What is the Optimal T/E (Testosterone to Estrogen) Ratio?

As mentioned, the optimal testosterone (optimal, not average) is between 700 and 900 ng/dL. For estradiol, the optimal range is between 20 and 30 pg/ml. Although there’s no optimal T/E ratio per se, being within both of those sets of numbers would put you in the optimal range.
You can’t say the optimal ratio is say, 35 to 1 ratio, because it’s not necessarily correct. This ratio could be a 700 testosterone/ 20 estradiol (both in the optimal range – good). However, it could also be a 350 testosterone/10 estradiol (both below optimal – bad).

Note here that there is argument as I have made earlier for lower test levels than 700 to 900 which is above average level .. I have made this earlier in the thread so won't repeat myself . I would imagine one can use this ratio with the lower optimal levels mentioned earlier.

I’m an older guy and my TT ranges from 290 to 310. I do not seem to have a problem with libido; however, I do suffer with ED brought on by diabetes and I have difficulty having an orgasm.

Each guy will have different ideal levels but I have set out the sort of range I believe it will fall in.

Maybe the ratio is more important still. I have read reports of 700 test and 10 estradiol being absolutely dead libido wise, it would be interesting to see how would rank sexuality wise test/est: 700:10, 350:10, 700:20, 350:20. From roiders it's quite unanimous that testosterones libido effects tops around upper reference range and too low estrogen kills sexuality. While the best is very likely 700:20, 700:10 maybe isn't any better than 350:10.

I understand the ideal ratio is circa 35 to one . Of course that assumes the test is in reasonable shape to start with ,
Like wise moderate test with too high estrogen kills the penis .
As per post 171.
