Doesn testosterone make men aggressive and hostile?
Because of reports of the abuse of anabolic steroids by athletes, testosterone has suffered from a negative public image. The perception is that testosterone is responsible for undesirable male traits such as aggression and hypersexuality. And some people have developed a fear that it will ‘bring out the beast’ in men. These are myths. They stem from results of testosterone being used by men with normal testosterone levels who took testosterone at doses which were much higher than TRT doses prescribed for men going through Andropause.
