual partners and changes to diet.
Dousing your balls in too much UV light for too long is not a good idea. Is there anything a guy can do as he ages to help sustain vitality rather than "masculinity?" T levels decrease as we age. Normal levels vary from person to person. Faithful Reader Fullmoonma asked what "normal" is.
According to Premier Men's Medical:
- Children: The first couple of months, a male baby should produce 75-400 ng/dL. By the time he’s 10 to 11 years old, that should change to 7-130 ng/dL.
- Early Teens: Between 12 to 13 years old, a person should have 7-800 ng/dL. But by 15 to 16 years old, the ng/dL should be 100-1,200.
- Late Teens: Anyone between 17 to 18 years old should have testosterone levels between 300 and 1,200 ng/dL.
- Adults: An adult (19 years and older) should have anywhere between 240 and 950 ng/dL.
Sadly, they do not proceed further along the aging process.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced primarily by your adrenal glands. Your adrenal glands sit on top of your kidneys and also produce the hormones cortisol and aldosterone.
Unlike these other hormones, your levels of DHEA decline significantly as you get older. Your levels of DHEA are highest when you’re around the age of 20 and then decline by about 10 percent per decade.
By the time you reach your 70s or 80s, your DHEA levels may only be
DHEA is available in oral and topical supplements. Some people think that it may help slow the aging process, but at this time, there’s not enough evidence to back these claims.
Taking DHEA may have benefits for conditions such as:
However, more high-quality clinical trials need to be performed to fully understand these benefits.

A physician friend "advised me to take daily DHEA, a testosterone precursor, and I’ve been doing that for at least 20 years. The most noticeable effect was a reduction of joint stiffness for activities like walking, but it also coincides with the start of my erotic journal and flowering of my masturbation practice and erotic massage practice."
Bottom line, if you suspect your T levels are low, get the levels tested and talk to your doc about DHEA.

Fucker Carlson is on his way to fulfill a right wing dream: scare idiots into doing something against another imaginary enemy.
But this is full of great info. I had no idea about the decreasing levels of T. Fascinating.
XOXO
The only thing I can tell you is that I hope my libido goes down because it is a bondage. And I think libido is related to testosterone level.
I don't feel concerned, but this is at least an opportunity to wish you an excellent day, my darlings Jean and Pat.
Very informative and excellent post!
Steamed Puds - Steamed treacle sponge pudding, a traditional British dessert dish consisting of a steamed sponge cake with treacle (syrup) cooked on top of it, sometimes also poured over it and often served with hot custard. The ones with fruit or raisins are called Spotted Dick.
But the British have funny words for things, like a biscuit is our cookie. And a jumper is a sweater.
And then there's bangers and mash....
Hugs and bisous.
I get my T level tested with each physical and so far I am in the normal range. I'd love to hear what any of you did to boost your levels as you got older.
Hmm... all new to me. Thanks for all the great info. I wonder how long before there are those commercials talking about DHEA levels in men? :)
@ Six - That, and get people to spend their hard-earned money on stupid things like Testicle Tanners. LOLOLOL. XOXO
@ Xersex - Libido is indeed linked to testosterone levels. This is why women with low sex drives are prescribed low levels of Testosterone.
@ MFP - My concern now if for France to reelect Macron and keep LePen out of power so she cannot destroy the EU and NATO. Hugs and bisous.
@ Jean - Weird names and the food is not all that tasty. At least it wasn't when I was there. LOL
@ Gabriel - I went on a bio-identical cream. Worked very well. Gave it up because the M.D. destroyed my ability to get a hard-on anyway. No point in spending the money on a monthly prescription that insurance wouldn't cover.
@ Upton - They've been running commercials for that stuff for a long, long time already. All those commercials for Total-T and the like are DHEA supplements. Kisses!
FUX circus entertainment with Fucker KKKarlson, head clown. Lord have mercy, with that, you know it's ludicrous.
As was posted here please see your doctor BEFORE you try any over the counter Testosterone" supplements. Note too, enhancing your testosterone late in life can make an enlarged prostate larger. Not a good idea.
To my knowledge, none of these supplements have FDA approval and their chemical makeup varies widely and may have originated in another country.
As always, buyer beware. Do your research and homework before ingesting any so called miracle pill.
Red light is ineffective. And you won't get any boost near kryptonite.
Ahem. If you want, just go to a nude beach like a normal person. Still some UV light, but not as risky as a tanner.
If you need more UV rays on your junk, I imagine nudism is safer than a tanning lamp.
Spoiler: Worries about sunlight go double for tanning beds.
