Steriods and sex iin?

46% Normal
50 Comments

So I am now almost 7 weeks into a moderate steroid cycle with test and a few other things and have noticed some weird changes sexually. I'm more honry during the day and have a stronger sex drive but like it's harder to actually get an erection. Like I need to feel more turned on to get hard than I did before but my sex drive is higher. I figured it would be one or the other not both it's kinda weird lol. I don't expect anyone to know excatly what's going on, but a better question is should I be concerned? Is this a bad sign of sexual function going down hill and do I need to stop steroids?

    You should stop taking steroids.

      For this reason or others? Non-sexual health problems aren't a concern of mine.

          All of them? How much do you know about the side effects of steroids?

          How will my liver enzyme activity levels effect my sex life?

          How will my blood cholesterol levels and hdl to ldl ratio affect my sex life?

    The problem with juice is your body gets use to it and will never produce as much testosterone naturally once you quit taking it. You're too young to start that shit. If you were 35-40 id say go for it but at 20 you have enough testosterone already and you're gonna need it for the rest of your life now if your body gets dependent on it.

      Yeah dependence sucks. I'll probably have to do TRT when I'm older. The whole reason I'm taking them anyways is because I can get any bigger naturally, or at least it's super difficult.

        Im definitely going on TRT when I get older. I went through a bulking stage after highschool and I always found the hardest part wasnt usually to gain the muscle it was to maintain it. Do you feel that way too? Like if you get really big you can lose a lot if you slack for a few days.

          Maintaining it after a cycle is tough and when your cutting weight as well. I did a bodybuilding show once and got super peeled like 5% bf and was so much smaller a while after that.

          I can't remember what level about were you at muscular wise? I slack for a few days all the time because my workouts are so hard. I feel like complete shit for at least 48 hours after leg day and then usually I have one meh day before I train again.

          If you do lower volume per workout and or aren't using as much weight than that would make more sense. Although you won't lose muscle in just a few days slacking if your eating enough calories, your muscles will look smaller. But they only look smaller because of decreased intramuscular hydration not actual muscle tissue loss.

            I will look for some pictures from that time to post when I get some time. I had a similar build to boxer george foreman height and muscular wise. I've always built muscle really fast and easy but I also lose it really fast. I'm still like that to this day. If I lift everyday for the next two weeks I'll be noticeably bigger in the mirror but if I stop working out as much i lose it.

              Yeah find a pic of someone who looks like you did that helps.

              I would guess that you were pretty top heavy muscular wise as most athletes and especially boxers are.

              I'm just jealous you can get noticable bigger in the mirror in two weeks natural. I was to the point where it would take months but now that I'm on juice it's easy to tell haha I'm gonna be so yoked by week 12.

    From what I've heard taking steroids is very bad for you. Bad for your health and bad for your sex life. Steroids decrease testosterone levels and mess with your whole body.

    My cousin used to take steroids and hit the gym a lot in a desperate attempt to look like some athlete type... Sure enough, while he was busting his ass off, he had large muscles, a toned body and everything, but he quit all of this shit, cause he had to focus on his job, moving house and a bunch of other stuff. He lost all of the muscle, got fat and flabby and an ex of his (neighbor of mine) says he has problems in the bedroom department.

    Long story short - steroids are bad. There is a point where bodybuilding turns into a freak show... and it's best you don't cross that point.

      Oh really because I haven't heard that. They are not very bad for you if you cycle properly and don't take to many.

      Have you actually researched the side effects or are you just using this one anecdote to make such a claim? What was your cousins cycle even made of? Some shit is super dangerous some almost not at all.

        Like I said, I just heard bad stories... and seen how my cousin turned out. I've never taken steroids myself and I haven't read much into side effects.

        As for my cousin, he definitely bought garbage steroids, cause he got them from a guy, who knew a guy, who bought the steroids from Turkey online. And the stuff he had, had no labels. Only the box had a leaflet telling you what you bought and maybe how you use it... but he was an idiot and made a dumb choice.
        Most steroids in Bulgaria are garbage and there is practically no regulation on their sales, so that definitely has a say in my opinion on steroids.

        Personally, I would never take steroids. I wouldn't mind building a bit of muscle mass and probably should find the time to hit the gym again, but it's just to be in good shape, not to win mr. Olympia...

          Hey I like hearing anecdotes just don't claim its 100% a fact that steroids are horrible because of your cousin.

          Buying steroids is sketchy no doubt but still what he did was stupid. A lot of questionable steriod outlets will give you something stronger than you wanted so you get way more side effects. You still don't seem to know what excat compounds he took which is fine, but that is very important as well.

          I don't want to win mr O and would never take nearly that much shit. You would not believe how much shit some of those guys take its absurd. One guy I saw was spending 80,000 a week on ONE compound and taking a bunch of other shit.

    There is nothing positive that can come from using steroids. If you have reached a point where you need to use drugs to change the way you look then you clearly have a very unhealthy and distorted body image. Its downhill all the way. Stop now before its too late.

        As far as Im concerned if you take steroids you are lacking intelligence. Its in the same category as heroin and meth ie I value my life and brain too much to ever go down that road. I also do not allow the toxic pressures of the media and culture to dictate how I feel about my body. If youre using steroids you obviously have an inferiority complex and unhealthy body image. Fix those two things then you wont need steroids.

          Disagree, disagree, disagree, disagree

          Steroids are for people who want to be great athletes, it has nothing to do with intelligence.

          Second, they don't wreck your brain

          Third, they don't wreck your body and have a very small impact on all cause mortality if used properly.

          Fourth, wanting to look better is not an unhealthy body image.

            Doesnt matter how much you disagree. Doesnt change the facts. In the last year alone I can recall several incidents in which steroid users went on a shooting rampage ending in their own death. One happened here just last week. The police had to shoot him 20 times.
            Roid rage is a well known documented side effect. Doesnt effect the brain? Really? Being a great athlete has nothing to do with drugs. Did the original olympians shoot up steroids? Absolutely not. If you have to do this to be an athlete then youre in the wrong sport. There is nothing great or admirable about it. Besides the fact that many men arent even doing it for that reason anyway. Theyre doing it for vanity ie for purely aesthetic reasons. You sound like a typical drug addict making excuses to justify your addiction.

              Extreme steroid use does all the things you say, my cycle is not extreme.

    Most of these people have no idea what they are talking about. Different steroids will affect you differently. Deca, taken alone, will give you a limp dick. Test will make you horny and you will be hard more often. Steroids IF ABUSED, are bad for you. Any thing abused is bad for you. You can OD on water for crying out loud. In moderation, their fine. Some people get ache, some don't. You will stop producing your own testosterone. But, when you stop taking steroids your body will start producing again. You should take a break from them 3 to 4 times a year for 4-6 weeks. The biggest addiction is mental, because you love the way you'll look.

      Omg great response bro. Your exactly right! I will cycle off in a few weeks. And yes I'm avoiding deca lol. Test plus anavar and a few others. It hasn't really affected my mood.

    Starting up with my new pellet trt! It seems when you increase your average daily amount by 120x you get WAY MORE heated than normal. Besides getting random boners.

      Have you ever done like a more legit does of test on a cycle or just TRT? How much test is on your TRT dose? It's a lot different in higher dose cycles but I will do TRT when I'm older most likely.

        I was on it but with a limited dosage refill until the implant. So I guess I was around 5ng per liter
