I feel like there’s this explot in human psychology:
People are pretty bad at matching causes to effects.
Doing something novel / outside your usual routine can feel pretty good, regardless of what it is you’re doing.
Therefore: People who try weird diets, snake oils, or letting the sun shine on their asshole really do feel better afterwards, at least for a while. That must mean it works!
That’s the placebo effect, baby. That’s part of why’s we’s gots control groups in medical studies - to filter out the noise of just having hope now that you’ve got something new.
how do you even “feel” an increase in T? more irrational aggression? acute hair loss?
