An unfortunate benefit of an

I learnt that anorexia in men reduces testosterone as weight drops low. This can contribute to muscle loss, reduced body hair, osteoporosis and reduced libido. 
 

I want all of these. Oh dear. Support for my AN.

Speaking as someone who has accidently hit borderline anorexia I can say that my experience did not see any benefits and was pretty scary. My weight did drop but I began to feel constantly tired and lethargic. Body hair did not particularly change but my gaunt appearence made my facial looks, in particular, appear far worse. When I eat I felt ill, food making me feel vomiting if I eat much at all.

 

Not a good feeling. I did not look or feel good at all and I am glad I realised in time. I would suggest anyone who is dieting to be careful as it creeps up before you realise, and anyone who does not need to, avoid totally as it is dangerous and people die.

      A lot of salads & "roughage", easy on the dressing? Although, because of way our food is grown these days, there's not a whole lot of minerals and vitamins in those either.

 

      We're ALL gonna starve! At 6' tall I had a very active, strenuous job and dropping down to 155lbs felt constantly next to "passing out".   Just had a density scan, 'ave yet to see results (no news good?), drink exclusively skim milk (vit "D")  and completely avoid processed "junk".

 

      Are you on "E"? Ya need nothing else (Casodex?) as "T" and body hair will eventually take care of themselves and, as far as "libido" goes, 'ave ya met the right guy yet? (lol "emotional support" is one thing "good sex" quite another!)

I’m not on anything - at all.

oops. Forgot to answer this. 
 

I’m asexual & aromantic, so really, loss of libido is what I want. It’s just an annoyance.
