3. Systolic blood pressure <= 90 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure <= 50 mmHg (supine blood pressure);
4. Use of any contraceptive containing anti-androgens (e.g. Cyproteron acetate) or (anti)androgenic progestogens (drospirenone, dienogest, chlormadinone acetate and norgestrel);
5. Use of any contraceptive or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) containing more than 50 µg/day of estrogen;

11. Liver and/or renal insufficiency (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and gamma glutamyltransferase > 3 times the upper limit of normal and/or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60.00 mL/min based on the Cockcroft Gault formula)

13. Free- and/or total testosterone levels outside the upper limit of the reference range of the central laboratory;
14. Any current clinically relevant neurological disease which, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the validity of study results or which exclude from use of sildenafil, buspirone and/or testosterone;
15. History of hormone dependent malignancy (including all types of breast cancer);
16. Positive test result for immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C (acute and chronic hepatitis infection);
17. History of (childhood) sexual abuse that, in the opinion of the investigator, could result in negative psychological effects when testosterone is administered;
18. (Psychotherapeutic and/or pharmacological treatment for) a psychiatric disorder (other than those under inclusion criterion 6) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the validity of study results or which could be a contraindication for sildenafil, buspirone and/or testosterone use;
