I have low testosterone.
I was told that the best solution is testosterone injections.
I've been using sex pills at adult shops to get erection. The staff at adult stores were VERY HELPFUL in that regard. Any advice would be appreciated. Is there an alternative to Viagra (since they pretty much told me I can't get a prescription and they'd rather do the shots.)
If a doctor has suggested T injections, I would follow their advice
Go see a doctor rather than asking advice on a message board.
@puddytat, I am overweight but not obese. I could stand to at least 30 pounds. I was honestly told that it's more likely due to my bad diet than anything else.
@HankMoody, I went to see a doctor first as I knew something was wrong. I'm actually depressed by this news (and it doesn't help that I have a history of depression).
I only came on here to see if there may be some other Viagra-type pills I can try. But I would never not seek professional help. My biggest issue is financing the T shots.

Getting Viagra is pretty easy if you're trying to go that route. Look up Hims or Lemonade health, both of those (and several other) options exist for doing a virtual appointment with a doc who will ask very few questions.
The other option is to just go to Mexico where you can buy Viagra without a prescription.
And sorry OP that you're dealing with the Low-T and depression, that sucks, I feel for you.
Thanks @RonJax, you get alot of flak but your one of the most reasonable voices on here.
I've seen Hims advertising everywhere but never took the time to look into it. I'll look into the other options you mentioned as well.
Hims and Roman make you sign up for a subscription (or trick you into signing up for a prescription.
Try goodrx. It's an online pharmacy, they sell all kinds of drugs including ED drugs. Answer a few questions online, add your info, pay with CC, pills come in the mail in 2-5 days depending on where in the US you are.
Testosterone can be risky, cause hair loss or even gyno. Problem with testosterone is it can convert to estrogen easily especially if you already have high cortisol or estrogen.
And serotonin can cause issues down there too, hence the anti depressants causing issues.
Dietary cholesterol, saturated fat, even carbs to some extent, actually help with boners. Red meat, dairy fat, butter, etc.
Its the omega 3/omega 6 oils that can hurt, and omega 6 more so than omega 3. So that basically includes all fried foods, chips, rice, fish, most nuts and most seeds and most oils… even most desserts unless theyre made using butter or olive/avocado/coconut oil or creme.
Pork fat and chicken fat is a nono because they usually have way too much omega 6 also.
What is your diet like? What supplements/drugs/medicines do you use? Most of the time those things have side effects.
Its about blood flow, but also hormones, and also muscle. The dick is a muscle, so generally things that improve muscle growth or blood flow, should also improve it. That means to some extent, you need carbs/protein in the diet. So if youre doing a keto diet where protein/carbs are too low that could easily hurt things.
Hmm. Tell me more about these staff members at adult shops who were ... ahem ... "very helpful." Did they make sure to ... ahem ... "give you a hand" ... ? Hmmm? :)
@book guy, The adult stores tell me about the stuff that they 'personally' know what works. The Neptune pills in particular are very effective. The Beast pill is good as well. They don't offer extras.
They have a gummy bear and Nutella knock off as well that works ,(can't remember the name). Alot of gas station pills work as well (my advice is to drink it with an energy drink to accelerate the process).
You can catch some local stripper talent as they usually shop there.

You just identified most of my problem. I eat way too much fried chicken. I also eat cheap McDonalds burgers almost every day. It basically becomes my primary diet for almost a year. I use to eat more fish and green vegetables. I'm only recently going back to eat actual cooked food again.
I'm not addicted to fast food, I'm addicted to fast living. I hope that make sense to anyone over 50 on this site. I can cook baked sausage and fish at home with green vegetables. I have become lazy and just bought whatever was cheap at insert restaurant (MCD, KFC, Pizzas, etc).
You need to know why you can't get a prescription to Viagara and take care of that issue first. Otherwise, you may be compromising your health by taking alternative supplements. Talk it over with your doctor.

On paper, the mcdonalds beef doesnt appeae that bad. They claim it is 100% beef. It should at least be the same as cheap ground beef youd get at any grocery store. The cheaper stuff isnt grass fed or organic, but should be similar.
But the biggest problems with mcdonalds, is the fries, the fried fish/chicken, and then the mayonnaise, the big mac sauce, and the buns. If you look it up, their sauces like mayo/mac sauce use soybean oil. Additional, the buns also use soybean oil, but in a much smaller amount. The buns you could probably get away with if you eat at most 1 bun per day. So youd need to throw away the buns jf you get multiple sandwiches. I think they should allow you to purchase additional beef patties at $1 each or something.
Anyway mcdonalds isnt ideal but the beef patties can be useful if your on the road. Even the pickles on their sandwiches contain “alum” and a bunch of chemicals. The lettuce isnt organic. So your better off just not getting any toppings besides a small slice cheese, ketchup mustard. And their diced onions should be okay, they are just onion nothing added.
You can get high quality milk, skyr or greek yogurt, and also whey protein for fast living. Usually minimal cleanup and minimal preparation. The whey can be mixed with fruit juice. Also you can get organic oatmeal or some organic cereals. Sausage if its pork will still have too much omega 6 fat unless you get some special , grass fed or milk fed pork. Which is hard to find. Fish will have too much fat too unless its a leaner kind
Regarding the pizzas, the new york style pizza from Dominos is probably safer. Since they really cut down on the bread on it, maybe the cheese to some extent too. If your getting the handmade pan stuff, that looks and tastes like it’s fried, so it uses a lot more oil, probably soybean I would think. Most places that use cooking oils use the cheaper ones which are dangerous. But the good thing is most of the time beef products dont have added oils. Sometimes bread doesnt have much oil in jt either.
But if you get rice at say chipotle or cava you can tell its soaked in grease. It tastes way too good, has an oily texture… i think cava said they use sunflower oil on their rice. Im not sure what chipotle uses . The Chinese restaurants seem to use plain rice with no oil
Side note: Buddy of mine thought it was smart to get "Black Market" testosterone from his drug dealer. He change his mind when his testicles started shrinking.
FWIW, RocketRX has dirt cheap generic cialis and viagra. The online questionairre for the scrip is 5 check boxes, and the "correct" answers are obvious
@rightfield the testicle shrinkage occurs from using testosterone. Even the purest cleanest testosterone will cause testicle shrinkage because the testes cut down their own production
All the info on on-line Viagra and everyone is missing the cheapest, by far: Friday plans.
Thank you everyone for all of the advice. I'm definitely going to look into it. @pudding tat, yeah I'm cautious of scams too. That's why I wanted to get some advice. I'll background check everything before I spend too much money. Most of the stuff mentioned is legit.
We ricks don’t need any male enhancement. We ooze masculinity from our very pores. I mean really, I’m so frickin’ male that the barber has to double bag the clippings from my mane lest the manliness eat a hole in the floor like some kind of ultra-powerful acid.
Hear me now and believe me next Tuesday sometime between 3 and 4 am: when you’re a rick you are like some kinda supercalifragilisticexpialidociousubermale. ROAR!!!
I'd like to add that it's not that I can't get hard without pills. The issue is that it doesn't last as long as I need it to. Combine that with the fact that some of women I deal with are too lazy to do any male stimulation.
