Well, I’ve been on the same dose for the past 8 years (set by my original endocrinologist and carried forward by all doctors since, who’ve basically shrugged and said “ehh, worked so far”). Last time I had my testosterone levels checked they were on the high end of normal, which suits me fine. I have a fairly high sex drive, which you might expect, but very low aggression, which you might not—although I’ve always been a very passive and non-aggressive person. So I guess to answer your question, I haven’t really explored different amounts. I don’t particularly plan to in the future, if for no other reason than I’ve been on my current dose long enough to self-identify with the range of behaviours it produces.
What’s your favorite amount of testosterone? Why? Would the optimum shift according to purpose?

Other than wanting more sex, did you notice your mind changing?
I also wonder if late puberty extends the pre-adult skill learning window (adults supposedly can’t learn as much or as well).
