SEXDRIVE!! scientific proof.

[Hunter.S]

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this long winded thread.

Is there scientific proof regarding the effects steroids have on your sexdrive if/when we ever decide to stop using AAS??

I believe(no proof but my own personal experience)that its mostly in your head...
ie:
if you are the type who has no personality,and relies solely on his looks(the size he optained with juice),then once the pump starts to dwindel and your nuts have to start producing there own test again,you begin to feel the depression(wich is proven to lower sexdrive) and prolongs the road to FULL recovery....wich in most cases leads to not only lower sexdrive but loss of gains from lack of drive........you see its like a viscious cycle of shittyness.


However,if you can keep driven,positive,and in the gym i dont see why full recovery is not possible,for all of us....
wich brings us back to my question;

is there scientific proof of permanent lowering of test levels after AAS use?

dont know about that but I can definetly tell that my sex drive has not gone back up to 100% aftter gear (to maybe 90%).. but maybe like a half a year without gear aint nuff for that.. and its definetly not psychological... i just aint as horny, no need to jackoff several times a day.. once or twice is enough... but it was on the rise even at the half a year mark so maybe it goes up again but I definetly wouldnt be surprised if it never returned to 100% normal... As u probably interpreted this is based on nothing but my own feeling..

It really isn't about "sexdrive", so your examply of those of us that have no personality and rely on juice to get laid, is slightly flawed.

Every time you suppress your natural hormonal system, you take a risk of not having it come back fully after you're off. That's a fact. Some have without problems, some have not. In addition, not everyone is 20-30 yrs old. And with those that are older, their "return to baseline" if you will, is much lower than someone who is 20.

So you can look for scientific proof, or you can keep reading about 1,000's of users' good and bad side effects of AAS use.

My sex drive has never returned to what it was before my first cycle.
The blood tests show my levels are sweet but my sex drive is crap. But mind you i don't know what my levels were before my cycle started.

Ditto. And i always love myself lol ; )

There is a sh-t load of papers that show a lowering of sex drive after prolonged usage I think of over three months. However most of the steroid studies are 3 month studies. which tells us nothing since no one goes over 3 months right.

highwire.org is your source for knowledge. look for free papers by the journal of applied physiology or j of endocrinology.

[stupidhippo]

no one goes over 3 months? since 3 months is how many weeks, 13? Id say its not a really uncommon cycle.... actually a big portion of ppl here have done over 3 month cycle..

I never come off, no problems with my sex drive

Well, from what I have taken I actually think it has made me a little hornier. The crazy-er thing about it is I never took HCG, or CLOMID, or any kind of PCT for my cycles. Which let me also point out were rookie cycles without much knowledge but I guess I'm lucky.

I think the author of the post was referring do a drop in serum testosteron after the sessions of injections. Could be wrong though.

Im a novice user. I've done one cycle close to 2 years ago. I can only speak from my expirience but in my case during my cycle I was crazy horny and I F-k'd my girl like an animal and she couldn't get enough.

It was great! The juice def. hooked my sex life up.

The following weeks off the juice I could tell I wasn't running full speed but I would think I have eventually regained where I left off.

I imagine after 6 mos. you are back to relative normalcy but because you were running at well above avrg test. levels your memory of what "was" is jadded.

My sex drive is always crazy good when on gear. After my cycle I've only noticed a slow down for 3-4 weeks after I start PCT but it always comes back to normal. Yeh for me.
