Steroids can also lead to, oh, hypersexuality.

Actually, quite the opposite. The incredible increase in testosterone in the body from steroids generally results in atrophy in the testes (since the body no longer needs to produce its own test) and an increase in estrogen, as the body attempts to balance all that test. This increase in estrogen is why a lot of guys who use steroids develop gynecomastia (”man boobs”). From what I understand it’s terrible when coming off a cycle, the sex drive generally disappears for a while.
