Body Hair Recovery

 

Good morning.

"When I was younger (through my 30's), I was considered a "bear" - coverage of hair everywhere.  Chest, abs, pubs, back, arms, etc. Hell, even my cock had hair on the shaft!  Over the past 25 or so years, I've noticed that my body hair has diminished - even at the underarms.  I had written that off as just a derivative of the poor health, Low-T and years of a sedimentary career, binding clothing, etc.  ... Natural hair loss does not run anywhere in my family and my body is not completely bare; what's there that I can see is either dark gray or silver and just really, really sparse.

Can body hair recover or once gone, it's gone for good?  I kinda miss (as does my husband) the chest hair among many other places. If this condition is somewhat normal for men as we age? Are there OTC topical treatments that can help the follicles resume activity?   Or could this be a side-effect of a combination of medications for the conditions that are now mitigating?"

According to Medicine Plus (.gov), the loss of ancillary body hair in men is part of the normal aging process. Called Alopecia (where have we heard about that in the not too distant past?), the cause is typically the natural lowering of Testosterone levels. Other health factors can contribute: low iron, peripheral artery disease, coronary heart disease.

You indicated in your email (omitted here for brevity) that you've boosted your health outlook, so that's not a factor. You're also on Testosterone replacement --- though some men end up with male-pattern balding --- so it's not low T.

Most research indicates that once body hair has taken a hike, it doesn't come back.

So many different treatments have been tried --- topicals, oral supplements which, according to experts, don't really work. But, because your body hair is thinning but not gone, I wonder if Nutrafol night help? While their website doesn't indicate body hair, it might be worth a shot. 

Any experience with this; any suggestions, Readers?

Too Strange?

 

Good morning.

"Have a question that Maximus and I were discussing. I wondered if you might have an answer. If a person is transitioning into a male and has started testosterone therapy, will their genitals begin to smell like a male instead of like a female even though there is still a vagina, but less estrogen ?
Hope you don't think this is too strange of a question."

I don't think it's too strange of a question. What I was able to find was rather two-fold. The Testosterone injections which a trans must take  on a regular basis will certainly alter body odor. However, as it overpowers the estrogen, the vaginal secretions cease and the natural smell will dissipate but can cause vaginal dryness. Which, in turn, can become problematic for some. The cure for that comes in a variety of OTC creams.

Transitioning not an easy thing. It takes several years. There's the required counseling, then the hormone injections, before any surgery can take place. 

Bottom surgery is still being adjusted to make the clitoris look and function more like a penis and to create a large enough scrotum for testicular implants.

 Hormone treatment will never cease.

Now that penile transplants have been working, perhaps --- some day in the future --- trans surgery will be able to employ that ???

Taking Care of Business

 

Good morning.

"How long should a guys morning boner last? My boyfriend wakes up with one and it's still hard while he's showered and shaved. Sometimes he's tucking it into his pants to go to work."

Most guys lose the morning wood during the morning piss.

One reason could be the level of testosterone, which is always highest in the morning because it's replenished at we sleep. (Which is why doctors always want T level checked first thing in the morning.)

The other reason is sensitivity. The harder the cock, the more sensitive it will be, and any stimulation will keep it going. If he feels it's a problem, he might want to try taming the beast as he showers.

That is, if it's not going to upset you that he's taking care of business.

Really Good Dose

 

Good morning

Speaking of noticing boners....

"You guys ever have one of those days when your dick won't leave you alone and you can't keep your hands off of it? Like it's hard when you wake up and it never really goes down?"

I'm sure every male has faced those days. Call it a "severe case of the hornies."

But, most likely, it's due to a really good dose of testosterone --- which is replenished while we sleep.

and contributes to the hardness of morning wood.
