I've candidly had some experimentation with it and doesn't seem to make at least that big of a difference with you or with a female no with a female with like low testosterone
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
the interesting question is does this help address some of the female use case so for example if one of the symptoms that a female is turning to testosterone for is libido does she really need to be on Mega doses of systemic testosterone Around the Clock versus you know in the same way a man would use Calis for an OnDemand Ed issue could a woman be using intranasal testosterone for an OnDemand libido issue
but obviously the the not having sex and not having a libido probably a outcome for many of them so if it works in the short term on like a use by use basis um I'm sure it's individual case dependent
it has a higher acting so what another point to think about here is where the testosterone where the Androgen receptors are factors into it so the intranasal testosterone probably is more more rapid acting in terms of sex drive and libido whereas the intravaginal testosterone for women increases orgasmic function
cuz it's so acute. It's just like an unsustainable daily treatment. Unfortunately, like it's okay if you're trying to have like an ondemand libido boost as a female or something, but for a guy using it like multiple times a day in snorting something, it's like not something any guy I think would want to do for and even if they think it's cool to begin with, I think for once you get to like the month or couple month mark, you the novelty would probably fade.
