    Well , steroids can definately cause UNCONTROLLED anger and agression ... just look at the deal with the pro wrestler, Chris Benoit . He lost it and killed his wife and mentally challenged child .... due to STEROIDS .

    also ... like tobacco products , Steroids can cause the testicals and the penis to SHRINK ..... as well as the vessels going into and out of them ......

    Finally: Steroids , like tobacco products .... CAN cause IMPOTENCE in males .

    Note: It won't happen right away .... you won't notice any of these effects for a few months to a year and a half .... BUT; then when the erections begin not being as firm ... you begin to lose them ... and /or you can't even get one ..... You'll know why .....

    Steroids refer to cholesterol based hormones and there are many of them. Oestrogen is responsible for male sexual pleasure but in too great amounts will cause impotence. Testosterone is responsible for a woman's' libido but too much will cause masculination. They must all be present and balanced in both men and women.

    Most performance enhancing steroids given under a doctors' supervision will have no measurable negative side effects (and will increase a man's potency, not make him dysfunctional).

    If self administered then mood swings and anger are common. Hormone replacement therapy, given by doctors, can also cause a woman to have mood swings and easily become angry but the doctor knows this and has weighed the benefits against the possible side effects.

    Source(s): I see a lot of disinformation (and a lot of really crazy thoughts) here about steroids and just about every other topic.....really you should be asking a qualified specialist or at least go to academic sites on the internet to find your answer. All steroids are already produced naturally in the body so none of them cause really bad effects unless taken in high quantities. No steroid or any other substance will make a penis shrink or give someone three eyes. Don't beleive me or anyone else here...verify yourself using a qualified source.
