I'm 47 years old...and my body just doesn't produce enough test on it's own to make me feel worth a shit. I don't know if it's because people just aren't supposed to live as long as medical science has made possible or what. (remember the average lifespan was in the 30's a few centuries back) But for whatever reason, I don't think a man should have to grow older looking and feeling like shit.
If I can replace the NATURAL hormones that my body produced as a young man and feel that energy, power, and mental clarity again...then why shouldn't I use testosterone therapy?
I'd rather have the muscular body I have now (I work out everyday at the gym) with a hard cock....than to be what I see most men my age look like: they look like they could be my grandfather. lol I don't want to end up soft, fat bellied, out of shape, no dick, and dying from a dozen little ailments brought on by lack of physical activity that can be directly attributed to lack of drive and weakness of body brought on by a lack of testosterone in the system.
A man who is low on testosterone simply can't just go to the gym and get in shape. It doesn't work that way.
Not getting into the mental aspects of it...just from a physiological standpoint... a guy who has low testosterone CAN'T get in shape. Their muscle tissue won't grow back fast enough after breaking it down during excercise. And since muscle burns fat...they will continue to get fatter. And the fatter they get, the less ability they have to excercise.
It's a vicious circle. Testosterone therapy can break that cycle by giving you back the necessary hormones that you are missing as you age.
As far as guys doing hardcore bodybuilding...yeah they are overdoing it and taking a lot of drugs to get what they want. But that should be their business...not the government or law enforcement. Fucking govt. needs to stay out of people's lives and go back to working FOR us instead of arresting people for bodybuilding. Or partying. Or anything else they can dream up to control people's lives. </rant>

That's how the natural progression of your life SHOULD be.. It's "time for you to calm down" as your entire body does.
It's NATURAL... It's NOT natural to inject hormones into your body, unless you absolutely need them.
Now in your case, maybe you do need them. Maybe you eat well enough and your workout is proper for your age. You aren't as young as MANY of the people in this thread but 47 isn't old either.
So unless you have a real medical problem... you can rejuvenate your body without hormone injections, your body can produce testosterone again, naturally.
But it's never going to be back where it was, you shouldn't feel younger, because you aren't younger. If you don't like how you feel, change your entire style, it's really that simple.
