I'm not sure how many saw this study that was recently released:
The long-term impact of high dose AAS use on sexual function remains poorly defined. Although high T dosages appeared to be protective of erectile function during use, de novo symptoms such as decreased libido and ED occurred more frequently after discontinuing T, particularly among those using more frequently and for longer durations. Given the importance of these findings, long-term studies evaluating the impacts of discontinuing T on sexual dysfunction are indicated.

Ok so pretty obvious, you might say, given what we know anecdotally. However what's more interesting is the fact that when you delve into the data you can see, yet again, that doing a PCT (which was pretty widespread) doesn't significantly improve the situation.
I'd also wonder, were they to ask the same questions 2 months later, whether the non-statistically significant improvement that was noticed with PCT drugs simply reverted to baseline once the artificial elevation of LH/FSH ceased.
Anyway, another one for the "at your own risk" crowd.
