Jelly Roll candidly shared how his weight severely impacted his performance in the bedroom.
In addition to his obesity leading to extremely elevated insulin and cholesterol levels, the country music sensation discovered he had the testosterone count akin to that of a “preteen boy,” which hindered his ability to become aroused.
“Without testosterone, it’s impossible to perform. Despite being married to a gorgeous woman, I still faced challenges,” he revealed to Men’s Health in their Friday feature, speaking about his wife, Bunnie Xo.
The Grammy nominee openly acknowledged, “My testosterone level — and I’m comfortable discussing this — was comparable to a preteen boy’s. When the results came in, it was shockingly low. Shockingly low. Seeing it in black and white was eye-opening. I thought, Is that my testosterone level? We’re talking about a mere 57.”
For context, typical testosterone levels for a 41-year-old male — Jelly Roll’s age — range from approximately 300 to 1,000 ng/dL. However, obesity is commonly linked to reduced testosterone levels, specifically 300 ng/dL and below, as reported by Baptist Health.
The singer shared that his low testosterone was one motivation for starting his weight-loss journey. It also prompted him to start testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which has transformed his sex life.
“I’ll be on testosterone replacement therapy probably for the rest of my life,” he said.
“Now it’s a totally different thing. I’m chasing her around the house, you know what I’m saying?” I’m like a teenage kid again!
“I’m like the Pink Panther. I bust out of every corner. And she opens the cabinet, and I go, ‘Hi!’” he quipped.
The “Wild Ones” singer opened up about his once “horrible” sex life earlier this month, where he again insisted that his wife — who he married in 2016 — was not the problem.
“Dude, I married a f–king big-tittied, blond, beautiful woman, you know what I mean?” he proudly said on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” “I married the kind of woman that makes you smile when you cry.”
“My sex life was horrible… I couldn’t even get aroused, I was so big,” he confessed.
He also joked that he was “having to play Twister to have sex.”
“Left foot here, right foot on the X,” he cracked. “Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something.”
Jelly Roll — born Jason Bradley Deford — once weighed 550 pounds at his heaviest. He’s lost more than 200 pounds since embarking on a weight loss journey in 2022.
In September, he celebrated the milestone by treating himself to a designer wardrobe.
“I can fit in Louis Vuitton now. Pray for my bank account,” he playfully captioned some snaps, showing off his impressive weight loss.
