I think you guys will like Nelson Vergel's latest free book with over 380 slides he made for doctors that treat men with low testosterone:

Re: A question about testerone levels
I researched low T alot, as I saw I had low T and had an assumption that correcting that may fix my ED. I got it treated by a doctor very experienced/knowledgeable on TRT/HRT.
Only consistent improvement noticed was more muscle, but I already had slightly above average muscle before TRT. Unlike a lot of guys on T, I didn't have any desire for more muscle if it meant I had to take something unnatural. Even though I wasnt taking the high doses wrestlers take who die of a heart attack in their 40s, that news was still concerning. Minimal benefit, moderate risk, so I tapered off 1-2 yrs later because it didn't help ED. Some conservative doctors are also against it (such as my dad). I also get the odd feeling that alot of the studies that promote TRT have a conflict of interest. Studies against TRT don't have much/any financial incentive.
My opinion may be controversial, but it's just my personal experienced opinion. Your experience may be different.

Re: A question about testerone levels
I'm pretty sure T has no effect on ED.
I started taking it some years back due to feeling run down.
It seemed to help that, but also seemed to give me more strength and my libido increased.
I wouldn't take it if I didn't feel I needed it, and no one else should either imo.
