Being on testosterone replacement therapy can make your libido go high & cause frequent erections, but in my experience, it's better than the alternative.

Personally, I think you might do better on 100 mg of testosterone per week, as there is less conversion to estrogen & less of an emotional roller coaster experience. But if this works for you without causing emotional issues or gynecomastia, stick with it.  (+ info)
