A member asked:

Could steroids increase your sexual drive a lot more than usual?

Depends: There are lots of steroids. If you're on prednisone, this usually doesn't increase sex drive although i've known a few patients who say it does. Androgenic steroids like testosterone certainly increase your sex drive.
