My wife pretty much told me to take a flying leap when I suggested she get her teostosterone checked. Unfortunately, it is a little hard to push her to get these checked, and if they are low, to ask her to take testosterone. For women, testosterone can have nasty side effects like body hair and liver failure. It is a chemical that can make sex better, but it certainly is not needed to maintain her life. For men though, low testsoterone can be a sign that things are wrong, and I am not sure their are any nasty side effects if men have to take testsoterone. In fact, it might actually be good for him.
