I've been in the same boat as you going on about 18 months
42 y/o
6'3"

I workout 3 days a week, and am in decent shape. I carry extra weight in my lovehandles and I hate it. I am the same with sweets as well. I eat well for B/L/D, but every few weeks I go crazy on sugar around 8 pm.

I find myself tired all the time. I usually workout 3 days a week after work and it is getting harder and harder to find motivation. I'm sore after every workout- almost like I am out of shape.

Sex is the same way you described. I know I like it, I can get it up anytime, but I am never "horny" anymore.

I went and got full labs done last summer and my Total Test was 600, and Free Test was 6.1. The total number is great but the free is showing a little lower than normal. My PCP didn't seem to think anything was wrong, but here I am almost a year later and feel the same way. I was expecting my total T to be a lot lower.

I ran a half marathon in Jan 2023 and entertained the idea of training for it again last fall. I ran for about 2 weeks before I gave it up. I just didn't have the "want to".
All of that being said, I haven't done anything to change it, other than hope the feeling goes away. I attribute it to getting older, but man it seems like something more than that.

Just wanted you to know you're not alone.
