   TRT is a problem if you keep going for too long, because your body just doesn't produce testosterone as it used to, because it expects it from the outside, so below 35 or rather below 40 year olds: don't sign up for this too quickly.
This is the reason why my doctor wouldn't prescribe it for me (38 year-old male, hoping to have a kid with my wife in the next year or two). When on testosterone supplements, the body can start to rely on the outside testosterone and gradually stops producing its own. He said it can result in a situation where you're essentially locked into taking testosterone forever.

Strangely, I didn't see that risk mentioned in the linked article. Did I simply miss it?
