Even when I went off of testosterone for around three weeks after being on it for three weeks due to lack of supply, I found that I could get an erection and have an orgasm (Cialis helped somewhat with the erection)! My libido and function was still impaired though, and I would not get morning erections nor spontaneous erections. Time to orgasm lessened from taking up to hours to perfectly normal (I had problems with premature ejaculation off the drug). On testosterone, everything functioned as if I were on no drug at all. Thus, it appears as if my function came back after around 7-8 months on the drug at 90mg/day. THERE IS HOPE. Do NOT give up until at LEAST _FOUR_ months after reaching your therapeutic dose.
Taking a stimulant or dopamine agonist with testosterone could allow you to reduce the dose. The only side effect I have noticed is some nipple soreness and mild gynecomastia when I went off of it. Now that I am back on it, it is going away. None of that is irreversible; anti-estrogenic drugs or aromatase inhibitors can help with this when not using the hormones.
